The IoT industry is at a turning point.

Fragmentation has exposed deep cracks in connectivity models, while 5G promises speeds that legacy frameworks simply can't handle. However, a solution may lie in rethinking how IoT connections work.

In this episode, Lee Walkey, a seasoned IoT expert, joins Nick Earle to explore the roadblocks and realities of building scalable IoT networks. They discuss:

• Why traditional roaming can't support global IoT deployments
• How commercial incentives and outdated models hold back progress
• The need for a federated approach to achieve out-of-the-box IoT connectivity

Nick and Lee reveal how an airline-style federation of operators, combined with SaaS-based platforms, offers a way forward. They also explore how this shift could change the IoT sector as 5G expands.

Tune in to learn why it's time to move beyond roaming, rethink connectivity, and build the future of IoT.

When transporting refrigerated goods across South America, it is essential to have a reliable cold chain management solution.

In Brazil, where 30% of transported cargo requires precise temperature control, a single point of failure can result in losses worth millions.

Neokohm CTO Luis Lorenzi joins this Portuguese podcast special to explain how his company revolutionized cold chain monitoring with IoT technology, including:

• How they automated temperature control to eliminate driver responsibility
• Why multi-carrier connectivity proved crucial for cross-border operations
• How their system monitors refrigeration units across Brazil's challenging terrain
• What the future holds for cold chain monitoring with AI integration

Tune in to discover how Neokohm and Eseye partnered to create seamless connectivity solutions that work across nine South American countries—even in remote regions where trucks transfer cargo to river barges—without changing SIM cards.

Global IoT connectivity stands at a transformative crossroads. The traditional model of operator-specific SIMs and roaming agreements no longer meets the demands of modern IoT deployments. A new paradigm is emerging, driven by the need for true global connectivity and localization.

Mike Van Horn, AT&T’s Area Vice President, Product Development & Management, Internet of Things, joins the podcast to discuss how eSIM orchestration and federated localization are reshaping IoT connectivity. Mike explores the evolution from traditional roaming to automated eSIM management, the importance of device expertise, and why localization matters more than ever. The conversation delves into key topics, including:

• How eSIM orchestration enables global deployments
• What AT&T and Eseye’s announcement at MWC25 means
• The purpose and benefits of AT&T’s Global SIM Advanced solution
• Why device optimization remains critical

This episode examines the future of IoT connectivity and how eSIM orchestration and embedded advanced automation rules will drive the next wave of IoT connectivity innovation. Tune in to understand the technology transforming global IoT deployments.
