This report is available to those subscribed to the IoT & Enterprise module.
The last 18 months have seen several notable acquisition and divestment announcements in the IoT ecosystem. Google Cloud IoT Core announced its shutdown, Ericsson revealed the sale of its IoT business unit to Aeris Communications, Semtech acquired Sierra Wireless, Kore bought Twilio’s IoT unit, UnaBiz bought Sigfox, and Thales’ IoT unit was sold to Telit.
