 with third-party software applications and technologies developed by our partners and vendors, but we must also ensure that our IoT devices can interface with third-party hardware, software, or infrastructure that our customers may choose to adopt. To the extent that a third party were to develop software applications or IoT devices that compete with ours, that third party may choose not to support our solution. In particular, our ability to interface with vehicles and equipment from a variety of manufacturers or accurately anticipate evolving wireless technology standards and ensure that our IoT devices comply with these standards in relevant respects is critical to the functionality of our IoT devices. Any failure of our IoT devices to be compatible or comply with the hardware, software, or infrastructure—including wireless communications standards—utilized by our customers could prevent or delay their implementation of our Connected Operations Platform and require costly and time-consuming engineering changes. Additionally, if an insufficient number of wireless operators or subscribers adopt the standards to which we design our IoT devices, our ability to introduce and sell subscriptions to our Connected Operations Platform, or to renew existing subscriptions, would be harmed.

The competitive position of our Connected Operations Platform depends in part on its ability to operate with a wide variety of data sources and infrastructure, and if we are not successful in maintaining and expanding the compatibility of our solution with such data sources and infrastructure, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

The competitive position of our Connected Operations Platform depends in part on its ability to operate with a wide array of physical sensors and devices, including IoT devices manufactured by us and by third parties, other software and database technologies, and communications, networking, computing, and other infrastructure. As such, we must continuously modify and enhance our Connected Operations Platform to be compatible with evolving hardware, software, and infrastructure that are used by our current and potential partners, vendors, and customers. In the future, one or more technology companies may choose not to support the interoperation of their hardware, software, or infrastructure with solutions such as ours, or our solution may not otherwise support the capabilities needed to operate with such hardware, software, or infrastructure. We intend to facilitate the compatibility of our Connected Operations Platform with a wide variety of hardware, software, and infrastructure by maintaining and expanding our business and technical relationships. If we are not successful in achieving this goal, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
