The major driver for OTN is the increasing demand for bandwidth from residential and business customers. Residential internet use is rising for a variety of reasons: growing demand for cloud storage of personal information, online gaming, online shopping, staying connected over long distances, social media, video chatting and more. All of these applications require communications and network service providers to deliver more capacity on their networks. Click here to download.

Managing the communication needs of IoT devices is a work in progress. There are a number of short-range and long-range wireless network protocols — Bluetooth, BLE, Zigbee and LoRaWAN, to name a few—that have their place but also have limitations, especially when it comes to massive IoT support and long-range, mobile use cases. On the other hand, cellular networks are striving to evolve next-generation networks that provide the infrastructure to support higher bandwidth and lower latency. This will make them best suited for mission-critical, data-intensive and time-sensitive applications but inefficient for massive IoT applications that require lower bandwidths, lower data rates and reduced transmit power.
