Limitless Intelligent Connectivity Connecting Every Person and Every Thing 

In honor of Mobile World Congress 2020 we will be using this space to explore the concept of Limitless Intelligent Connectivity. As we mentioned in a previous blog, over the next few days, we will focus on how Pareteum facilitates various aspects of connectivity between an enterprise and its employees, a business and its customers, and a city and its citizens.

Before we dig in, we have a few brief words about our presence at MWC20:

• If you want to schedule a meeting with us, you can do so here.
• We’ll also be hosting a cocktail and networking event following the activities of the Congress’ third day on the 26th of February 2020, from 8:00 PM to 12:30 AM. The event will be held at Arenal, which is located at Passeig Marítim Barceloneta, s/n (Barcelona) 08003. You may RSVP to that here.
• Otherwise, if you want to stop by and have a chat with us, we’ll be at booth 6E11.

The Connected Future

The arrival of 5G and Wi-Fi 6 infrastructures has caused quite a stir in the mobile world. Paired with an increasingly relaxed regulatory environment and a torrent of new, sophisticated connectivity use cases aimed at improving efficiencies in communications, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, automotive, utilities, entertainment, and more, the industry is on track for something of an innovation goldrush as we head into a new decade.

Now, before you dust off your gold pan and head out to California to stake a claim, it’s important to reign in whatever visions of grandeur might lead you astray. Indeed, as any regional network operator worth its salt can tell you, “thinking big” is not the same as “thinking smart.”

In a previous MWC-related blog, we quoted the architect Antoni Gaudi to offer a word of caution to folks looking to seize the opportunity to lead the mobile industry into a new era. “Originality,” Gaudi proffered, “Consists of returning to the origin. Thus, originality means returning, through one’s resources, to the simplicity of the early solutions.”

A perfect example of “thinking smart” and “returning to the simplicity of the early solutions” is the iPhone. Of course, while it is among the most important consumer products to hit markets in the last 20 years, Apple did not actually invent much – if anything all. Mobile phones had been around for decades, Blackberry and Palm Treo were ahead of the curve on smartphones, and the concept of a digital software distribution platform (i.e. App Store) has roots dating back to the early 1990s.

No, the true genius of the iPhone, as it had been with the iPod, was the orchestration – the harmony that Apple mustered by leveraging the most sophisticated technologies to improve upon concepts that had been underdeveloped by existing market players. Simply put, Apple did it better. The iPhone was more intuitive, more versatile, faster, prettier, and way easier to use than any of its competitors. And, indeed, it changed the mobile industry practically overnight.

To this end, it is our belief that the solutions that will lead us into a more connected future will be those that best fulfill the real needs of real people, real groups, and real businesses. Moreover, insofar as existing solutions fulfill these needs, their successors will be those products that leverage the foremost technologies of the day to do so more efficiently. Thus, it is our mission to provide innovative connectivity solutions to the most innovative network operators.
