This report provides:

• recommendations for operators on strategies for building or developing solutions, on the need to build a portfolio of network technologies to cater to different needs and on working with channel partners to bring the solutions to market
• a forecast of IoT connectivity and revenue in the agricultural sector
• examples of different operator and vendor approaches.
