About the GLF's Work in IoT

The GLF Tomorrow’s Telco framework explains how going forward, networks will need to ensure high capacity, low latency, secure, trusted and on-demand connectivity between geographically agnostic endpoints. Increasingly, these end-points of the network will not be hand-held consumer devices but rather machines – after significant anticipation, the internet of things will finally scale.

The GLF's IoT Code of Conduct

The GLF Code of Conduct was developed to address the lack of technical and commercial standards for separating IoT traffic by quality of service across borders. This gap limits enterprises' ability to offer certain IoT applications, like autonomous vehicles, that require low latency. Other high-demand use cases, including healthcare, industrial, and gaming, also need reliable, low-latency connectivity.

After 18 months of collaboration, the GLF working group concluded that geographically distributed peering between IPX carriers will ensure the necessary quality of service. The Code aims to ensure global coverage for critical IoT, enable data sharing for better service, promote end-to-end QoS, and support local data requirements.

Critical IoT Proof of Concept

Separating IoT traffic from non-IoT traffic is expected to improve network quality by enabling optimised routing, reducing delays, and minimising points of failure, thereby enhancing the customer experience. Standardising international IoT traffic management will also reduce connectivity costs by removing the need for bespoke agreements.

In May 2022, the Board agreed to launch a proof of concept (PoC) to demonstrate the technical and commercial potential of IoT traffic separation. Four carriers are currently working on this PoC.
