Enterprise Network Operator (ENO)
The boom in enterprise IoT deployments and the trend towards private cellular enterprise networks has created a need for a new class of IoT connectivity service provider – one which puts the ownership of the IoT network into the hands of the enterprise. One of the biggest barriers to the deployment of enterprise IoT solutions until now has been the lack of control and visibility enterprises have over the IoT network, and the need for CSPs to respond to their more complex requirements when deploying IoT solutions. An Enterprise Network Operator (ENO) is solely focused on providing IoT connectivity to enterprises and giving them ownership of that connectivity, from the SIM card right through to a private cellular network. By operating its own core network and enabling seamless connectivity over private as well as public spectrum, an ENO offers those enterprises that do not have the in-house capabilities to build, manage, and run their own network the means and infrastructure to do so as a managed service (Network as a service – NaaS). The benefits for enterprises of owning the network are obvious. Greater visibility of the status of their connected devices, more flexibility and control over the network configuration, QoS and security policies of their IoT network, and the ability to quickly scale globally and reduce connectivity costs to name a few. Pod Group has launched the world’s first ENO, based on over 20 years’ experience of enabling global enterprise IoT connectivity across a broad range of sectors.

MMD Smart
MMD Smart have been at the forefront of new business models in the world of business messaging for some time. They were the first company I am aware of to approach enterprises with a success based fee approach. E.g. if MMD Smart can convince a customer of a brand who has not shopped with them for more than 6 months to purchase above $X of goods within Y timeframe, then MMD collect a percentage of the revenue from the brand. So no longer just a price per SMS, per RCS session, per Voice minute etc. Success based.
