In order to prioritize efficient and faster 4G and 5G networks, mobile network operators around the world will deactivate their 2G/3G network to free up frequency bands. The specific timeline for this so called 2G/3G Sunset varies depending on country and network operator. However, it is  essential to proactively prepare for this transition.

Connected machines offer you the possibility to track and optimise your machine operations. It enables you to manage your machines remotely. Real-time tracking keeps you up to date with the activities and status of your machines, while the data and reports help you to further improve the quality of your work. The vehicle data are securely stored in the cloud-based IntelliOPS platform.

If your machines rely on 2G/3G modems, the discontinuation of 2G/3G will interrupt your machines data communications. This means that you will need to upgrade your hardware. To help you navigate through the upgrading process of your fleet, we have created a chart outlining the most common scenarios.

Most mobile network operators have already sunset 2G/3G networks or plan to do so shortly. Here is up-to-date information on what we know. We aim to maintain this list as current and accurate as possible. However, please note that operators may delay decisions and sometimes do not announce plans until three months prior to switching off.
