Connectivity
Cellular networks are foundational to our globally connected world.
According to GSMA, as of Q1 2023 there are over 5.5 billion unique subscribers to cellular networks and over 11.5 billion mobile connections for consumer and IoT devices.
And with the advent of 5G, the vast mobile ecosystem is poised for rapid expansion to support new connectivity use-cases across consumer, IoT and M2M markets.
This means the need for truly trusted, reliable and secure mobile connectivity has never been higher.
