NorthLadder expands into Europe, set to transform telco trade-in programs with innovative technology in 2025 NorthLadder, a rising star in trade-in technology, has announced its expansion into the European market.  With a proven track record of success in the Middle East, NorthLadder is poised to transform the telco trade-in landscape, aiming to raise attach rates from the current <5% to over 25%. What sets NorthLadder apart is its cutting-edge platform that connects telecom operators with multiple last-mile buyers, ensuring higher trade-in values and streamlined operations. This approach enhances residual device value, encouraging consumers to trade in their devices more readily. To solidify its presence in Europe, NorthLadder recently acquired Renewd®, a Dutch reseller of certified pre-owned devices.

🚀 According to the GSMA Intelligence report, eSIM technology is making notable strides in the industry. As of 2023, over 260 mobile network operators (MNOs and MVNOs) globally offer commercial eSIM services for smartphones. This widespread adoption by operators indicates strong industry support and readiness. 📲 The GSMA Intelligence report forecasts a dramatic increase in eSIM-enabled devices and connections. By 2025, there are expected to be around 850 million eSIM smartphone connections globally. This number is projected to skyrocket to 6.7 billion by 2030, representing 76% of total smartphone connections. Such growth will likely be driven by increasing consumer awareness, advancements in device compatibility, and enhanced carrier support. 🛍️ The report also sheds light on consumer behaviour towards eSIM technology. It highlights that while many consumers are not yet familiar with eSIM, those who are aware show significant interest in its benefits. Key attractions include the ease of switching carriers, the ability to manage multiple profiles, and the potential for enhanced security. 📞 Vendors and carriers are expected to play a crucial role in educating consumers and simplifying the transition process. Initiatives such as providing more information at the point of sale, offering easy activation processes, and demonstrating the tangible benefits of eSIM can help accelerate adoption. 🌟 eSIM technology is poised to revolutionize mobile connectivity, offering unparalleled convenience and flexibility. By 2030, eSIM is expected to dominate the mobile connectivity landscape, making it a key area for both consumers and industry stakeholders to watch.

TADSummit Podcast 71: Truth in Telecoms, Johnny Loves The New #MEF and #GMoney The byline for this podcast is: Mike Sievert we need you! T-Mobile is the most customer focused carrier, and can meaningfully differentiate from Verizon and AT&T by lowering SMS spam, robocalling, and fraud by bringing what the messaging monopolies offer in-house. Yes you can! https://lnkd.in/en6ArNJZ * Giovanni Tarone loves the New Mobile Ecosystem Forum under Robert Gerstmann (#GMoney) as they seem to be ignoring The Campaign Registry. * I do not as their policy of 'ignore and not engage' with our research is not good for the industry, its bad form, it's a classic behavior of an #oldboys network. * Just a reminder: 19.2B spam SMS in April 2024 (source RoboKiller), 4.3B robocalls in March 2024 (source YouMail). Juniper Research estimate robocalling fraud will cost $71B in 2024. The #PSTN is a mess, the messaging monopolies are not working for consumers, rather themselves. https://lnkd.in/eyR_iY3G * Change is only going to come from the carriers, the messaging monopolies want things to continue, the politically appointed FCC is limited by partisan 4 year terms and distracted on AI. The only entity that can be customer focused in the long term are the carriers, and TMO-US could lead the charge for its customers and own benefit on spam, robocalling, and fraud. * We also review Twilio's continued struggles as the dominant aggregator in the US, with increased competition, unresponsive stock, and an undifferentiated #AI vision given the latest Telnyx AI and Connectivity vision. https://lnkd.in/e4FSQetT * Johnny wants to be 7ft tall (its a conversation around GAAP) Infobip, GSMA, netnumber , Aegis Mobile, WMC Global, Vonage, iconectiv, GMS, Tata Communications, Sinch, CTIA, Kaleyra, Cloud Communications Alliance, #PSTN, SignalWire, Von Coalition, TADHack, Mitto, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission, YouMail Inc., YouMail Protective Services

I recently joined Joe Barrett from the GSA and Justin Springham from Mobile World Live, to discuss how the convergence of AI and 5G-Advanced (5.5G) is set to revolutionise mobile networks. Key takeaways from the discussion: AI-powered optimisation: We explore how AI can enhance network efficiency, performance, and adaptability by automating tasks, optimising resource allocation, and predicting potential issues. The potential of RedCap: We delve into the exciting possibilities of RedCap (Reduced Capability), a 5G feature designed to support mid-tier use cases like industrial sensors and wearables, opening up new opportunities for innovation. FWA momentum: We discuss the continued growth and potential of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) as a viable alternative to traditional fixed-line broadband, particularly in underserved areas. Watch the full discussion to gain valuable insights into the future of mobile networks: https://lnkd.in/gETCF2cv #AI #5GAdvanced #5G #RedCap #FWA #MobileNetworks #Innovation #Telecoms
