    Mats Lundquist, CEO of Telenor Connexion and Manager of Telenor IoT, says, “The new operating model reinforces our competitive edge for the 5G era, and makes our product portfolio easier to buy for any customer searching for world class IoT operation and platform capabilities. We are also getting scale benefits on new technology investments”.
