The UK’s transport sector employs a limited amount of cellular internet of things module technology. Reliance on this technology across the various transport modes is low. The Department encourages the transport sector to follow Government Security Group, National Cyber Security Centre and National Protective Security Authority supply chain guidance when selecting a technology supplier.
