What this episode covers

Jason Dietrich, Chief Revenue Officer at KORE, discusses the evolution of the IoT ecosystem, emphasizing the shift from a fragmented market to one driven by standardized connectivity and managed services. He explains how KORE addresses the challenge of fragmentation by offering a 'one-stop shop' for connectivity, device lifecycle management, and application support, particularly in verticals like fleet tracking and connected health. The conversation highlights the economic viability of IoT solutions, noting that success often comes from monetizing services rather than just selling hardware, and details KORE's 'IoT for Good' initiatives that balance social impact with financial returns.

    #014: Why Your IoT Project Still Hasn’t Taken Off — And How to Fix It

    Chris Coleman and Tyler from Memfault host Afzal Saleem, an IoT entrepreneur and former T-Mobile Netherlands startup lead, to discuss why IoT projects stall despite technical viability. They analyze organizational resistance, such as the Dutch railway case where internal job security fears blocked adoption, and the '500K SIM card' phenomenon where pilots fail to scale due to slow enterprise processes. The conversation highlights how giants like Google, Ericsson, and Cisco waste millions by skipping niche validation, contrasting this with successful niche strategies from companies like Golioth and Nordic Semiconductor. They argue that IoT must learn from AI's community-driven, fast-iteration go-to-market playbook to overcome fragmentation and e-waste risks from deprecated cloud services.
