“As always-on connectivity proliferates from mobile to the IoT, including M2M applications, there is an increasing demand for fully integrated, turnkey systems that can effectively connect everyone and everything, all the time,” said Carlos Bori, vice president of sales and marketing for Skyworks. “We’re excited to leverage our scale and technology leadership in mobile to accelerate the adoption of high speed cellular functionality in a growing number of new and innovative markets that depend on seamless wireless connectivity.”
According to a recent Cisco VNI report, M2M will be one of the fastest growing mobile connection vehicles as global IoT applications continue to gain traction in consumer and business environments. Cisco forecasts that globally, M2M connections will grow from 780 million in 2016 to 3.3 billion by 2021, at a compounded annual growth rate of 34 percent. Further, M2M mobile connections will exceed a quarter of total devices and connections by 2021, as devices evolve from 2G to 3G, 4G and higher technologies.
