The connected-device count is forecast to exceed twenty-five billion by 2030, with cellular-connected IoT growing from roughly three billion connections today to over six billion by the end of the decade. Most of those new devices are not smartphones or laptops — they are smart meters, asset trackers, agricultural sensors, industrial monitors, and consumer wearables. Each one sends very little data but requires reliable wide-area connectivity, multi-year battery life, and a module cost low enough to be embedded in commodity hardware. Cellular IoT exists because traditional cellular…
