The Power of Ukrainian IT Consulting: A Look into Gartner's Recent Research

 NB-IoT devices are widely used in medical devices, logistics, and environmental monitoring, as well as in the digitalization of housing and communal services, namely, in the digitalization of water supply systems. 

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW267314842 BCX0" style="user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; clear: both; position: relative;">The Internet of things is gradually being introduced into everyday life - from logistics to housing and communal services. And this applies not only to "smart sensors" in apartments but also to the automation of sales companies.&nbsp;</div><div>Fortune Business Insights estimates that the Internet of Things (IoT) market will reach $1.46 trillion by 2027. Analysts estimated the average annual growth rate of the market at 24.9%. But it is much more interesting to observe not only the dynamics of growth but also the changes in segments within the IoT.&nbsp;</div><div>The share of IoT devices connected via 2G and 3G networks has been declining since 2019, giving way to the segment of data transmission over 4G/5G networks. But, according to the<a href="https://www.ericsson.com/en/reports-and-papers/mobility-report "> Ericsson Mobility Report</a>, by 2027, 51% of all cellular IoT connections will be provided by other technologies - NB-IoT and Cat-M1. They allow you to connect a large number of low-cost devices with long battery life. The NB-IoT standard is preferred for devices and sensors that transmit data from time to time.&nbsp;</div><div>Already now, NB-IoT devices are widely used in medical devices, logistics, and environmental monitoring, as well as in the digitalization of housing and communal services, namely, in the digitalization of water supply systems.&nbsp;</div><div>The study notes the following growth factors:&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;-&nbsp;management of operating costs at a new level, satisfying the demand for quality water supply and sanitation services;&nbsp;- conditions for mandatory digitalization of repaired and modernized facilities;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;the growing digitalization of the utility sector as a whole and the stimulation of the development of the concept of "Smart Cities" by the state.&nbsp;</div><div>All water utilities and resource-supplying organizations in one way or another are engaged in dispatching and online monitoring of resources. However, these processes require massive data collection. And this is where IoT technologies can help organizations.&nbsp;<h1 class="cche-сommon-title">What IoT technologies can be used by water utilities and distribution companies?</h1></div><div>Most often, IoT solutions in the housing and utility sector are used to transmit location data and meter readings, access control, and equipment status. In most cases, many devices transmit small amounts of data. Since there are hundreds and thousands of objects from which it is necessary to obtain information, this dictates its own requirements:&nbsp;</div><div>- devices should be simple and inexpensive;&nbsp;</div><div>- they should not require frequent recharging or changing the battery;&nbsp;</div><div>At the same time, the communication channel must have a high penetrating ability in order to transmit data from hard-to-reach places.&nbsp;</div><div>Several technologies are used for data transmission, but the most promising is NB-IoT (Narrow band Internet of things, narrow-band Internet of things), a type of LPWAN technology (Low-power Wide-area Network, energy-efficient long-range network). There are several reasons for this.&nbsp;</div><div>1.&nbsp;Unlike most other LP-Wan networks, NB-IoT can be deployed on the infrastructure and equipment of existing LTE, which reduces implementation costs.&nbsp;</div><div>2.The technology operates in the licensed spectrum, that is, it is protected from interference, while this range is low-frequency, which ensures high signal penetration. This is one of the most important criteria for digitalization and implementation of IoT technologies by water utilities, heating networks, and other resource supplying enterprises since the places for installing meters and sensors are located in the basements of houses, wells, below ground level - in general, where there is not always a regular mobile connection.&nbsp;</div><div>3.NB-IoT devices have low power consumption, which ensures a service life without replacing batteries&nbsp;for up to 10 years.&nbsp;</div><div>Thus, NB-IoT networks allow you to set up an uninterrupted operation of IoT solutions in any industry where there is a need for automated collection and transmission of information - from agriculture and industry to retail and logistics.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><h1 class="cche-сommon-title">Why IoT is getting cheaper and more convenient for business?&nbsp;</h1></div><div>Since NB-IoT allows you to connect client devices without requiring the construction of additional base stations and communication channels, this can significantly reduce project time and costs for its implementation.&nbsp;In addition, operators can analyze customer traffic consumption and optimize offers for customers.&nbsp;</div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW267314842 BCX0" style="user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; clear: both; position: relative; font-family: &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="EOP SCXW267314842 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 22.6625px; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, &quot;Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Times New Roman_MSFontService&quot;, serif; color: #222222;">&nbsp;</div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW267314842 BCX0" style="user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; clear: both; position: relative; font-family: &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="EOP SCXW267314842 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 22.6625px; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, &quot;Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Times New Roman_MSFontService&quot;, serif; color: #222222;">&nbsp;</div><div id="gtx-trans" style="position: absolute; left: -22px; top: 407px;"><div class="gtx-trans-icon"></div></div>

Moving to the cloud is an important but risky business decision that requires a good assessment of the pros and cons.

