Analysys Mason conducted the research on behalf of GSMA to compel operators to deploy 3G embedded technology and reap the benefits of Mobile Broadband services.

Embedded mobile technology is being deployed across a range of key vertical industries including healthcare, automotive, utilities and consumer electronics. The value that these embedded services and devices deliver will be vastly enhanced through the superior data processing capabilities and bandwidth offered by 3G Mobile Broadband mobile network infrastructure.

Approximately 90% of wireless modules being deployed today use 2G technology, but GSMA argues there are reasons to replace them with 3G-based modules. Among the reasons quoted, we find the ability to maximize flexibility when it comes to longer-term network strategy, minimize the costs associated with replacing legacy 2G embedded devices, and ensure the carriers are better equipped to meet future embedded mobile demand.
