1NCE Earns VDC Research Embeddy Award for Best of Show at Mobile World Congress 2018

NATICK, MA | March 16, 2018 – VDC Research, the leading market‑intelligence firm for connected technologies, announced that 1NCE has been named the winner of its annual Embeddy Award for Best of Show at Mobile World Congress 2018.

At MWC, 1NCE – a new entrant backed by Deutsche Telekom – unveiled a licensed‑spectrum IoT connectivity service priced at €10 for a decade of coverage, including up to 500 MB of data. This represents a dramatic price reduction compared with comparable offerings, according to Steve Hoffenberg, Director of IoT & Embedded Technology at VDC Research.

"1NCE’s solution has the potential to bring connectivity to a far broader range of IoT devices than was previously economically feasible," Hoffenberg said. "That’s why we selected 1NCE as the Embeddy Award winner for Best of Show."

Alexander Bufalino, Chief Sales Officer of 1NCE, added, "We’re proud to receive this award from VDC Research, which validates our vision of enabling billions of devices to join the Internet of Things and deliver social, business, security, and innovation value. Our disruptive offering focuses on small, low‑bandwidth devices that drive fundamental change, rather than high‑profile use cases like autonomous vehicles or remote health monitoring."

VDC Research created the Embeddy Awards to recognize companies that announce significant advances in the IoT and embedded software, hardware, and services sectors. The award is given to the most cutting‑edge product or service that offers embedded software developers and system engineers the greatest value.
