LONDON, June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaleido Intelligence’s IoT Roaming: Market Strategies & Forecasts 2023 predicts a 16% average annual growth in wholesale IoT roaming revenues between 2023 and 2028, as shifts in the ecosystem status quo underline the importance of roaming to support international IoT connectivity requirements.

Key Points: 
  • LONDON, June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaleido Intelligence’s IoT Roaming: Market Strategies & Forecasts 2023 predicts a 16% average annual growth in wholesale IoT roaming revenues between 2023 and 2028, as shifts in the ecosystem status quo underline the importance of roaming to support international IoT connectivity requirements.
  • Combined, these factors offer a key opportunity for the industry to enhance the wholesale value proposition, although notable barriers remain in place.
  • Kaleido forecasts that growth in IoT roaming connections consuming less than 10MB per month will grow at 22% between 2023 and 2028, reaching 59% of the total IoT roaming connection base by the end of the forecast period.
  • With IoT connectivity now viewed as a commodity, pricing at both retail and wholesale level has steadily dropped over the years: Kaleido anticipates that annual wholesale revenue per connection will average at only around $8 by 2028.

Privacy trade-offs in retail tracking

Monday, October 31, 2022

The obscure nature of retail tracking technology has been somewhat controversial.

Key Points: 
  • The obscure nature of retail tracking technology has been somewhat controversial.
  • In light of the Commissions proposed settlement with Nomi and the ongoing public debate, I thought it would be worthwhile to describe how different retail tracking technologies work, and in my opinion, the specific privacy trade-offs of each approach.
  • Retail tracking generally works by monitoring individual's movements in or near locations of interest.
  • Figure 2 Example heatmap from a video based retail location system.
  • It's also worth noting that other signals, including Near Field Communication (NFC), LED, and even acoustic signals, are used by retail analytics firms use to track individuals.
  • Retail analytics firms track these signals and associated identifier(s) in order to triangulate and record the location of an individual device.
  • The Internet Engineering Task Force (an internet standards body) is also experimenting with ways to improve smartphone privacy by randomizing MAC address.
  • Some retail analytics providers, including Nomi, cryptographically hash the identifier prior to retention in an attempt to reduce some of the privacy concerns.
  • In addition, even hashed, the use of a persistent identifier presents privacy issues since tracking pattern of movement in itself is often enough to uniquely identify an individual.
  • In the case of iBeacons, consumers typically enable a feature on their phone or download an app which does the tracking.
  • (Note: in the case of active Bluetooth monitoring via iBeacons, its actually the consumers phone that tracks the retail location and sends information back to the retail provider.)
  • Finally, wireless signals are typically not constrained by store walls so visitors driving by or visiting a neighboring store will likely not be aware of the presence of retail location tracking in neighboring stores.
  • For example, AT&T and Verizon provide dashboards by which consumers can manage their privacy preferences and opt out of having their location information used for marketing purposes.
