IoT connectivity in Germany

Germany is Europe's largest industrial IoT market: three national operators (Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Telefónica O2), near-nationwide 4G coverage, accelerating 5G rollout, and mature NB-IoT/LTE-M. 3G shut down by all operators in 2021 — legacy 3G-only devices no longer work.

Accessible operators

  • Deutsche Telekom
  • Vodafone
  • Telefónica O2

Available technologies

2G4G5GLTE-MNB-IoT

Typical use cases

  • Industry 4.0 and connected machinery
  • Logistics and intra-EU supply chains
  • Electric and gas smart metering
  • Mobility and EV charging
  • Smart cities and connected buildings

Caveats and regulatory considerations

  • 3G shut down by all operators since 2021 — 3G-only devices are useless
  • 2G expected until late decade, but new deployments should target LTE-M
  • BNetzA does not restrict permanent IoT roaming
