Simplifying the complicated IoT connectivity management platform ecosystem

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 platforms that have been customized to meet the demands of today may come with legacy issues and some other system layers and hard-to-navigate issues. 

 
 

Telecom Vendors 

There are many big enterprises that often-used carriers for their network infrastructure. It might sound like a logical choice to use the same telecom vendor’s CMP that you are getting the rest of the things from and these platforms count millions of IoT connections. 

However, the price and complexity to set it up with your systems is a high downside with big enterprise vendors. There is less room for changes in their existing environment to meet the needs of your business and this could cause many problems down the road. Now a days flexibility to adapt changes are vital for any scalable IoT connectivity platform. 

The pricing models for carriers are a major barrier of entry for any smaller MNOs and other MVNOs to be able to use these systems. Plus, the non-flexible rigid pricing models are far from flexibility for creating innovative pricing models for smaller IoT customers. 

These are complex platforms to understand even for industry experts and require training to understand and are less flexible to accommodate every use case. 

The demand for a simpler, easy-to-setup, flexible and scalable should be the major goals behind every connectivity management solution or platform provider. Airlinq has emerged as one of the leaders in this space with the same goals to offer one pane of management tools to propagate innovation and has clients using their platform seamlessly in varying industries shows their platform’s flexibility and scalability.
