Description

What does it take to rebuild the way mobile connectivity works for IoT? And why are operators, MVNOs, and enterprises starting to rethink how much visibility and control they should have over their networks? In this episode of The IoT Podcast, host Tom White sits down with Tim Dowling Co-Founder & COO and John Freeman - CEO at Stacuity, a company developing a fully programmable mobile core designed to give connectivity providers real-time control, flexibility, and global reach. They dig into the shift toward more programmable networks, what real-time visibility actually enables, and why permanent roaming rules, data sovereignty and regional regulations are forcing a rethink of global IoT strategies. The discussion focuses on how these changes show up in real deployments: faster troubleshooting, tighter security, smarter automation, and more flexibility for MVNOs and enterprises building connected products. If you work with IoT devices, manage connectivity, or just want a clearer view of where the industry is heading, this episode is your inside scoop!
