Here’s a summary of ways to future-proof IoT connectivity :
Using an e.g. LTE-M modem with LTE cat. 1 bis would give your device two low-power IoT connectivity options where one is a backup for when the other isn’t available.
NB-IoT and LTE-M use very little power. Verge’s no-code cloud connectors also save power by stripping away unnecessary data wrapped around payloads.
Reduce the need for updates by not adding extra logic to SIM cards and by putting IoT Cloud service SDKs in the network rather than on devices.
Custom code isn’t GSMA compliant, so SIMs may not work on some devices. Proprietary functionality also locks businesses into using one SIM operator unless they physically swap SIMs.
Reduce the need for updates by not adding extra logic to SIM cards and by putting IoT Cloud service SDKs in the network rather than on devices.
Negotiate with carriers to keep the IMSI, Ki, and OPC keys as your property. This can make it possible to change operators on SIMs over the air with an SMS.
It’s common practice for operators to prioritise cheaper networks using Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) lists on SIMs. By not adding an operator-defined PLMN list, users have the freedom to define their own lists or simply let the device choose which network to connect to based on signal strength.
Thinking globally from the start helps you avoid roadblocks down the road and reduces forecasting complexity. Onomondo is the only network with full core integration to over 700 networks worldwide.
Save time by not having to manage subscriptions, don’t pay for data that you are not using, and make sure you have full network flexibility.
VERGE’s tech stack lets you control everything via our API and Platform. We then give all of the information we have to our users, so they can, for example, do over-the-air network list and PLMN list updates, check connection logs, and access live data packet monitoring to debug connectivity in real-time.
