Tackling data-driven urban mobility hurdles
Air - Connected Mobility wanted to enhance urban mobility amidst rising legislative pressures on road safety and carbon emissions. The company faced the task of efficiently managing real-time vehicle data to improve traffic flow, control pollution, and monitor road conditions.
Seeking a connectivity partner, Air aimed to address these challenges by harnessing actionable insights from telematics devices across various urban environments.
In pursuit of its mission to improve mobility for all by unlocking the value of data, Air turned to emnify to connect over 25,000 distributed telematics devices.
The emnify IoT SuperNetwork elevates Air's urban mobility services
Air - Connected Mobility’s shift towards comprehensive urban mobility management was supported by the emnify IoT SuperNetwork. The emnify global IoT SIMs made it possible for Air to implement a reliable, scalable system for real-time vehicle tracking and data analysis across urban areas. This meant that Air could efficiently monitor traffic, pollution, and road conditions, directly contributing to the reduction of urban environmental impacts.
The IMEI lock feature ensured that each device operated within its intended scope, safeguarding against unauthorized use and unexpected data charges. Furthermore, emnify’s global network coverage facilitated Air's expansion by providing a consistent and reliable service footprint for new and existing telematics applications.
Additionally, the SMS Console significantly reduced device downtime through swift OTA troubleshooting, ensuring operational continuity and minimizing downtime.

If a device somehow doesn’t communicate properly, we can easily send an SMS via the emnify Portal to instantly get its setting data and figure out whether there was a misconfiguration during the manufacturing process. We can also then use SMS to update the configuration or perform a device reboot remotely. It is especially helpful when time is a pressing matter.

SuperNetwork capabilities used
IMEI Lock
With IMEI lock enables businesses to lock the use of a SIM specifically to a device, indicated by its IMEI number. That way, even if an attacker has gained access to the device, there is no possibility to misuse the SIM by inserting it into another device.
Cloud-Native Portal
Single pane of glass, network-agnostic data monitoring provides granular device and network data insights to pinpoint and resolve connectivity issues and optimize your connectivity service.
IoT eSIM
The SuperNetwork IoT eSIM provides access to 540+ networks, reducing the hassle of managing multiple contracts, trying various SIMs, and the associated overhead costs of utilizing multiple operators with geographically distrubuted customers.
