As important as the internet of things is likely to become, as a driver of incremental new 5G network revenue, it remains unclear just how big a revenue boost the “access” connections will be. According to Ericsson, some 20 billion connected IoT devices will be use by 2023.
But only 1.8 billion of those IoT devices will use mobile connections in 2023.
In other words, less than 10 percent of total IoT sensor connections will use the mobile network. That explains the interest in specialized low-power WANs.
Most of the IoT devices (perhaps 90 percent) will connect using other local and short-range networks.
