The choice of connectivity for deploying an IoT project can affect range, reliability and eventually how your solution performs. It can also affect device battery performance as data transfer speed fluctuates. Given that there are a number of IoT connectivity options available for IoT device deployments but cellular IoT is becoming increasingly popular simply because of the secure and scalable device connections. Essentially there are two different groups that are available in cellular IoT connectivity namely, High data rate cellular and low data rate cellular. The high data rate cellular uses generations of 3GPP mobile networks whereas the lower data rate uses Low Power Wide Area Network, c ommonly known as LPWAN. High data rate cellular is known to offer very comprehensive coverage which makes it the perfect choice for cellular IoT use-case which requires higher data transfers between devices and the cloud such as real-time video. For instance, if public transport nee...
If you are from M2M or IoT industry, you would definitely understand the challenges associated with efficient connectivity management. Keeping track of subscription rates, SIM usage, countries, etc and at the same time watching data consumption to keep costs low, is a tricky task. Now imagine doing it on a much larger scale, you would definitely struggle to keep track of everything. This is precisely what an IoT connectivity management platform will simplify for you. While we are trying to simplify the connectivity management platform, it’s a platform that facilitates the management of eSIMs and provides you with an overview of their connections and enables you to control the eSIMs to manage M2M and IoT deployments. There are several platform providers in the market designed to provide IoT deployments overview but they might not be designed with the right goal of scalability which could cause some problems down the road. Besides, some older...
