3 questions for your connectivity provider
When you start an IoT project, your first talk with a connectivity provider sets the tone for everything that follows. In this piece, Jacob Jagger, head of information security at Onomondo, frames that conversation around a small set of focused questions for the supplier. The goal is to expose how they handle connectivity, security, and device management in practice, not just in sales material.
Drawing on themes from Onomondo’s asset tracking work, Jagger urges buyers to press providers on how they secure connections at scale, what level of visibility and control they offer on individual devices, and how they support long-term operation in the field. The article treats connectivity not as a commodity line item, but as a core design choice that can either simplify the project over its lifetime or turn into a recurring source of cost and risk.
