A Theoretical Framework For Telecom Internet of Things in Developing Countries

Abstract

the Internet of things (IoT) works through different types of communication networks. Providing IoT services by operators will bring benefits to IoT and operators alike. Operators must deploy new technologies such as the IoT and must be speeding up their introduction, as it is the growing interest of the end-user, or operators will let themselves out of the technical market. Operators will get an opportunity to invest, which will bring them benefits. Also, IoT will benefit from the maturity and experience of telecom operators. So authors of this paper developed a theoretical framework that helps operators direct their interest in IoT solutions in developing countries. This framework includes the factors affecting the provision of IoT services, whether they are negative or positive also the services. The researchers relied on the previous literature review to conclude this framework. The researchers also concluded that operators have significant untapped opportunities in providing these services.
