2. Mobile Operator Survey Shows the Internet
of Things is Major Operator Focus
Starhome Mach, the global leader in mobile inter-carrier
services, recently surveyed the world’s roaming community at
the GSMA Wholesale Agreements and Solutions (WAS)
conference regarding IoT/M2M growth and how it will affect
global networks.
With more than 86% indicating that they had either launched or
were in the process of launching M2M services, it is clear that
M2M is a mainstream, global opportunity for mobile operators.
The survey results revealed several important roaming issues.

Currently 70% of operators are unable to detect when M2M
devices roam into their networks. These devices do not behave
like people; some consume signalling but very little data, and the
ones that are defective or poorly configured may cause
significant network issues.
The survey showed that 75% of operators are not steering their
outbound M2M devices to preferred partner networks for fear
that devices will lose coverage during the steering process. This
major industry issue prevents operators from optimizing their
wholesales costs.

M2M is compounded by low ARPU, meaning unmanaged M2M
roaming traffic may be costing operators significantly more
without a comparable return.
“M2M/IoT has the potential to drive significant growth for
operators,” said Guy Reiffer, VP Marketing and Partnerships at
Starhome Mach. “However, they need the infrastructure to
identify and manage the opportunities while maximizing
revenue and minimizing risk.
“We can make a difference. Our ‘Awareness and Profit’ M2M
products focus on optimizing wholesale revenues & allowing the
operator to identify inbound M2M devices for better control”.
