Ericsson enables Communications Service Providers (CSPs) to sell managed IoT connectivity in AWS Marketplace – meeting enterprises’ need to buy cellular IoT in a fast, flexible and easy way
By 2025, more than 5 billion cellular Internet of Things (IoT) connections are forecasted globally, according to the Ericsson Mobility Report. To meet the increasing demand for enterprise IoT connectivity and simplified acquisition, Ericsson announced it will now enable the sale of managed connectivity for its CSP partners, available in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace.
AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on AWS. The one-stop-shop will enable enterprises to meet their IoT needs leveraging Telenor Connexion as the pioneer global connectivity provider for this new service.
