Telia IoT Monitoring – simple, scalable IoT management

IoT can be complex and drain resources from what really matters: turning collected data into tangible business value, customer benefits, and societal impact. With IoT Monitoring, we've created a flexible plug-and-play offering that simplifies IoT infrastructure management – from IoT devices and reliable connectivity to a secure IoT platform built to scale. So you can focus more energy on your core business and create real value from your data.

Four key IoT needs identified across organizations

IoT Monitoring addresses four critical IoT needs and challenges facing organizations, identified through qualitative research conducted by Telia in partnership with Arthur D. Little.

Four challenges where organizations often get stuck in their IoT initiatives

Challenge 1: Technology takes over focus

Managing hardware, connectivity, and IoT data collection can easily consume time and resources that could be spent creating business value from collected data. The report highlights a need for organizations to outsource the technical IoT infrastructure so they can focus on their core business and the outcomes they want from digitalization.

Challenge 2: Making complexity simple

IoT environments can become extensive, especially when scaling from testing to full deployment. Organizations need a platform that not only ensures connectivity but also manages IoT devices according to regulatory requirements and standards. The platform must also ensure that data collection and structuring to the IoT platform happens in a way that's easy to integrate into internal systems or third-party applications via APIs.

Need 3: Breaking down data silos with a flexible and scalable delivery platform

Organizations often get trapped in data silos and locked-in platforms that hinder development. Businesses need a secure, modular, and open IoT platform that enables flexibility and scalability. A platform where all data can be collected, shared, and used centrally, without risk of vendor lock-in, but with full potential to grow.

Need 4: Security as standard – at every level

Cybersecurity threats are growing. In a connected environment, isolated security measures aren't enough. Security must be built into every layer – from IoT devices and sensors, through IoT connectivity, to the platform and APIs. Only then can you achieve a truly secure IoT delivery.

IoT Monitoring simplifies IoT complexity

IoT Monitoring was developed with these needs in mind and provides an ideal foundation for your IoT deployment. The service enables monitoring of your data and devices to ensure the highest possible data quality. Telia handles the enablers: hardware, connectivity through NB-IoT over Telia's nationwide network, and data management, so you can collect data even from hard-to-reach locations.

Because we control the underlying mobile network, we can guarantee the reliability and security your business-critical IoT requires. This makes it easy to get started and frees up resources to focus on your core business and build value on top of the insights. With IoT Monitoring, we offer a packaged yet flexible platform that lets you scale at your own pace, from individual devices to data collected across an entire city.

Data delivery on Telia's IoT Platform and APIs to your systems

We deliver IoT Monitoring on Telia's powerful and secure IoT platform. The platform is intuitive and makes it easy to start building IoT applications through low-code or no-code development, eliminating complex programming. The platform is flexible enough to scale up and grow at your own pace, from simple data collection to AI analysis, or by increasing the number of connected devices. This optimizes both workflows and capabilities.
