Abstract [en]
Internet of Things (IoT) is anticipated as a 'game changer' for communication service providers. Numerous IoT devices will deploy in areas where humans already inhabit. It is increasing the importance of indoor area coverage to support IoT services. This again brings the historically important questions, 'what roles an actor play and who will control the indoor coverage?' In this paper, we discuss the business actors' roles in IoT indoor service context. We identify the possible roles and activities needed to provide end-to-end indoor IoT services. Additionally, we analyze the actors' roles in IoT ecosystem. We compare the actors' roles in the context of the suitable technology and deployment choices. Our identification of roles and initial analysis shows the impact of technology and rollout choices over network business strategy. With our presented analysis, we evaluate the possible paths for mobile network operators (MNOs) on low-power wide area (LPWAN) or low-power wireless local area (LPWLAN) network deployment.
