It is history of sorts. For the first time, United States (US) mobile operators have added Internet of Things (IoT) connections to their networks faster than mobile phones or Tablets.
According to Chetan Sharma Consulting, for the second quarter of the year, cars alone were getting connected to cellular networks faster than anything else. In all US carriers, about 1.4 million cars got connected to cellular networks in Q2, compared to 1.2 million phones and less than 900,000 Tablets.
AT&T, the carrier that’s led in connected cars, has already been adding them faster than phones and tablets combined for seven consecutive quarters.
AT&T is dominating the IoT Revenues and with Verizon, and the duo was pretty much cleaning up the IoT revenue stream in the operator segment.
