today announced that it launches 4G/LTE connectivity for Machine-to-Machine
(M2M)/Internet of Things (IoT) implementations.
Rami Avidan, Commercial Director at Tele2 M2M Global Solutions, comments: “This
is further proof of Tele2 challenging and pushing the M2M/IoT game to new
levels. As far as I know, Tele2 is the second operator in the world to publicly