<div>The popularity of cloud services has been growing rapidly in recent years. The promise of savings on capital and operating expenses, as well as scalability and elasticity, have prompted companies to move to the cloud. However, the transition to the cloud comes with a lot of challenges. One of them, security, is a huge issue for organizations that want to move to the cloud.&nbsp;</div><div>Data security&nbsp;</div><div>Security plays an important role for many organizations when moving to the cloud. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) keep the exact location of their data centers a secret. Although this is the best practice in physical security, many potential customers are afraid of not knowing the location of their data and are turning away from cloud services.&nbsp;</div><div>Information sovereignty also plays a big role in the transition to the cloud. Companies don't want to lose access to data due to legal complications. Compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one of the key concerns for companies. Violation of the GDPR and other regulations entails large financial penalties, which most organizations want to avoid. For this reason, many organizations prefer to store sensitive data (personal information, etc.) locally.&nbsp;</div><div>But data loss prevention (DLP) systems are critical to the organization. Accidental deletion of data can occur on the part of the organization. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) may refer to the CSP's assistance in recovering systems and information. If the CSP fails to meet the SLA, the client will suffer a big loss. Therefore, organizations want to be sure that their backups are safe, because in the event of data loss or corruption, they need to restore data within recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO).&nbsp;</div> Conducting complex check <div>Choosing one CSP over another is not always an easy decision. Some cloud service providers can make it difficult for an organization to migrate to other providers. Before choosing a CSP, a company should carefully review the cloud service terms of use of a particular CSP.&nbsp;</div><div>Lack of due diligence can slow down the response of security services to cyberattacks. Most CSPs operate under a shared responsibility model when it comes to cloud security, so it is critical for cloud customers to understand their role and that of the CSP in this model. Cyber-attacks are inevitable, so companies need to have incident response plans in place and be confident in how providers protect themselves.&nbsp;</div><div>When evaluating a public cloud option, a company should understand that this model uses a multi-user license to reduce costs. Service customers need to be confident in CSP and defense-in-depth methods because the lack of multi-layered protection will allow a hacker to launch a series of cyberattacks after one successful attempt.&nbsp;</div><div>Main Threats&nbsp;</div><div>Denial of Service Attacks&nbsp;</div><div>Companies running mission-critical services in the cloud can be severely affected by DoS and DDoS attacks that paralyze business operations. To minimize the risk of such attacks, companies should strive to eliminate single points of failure when provisioning workloads.&nbsp;</div><div>Insecure APIs&nbsp;</div><div>Most tasks for provisioning, managing, orchestrating, and monitoring workloads in the cloud are performed through API calls. Therefore, the importance of reliable APIs should not be underestimated, because the security and availability of shared cloud services depend on them. Lack of well-configured authorization, access control, and API monitoring can lead to various breaches and devastating hacker attacks.&nbsp;</div><div>Natural disasters&nbsp;</div><div>The possibility of a natural disaster, although not an attack, is still an event that disrupts cloud services. If a natural disaster destroys CSP data centers, it will cause severe disruption to businesses using data centers, because even with advanced backup methods, in the event of a natural disaster, the risk of information loss is quite high.&nbsp;</div><div>SUMMARY&nbsp;</div><div>Moving to the cloud is an important but risky business decision that requires a good assessment of the pros and cons. It can cause irreparable damage to a company, but with careful security and risk assessment, it can make cloud services a great tool for company growth. A reliable provider can help make an informed risk-free decision. &nbsp;</div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW199624438 BCX0" style="user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; clear: both; position: relative;">Contact us for a free consultation. &nbsp;</div><div id="gtx-trans" style="position: absolute; left: -7px; top: 894px;"><div class="gtx-trans-icon"></div></div>
