Getting a device connected is easy. Building millions of connected devices that work reliably across the globe is not.

Building and scaling a secure, reliable, and cost-efficient IoT connectivity stack remains one of the biggest challenges for IoT builders. At the same time, successful IoT solutions require more than cellular connectivity alone. They combine terrestrial and satellite connectivity with embedded connectivity, precise positioning, and modular services to simplify global deployments and operations.

In this keynote, Christian Schwalbe, CEO of Deutsche Telekom IoT, explores why connectivity remains the foundation of every successful IoT solution and how a Beyond Connectivity approach helps developers and enterprises build, deploy, and scale connected products with confidence.
