M2M communications allow IoT solutions, both wired and wireless, to seamlessly connect. M2M is typically characterised by process specific sensors that gather site-specific data, which is fed directly into cloud-based or on-premise servers that then share this information to applications such as user-interface dashboards on other devices in the network such as smart phones, tablets and PCs.
Why use M2M connectivity?
- Allow your IoT widgets to seamlessly connect to the public internet providing access to M2M data, voice and SMS
- Ensure the simplest and most capable ‘out-of-the-box’ deployments for your ‘plug-and-play’ devices or complex system integrations to meet your specific use case technical requirements
- Enhance your ability to manage and control your devices once out in the field using your IoT Connectivity Management platform (included) or any range of custom IoT management platforms provided by us or with your own subscription
- Seamlessly integrate with your existing cloud computing and on-premises networks to achieve fully automated business processes, data analytics and visual dashboards using a range of ready-to-go API connectors
What types of businesses can benefit the most from M2M?
- Service providers that rely on data from a wide range of sensors or smart devices to digitally automate their business processes including but not limited to data transactions, status monitoring, event triggering, performance measurement etc.
- Manufacturers that are creating new or upgrading existing technologies (such as analog RF) to digital systems that perform two-way communications with a cloud or on-premises server to deliver an overall solution or generate value for the end-user of a specific node, device or widget.
- Systems integrators that take existing devices available on the market but do not include connectivity such as CPE, commercial, residential and industrial sensors and smart devices. Examples can include SIMs used in IoT solutions that can be configured to operate via the public internet.
- Tech start-ups that are in the pilot or ramp-up phase of their go-to-market strategy and need to keep operational costs to a minimum and maximise their invested capital for more important development needs.
How do I order M2M SIMs?
Step 1. Leave your details to help us reach out to you, understand your business requirement and set you up with a test kit (if you need one).
Step 2. (Optional) Sign-up a test kit that provides you with 3 IoT SIMs and 30Mb of data to test your solution and deploy your pilot phase here.
Step 3. Customise your SIMs to your specific needs. We have access to all the common SIM types from nano-SIMs to solderable SIMs with varying lead times.
Step 4. Order placement that includes any IoT specialist support needed to prepare and plan for your IoT ramp-up and us to know when to fulfil your order.
