Telia has been named one of the ten world-leading communication service providers when it comes to Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities and strategies, by leading research firm Transforma Insights. Transforma Insights focuses on the development and application of digital transformation technologies, and was founded by renowned technology industry analysts Matt Hatton and Jim Morrish. In its annual CSP IoT Peer Benchmarking Report, the firm analyses the strategies and capabilities of ten chosen leading providers of global IoT connectivity. The report then serves as both a benchmarking report for the industry and as a guide for enterprises that are sourcing IoT suppliers. Telia was selected together with, among others, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefónica. The selection of ten operators is based on "an analysis of dozens of operators in terms of scale and globalization of offering."
