IoT beyond 3G

UK operators are starting the 3G switch-off as early as 2023, to allocate more spectrum to faster 4G and 5G networks.

BT is leading the way with connectivity options that are ideal replacements for 3G - with the expert support to accelerate digital transformation success.

3G is used by millions of older IoT devices that may need a new SIM - or replacing altogether.

With such potentially big changes afoot, BT is leading the way to a more efficient, flexible IoT future, made possible with newer, faster, and low power network technologies with a planned nationwide Narrow Band - IoT rollout from 2023.
 

So why not move to the UK’s biggest and best network while upgrading your IoT estate?

The UK’s best and fastest network

RootMetrics has judged EE the UK’s fastest network - nine years in a row. More than 50% of the UK’s population is already covered by 5G with EE. And we’re helping more businesses every month to enjoy faster success through IoT with our award-winning mobile network.
