Building a Foundation for IoT Wholesale Ecosystems

And I have a very important role here to play, which is I am the guy that doesn't know anything.

So when we talk about CDR, isn't that, is it called detailed record? What is CDR standing for? Is that correct? Which sounds like it's already not an IoT terminology if it is called detailed records, but that's a pricing mechanism behind it all.

The information of who has done what, billable.

Is that correct?

You know what, Dario? You're very pinpointed.

See, we were showing acronyms like we know exactly what everybody knows what we're talking about.

So talking about CDRs, we're talking about call detail records, the billing records that everybody is using to be able to charge each other.

And the whole design industry at that specificity.

That is, there is a cascading of players from different origins with different supply.

And you want to make sure that each and every of them doesn't have to adapt every time they bring a new supplier when they bring a new customer.

So what we quickly realized, and this is a standard telecom model for the CDR, for the billing records, are extremely standardized for a one-off approach.

I supply you and you just consume that CDR, but there is no cascading effect.

And when it comes to IoT, the industry has a lot of, so CDR is very well formatted, very well approved for roaming, voice for SMS.

When it came to IoT or MEC wholesale, there was a very large variety.

Every region had its own specific ways of delivering data, what is important, what is not important, what is optional, what is nice to have.

And this is where the beauty of the group was really to bring all these different viewpoints, people from different industry, from different regions, And try to find what is a core, what is really fundamental pieces that we as an industry in the wholesale side should be transferring from one to another without having to wonder the origin or the background of that customer or that supplier.

So what should be shared between us that if you go to customers, you know exactly what to expect.

If you go to a new supplier, you know exactly what to expect.

And more importantly, because that's a new industry, if somebody comes from out of Start a company in the wholesale of IoT.

What can you expect from everybody without having to get knowledge of that industry? You need to be an experienced veteran.

What we really want from this work group, we want that 20 years old people with very bright ideas and disruptive ideas on how to deal with a wholesale can read these documents and can get started right away, engaging with us like We're all part of the same industry without taking them as junior or without having to teach them the way.

So it's really that core element, okay, try to bring something for everybody, anybody, wherever they come from, and whatever their backgrounds.

So then we can strive as a wholesale industry.

Sounds like an example of a Tower of Babel.

So everybody speaks the same language until they realize we're not talking the same language.
