      I think things like commercial and high end home automation. And security stuff. I might be mistaken tho.

      And it might sound like that’s old and out of date. But it stuck around cuz it was reliable.

      eCall, alarm systems, elevators and many types of sensors.

      2G should die though. You can use the frequencies for 4G/5G to get better reception.

      And if the thing depending on 2G has the space for it (like a car or an elevator) then the thing can be upgraded with hardware that supports 4G/5G.

      …Unless the manufacturer is a dick and wants you to buy a whole new thing. I suspect that this will happen a lot.
