IoT Forum

The IoT Forum provides all industry and wider ecosystem stakeholders with market representation to accelerate the widespread adoption of 3GPP-standard 5G technologies including Massive IoT (LPWA), LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies.

In the Forum we discuss issues facing the IoT Industry and make proposals to the 5G IoT Strategy Group. Members are encouraged to participate in the Action Groups.
