2G & 3G Switch Off Market - Analyst Perspective:
The rapid expansion of 5G has encouraged mobile network operators (MNOs) to shut down their 2G and 3G networks and repurpose them for 5G deployments. It is strongly fueling 2G & 3G switch off market growth. Several present smart home devices, such as home security and smart meters, communicate on 2G and 3G networks. Home security systems often use a 3G backup communicator to contact a monitoring center for events such as power failure or unwarranted tampering with wires. 2G and 3G are IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices because they are more cost-effective than 4G modules. Additionally, the speed of 4G is not relevant for IoT or M2M devices that send minimal amounts of data. Cellular IoT devices are always networked, and their capability to transmit data via mobile communications stems from M2M subscriber identification module (SIM) cards that maintain a perpetual roaming state. It allows them to utilize the mobile networks of different operators and autonomously switch from one connection to another to maintain continual connectivity. Thus, the slower 2G and 3G connections are still fast enough for today’s standards. Therefore, sunsetting 2G and 3G networks results in limited connectivity options for IoT devices that depend on 2G or 3G M2M Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards.
Industrial IoT devices are expected to be affected more than residential IoT devices as the present 5G rollout and the eminent rollout of 6G in the future require the sunsetting of older technologies. Cellular connectivity plays an extensive role in industrial IoT (IIoT). Organizations require constant connections over diverse geographic areas in verticals such as agriculture, manufacturing, energy, retail, healthcare, and logistics. Cellular becomes critical when the devices are constantly mobile, fixed in remote areas, or deployed on demand. In contrast, most modern smart home devices are connected via the home Wi-Fi network. Thus, the sunsetting of 2G and 3G is anticipated to have minimal impact on smart home/connected building applications. For instance, the national rollout of smart metering in the UK strongly depends on 2G-based M2M connections. According to the statistics from the UK government, a total of 3.6 million smart meters were installed in domestic properties in 2022, an increase of 4% from 2021. Thus, 3G is being shut down (anticipated to be completed by 2025) before 2G (anticipated to be completed by 2033) in the UK, also fueling 2G & 3G switch off market growth. However, for any new device rollout globally, device manufacturers are required to take into consideration the eminent sunset of 4G soon after 2G and 3G. For instance, Sprint LTE networks were switched off on June 30, 2022.

2G & 3G Switch Off Market Overview:
There are a plethora of devices and services that rely on older-generation networks and have been impacted by the 2G/3G sunsetting. These include personal health reporting, home security, automation of industrial equipment, real-time performance, and autonomous operations. Many of the devices used in these sectors will be in service for decades. For example, many new cars manufactured in the last decade, some even recently in the year 2021, were built with connected services running on 3G. These include location data, emergency call services, Wi-Fi hotspots, remote lock/unlock functions, voice assistants, smartphone app connectivity, and even concierge services. In addition, the SOS system and roadside alerts are network-based features that can also be affected. Vehicles released before 2019 by Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and Hyundai are susceptible to this sunset.
Security systems often run over cellular networks. At the start of 2016, 3G networks became the standard communication technology used in security panels. As traditional copper landlines were being retired, there was a shift to wireless security systems that use cellular technology to transmit messages. If an installed alarm system is based on a 3G-compatible communicator, it will no longer work properly once carriers begin to sundown 3G networks, regardless of the security provider. In such cases, the cellular communicator will need to be replaced to operate on the new networks.
Several network operators across the globe have announced that they will phase out 2G and 3G by 2023, thus fueling 2G & 3G switch off market growth. For instance, in Europe, where this transition is most prominent, Orange, one of the latest operators to adopt the trend, as of August 2022, announced that legacy 2G and 3G will be gradually phased out from 2025 to 2030.
