01

Maturing, scaling IoT businesses are exposing the limits in traditional IoT connectivity

As the IoT industry matures, a gap has grown between the needs of IoT businesses and traditional telecom provider connectivity capabilities.

emnify-drone

IoT businesses have outgrown the traditional telecom connectivity infrastructure. Most businesses are now juggling 5-10 telecom providers to get the coverage they need in the markets where their devices are deployed. In many cases they’re relying on single providers in each market, leaving their businesses vulnerable to network outages without redundancy.


And despite the fact that 90% of all IoT applications are built on cloud-native services, most telecom providers aren’t cloud-native, or cloud-enabled. Traditional telecom relies on an infrastructure that was built for voice, not IoT, and requires manual processes for everything from contract management, to provisioning, to technical integrations and support.

Constantly Changing Coverage Map and Cellular Technology

IoT businesses have to manage multiple networks, multiple operator contracts, and multiple SIMs to access coverage where and when it's needed, and a lot of this is still done manually, whichslows down time-to-market.

Evolving Regulatory Requirements in Existing and New Markets

It is difficult to keep up with rapidly changing regulatory and business requirements. Traditional MNOs are finding it challenging to adapt their infrastructure and service quickly enough to keep up. eSIM orchestration via MVNOs only solves part of the problem in providing multi-network coverage, but this approach leads to inconsistent capabilities across your connectivity.

Managing Devices, Data and SIMs at Scale

As an IoT business grows in number of devices and geographic footprint, operations teams are constantly in and out of different platforms and services trying to manage and control connectivity and SIM lifecycle. Gaining visibility across multiple networks is difficult, especially when it comes to troubleshooting and resolving connectivity disruptions.

Traditional Telco Technology Stacks are Not Compatible with Modern Cloud Technology

Resource constrained IoT businesses are struggling with the number of integrations necessary to build an end-to-end IoT solution with critical data flowing up and down the tech stack. With each network that's added, another manual integration is needed. Just finding the dev talent to manage these integrations is a challenge, not to mention maintaining multiple code bases, versioning, security, and more.

iot-network-security

Network Security Threats and IoT Data Theft

IoT devices are vulnerable to a variety of cyber attacks with new threats arising daily. Visibility and control across networks diminishes with every new network added. Traditional telcos aren’t able to keep up with demand and services; setting up IPSec and VPN connections can take months and adding dedicated hardware for network security is expensive.

The SuperNetwork is the future of IoT connectivity

The highest customer satisfaction ratings and reviews, setting a new bar for the industry.

The SuperNetwork is the largest IoT-specific global network with the highest number of IoT-specific negotiated agreements. This ensures more reliable and sustainable connectivity, as well as anticipating future connectivity and business needs.

The SuperNetwork's cloud-native mobile core provides a consistent set of capabilities, regardless of where your device is deployed or what network provider you’re connecting to. Interfacing with one unified network, one core network, and one provider is a leap forward in reducing complexity in managing your connectivity, from contracts to SIM lifecycle management to security and integrations.

The SuperNetwork provides a single, distributed network with regional breakouts around the globe

IoT Outcome

Reliable, redundant coverage where you need it today and where you'll grow tomorrow.

Challenge

IoT connectivity overlays a constantly changing coverage map with a dynamic and complex technology landscape. IoT businesses have to manage multiple networks, multiple operator contracts, and multiple SIMs to access coverage where and when it's needed. Time to market is bogged down by slow manual processes.

SuperNetwork Approach

Direct network access with regional breakouts around the globe.

Unlike network resellers or lite MVNOs with access that can disappear without notice, emnify negotiates directly with our partner network, ensuring long- term, reliable access to their networks, specifically for IoT connectivity. This direct access is more reliable and also guarantees visibility directly into our partner networks providing connectivity data to our customers, across all networks, in real-time.

With a growing list of partnerships, on average 2 added each month, you can quickly expand to new markets as your business grows.

  • 540+ networks in 180+ countries, new countries added continuously
  • On average 2 new networks are added to the SuperNetwork every month
  • 100+ permanent roaming allowances protecting customers from regulatory changes
  • Average 2 to 3 networks in every country we operate

Direct partnerships provide IoT specific coverage with redundancy and network resiliency, so your devices stay connected. SuperNetwork platform customers take advantage of the greatest coverage and industry leading uptime with network redundancy in every region. Connectivity issues are surfaced across all networks in real-time so devices can intelligently switch to a backup network and you have transparency into all network events.

Consistent, full-featured connectivity management across all networks and devices

IoT Outcome

Reduce IoT operations cost and complexity with single-provider IoT connectivity management.

Challenge

Today's IoT businesses have to deal with a fragmented set of providers, platforms, portals, features, and processes which results in inconsistent capabilities for connectivity management and device deployments. Making updates to coverage or SIMs results in slow manual processes with deployments often taking several weeks. This can lead to unexpected costs.

SuperNetwork Approach

A consistent set of connectivity management capabilities across all networks, with automated SIM lifecycle management including global provisioning, activation, configuration and deactivation of SIMs. Reliable over-the-air updates enable access to new coverage options and network technologies as they become available, future-proofing deployments. An intuitive, modern, cloud-native portal provides single-pane-of-glass management over connectivity tasks and tracking.

Optimize IoT connectivity with detailed, cross-network insights

IoT Outcome

Real-time device and connectivity insights across all networks increases device uptime, security, and data integrity.

Challenge

Collecting, aggregating and analyzing network data across multiple networks can be impossible if you’re relying on multiple network providers across your deployment. But without visibility into all of your data how can you prevent or resolve connectivity and device issues?

SuperNetwork Approach

Direct access to networks enables network event data across ALL networks, with single-pane-ofglass monitoring and insights. Eliminate blind-spots with total visibility over your network performance, regardless of which carrier your device happens to be connected to. This helps alert, pinpoint and resolve connectivity issues and reduce disruption to your IoT business.

Protect IoT data and devices with advanced, end-to-end security

IoT Outcome

Increase the level of protection on your data and your devices, lowering costs, increasing IoT device uptime, and complying with the organizations' network security policies.

Challenge

IoT devices are vulnerable to a variety of cyber attacks and security breaches with new threats arising daily; it's no longer an option to have vulnerable devices. Today's workarounds provide little visibility or control over the device, SIM, and data. Existing solutions are costly and complex, for example, adding security capabilities to the device is impractical requiring more data and processing resources which drain battery life.

SuperNetwork Approach

Built-in, reliable and comprehensive security for IoT devices and data, increases the level of protection of your IoT data transmissions and SIMs, guards against security threats, and prevents costly data theft.
