Vic Bozzo, CEO of Pareteum commented, “The market is expanding for IoT and the most important aspect for the service providers is to be able to offer the service plans the customers want and let the market drive the requirement as opposed to that being driven by the limitations of the network billing systems. We are proud of our sales team for this latest win and we see the IoT and smart metering market as a robust growth area for us moving forward.”

Data is the key to all value in the future.
