1. Energy consumption based on real-time

2. Road-side parking availability status. Hard to
enforce and track
3. Static signs can’t help in traffic management
1. High operating cost due to make frequent
rounds to avoid over-fills
2. Fixed routes instead of use based routes
3. Bad user experience due to over-fill
1. Critical asset failure could lead to shutdowns
causing operation losses
2. Low performance of bottleneck resource slows
down production causing delays
3. Equipment failure cause workplace accidents

Appendix 2: Bell’s virtuous cycle driving competitive position
to deliver IoT solutions
April 4, 2017Nikhil Mittal 11
Bell’s scale allows it to partner with industry
leaders like Cisco, IBM, Microsoft and select
best hardware option to deliver a solution in
cost effective manner.
Competitive advantage over smaller players like
Shaw Communication, Sierra wireless
Bell’s existing market penetration with
government, and businesses though Bell Business
Markets makes it feasible to sell IoT solutions.
Competitive advantage over technology players like
Cisco, IBM, Microsoft and other telecom players
like Rogers and Telus.
Bell’s internal capabilities enables it provide
customized solutions for its user. Bringing
different components on single pane on glass is
key value driver.
Competitive advantage over technology players like
Cisco, IBM, Microsoft
Bell’s breadth of solutions makes it possible to
cross-sell multiple services to same customers.
To deliver an end-to-end value, customer’s
customer could be targeted as well.
Competitive advantage over technology players
like Cisco, IBM, Microsoft and smaller telecom
