Global 2G and 3G networks are being shut down at record speed as operators worldwide retire legacy technology to free spectrum for 4G and 5G. By mid-2025, more than 278 shutdowns were completed, planned, or underway across 83 countries, and nearly half of tracked operators had already switched off 3G entirely. The Global 2G & […]
Understanding Mobile Network Bandwidths: 2G to 6G A clear, engaging guide to how each generation of mobile technology transformed speed, capacity, and connectivity. Mobile networks have evolved dramatically over the past three decades. Each generation — 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and the emerging 6G — has brought a leap in bandwidth, enabling new services, new
How IoT Connectivity from M2M Data Connect Keeps Assets Running Predictive maintenance has become one of the most valuable applications of IoT. Instead of waiting for equipment to fail, organisations can detect issues early, schedule repairs proactively, and avoid costly downtime. However, predictive maintenance only works when data flows reliably — and that’s where robust
