We understand that when customers are looking at introducing IoT to their business, most require a supplier that:

  • has a high-level of expertise and understanding,
  • can provide a range of proven solutions that meet your needs,
  • comes with a brand you can trust and rely on to deliver results because it’s a global leader.

We’re pleased Gartner has named Vodafone as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Managed IoT Connectivity Services, Worldwide. We have been positioned highest for Ability to Execute and furthest on Completeness of Vision axis.

And if you want to be sure what Gartner means when it identifies Vodafone is a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed IoT Connectivity Services, Worldwide, Gartner says “Leaders invest in the future of IoT that includes a continuum of value from IoT edge devices to IoT platforms and related analytics. Leaders perform skilfully and often exceed expectations. Leaders have a clear vision of the market’s direction and develop competencies to maintain their leadership. Leaders engage customers and provide value across multiple geographies. They shape the market, rather than follow it, and they often set the benchmark for market growth. Leaders have the size and scale (for example, operations, sales and marketing, formal bid, and product management) to pursue large pan-regional and multinational opportunities for IoT connectivity. They have established a robust and diverse ecosystem of technology alliances and service delivery partnerships spanning IT, OT and IoT to meet broad market requirements.”

We are also recognised by customers as a Customers’ Choice in the July 2022 Gartner® Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer”: Managed IoT Connectivity Services, Worldwide.
