IoT network technologies are continually evolving, and that makes the already complex world of connectivity even more challenging to manage. While many businesses choose cellular connectivity to power their IoT solutions, even this narrow focus brings complexities around choosing the right technology and connectivity provider.
One of the most notable ways to ensure successful IoT deployments is to work with an independent partner that can support multi-carrier connectivity. While it might seem logical to work directly with a single carrier, the disadvantages of doing so often outweigh any benefits of that direct relationship. Multi-carrier connectivity from an independent partner helps ensure that IoT solutions have the coverage, scalability, and support they need to succeed.
Multi-carrier connectivity ensures a robust cellular connection no matter where IoT devices are located, without being locked into a single carrier’s roaming coverage. Multiple in-country offerings from an independent, carrier-agnostic partner enable broader coverage, technology, and device selection than any single, independent global provider. KORE has strategic relationships with more than 24 global carriers, covering 190 countries.
When a company works with a single carrier, they are locked into their price points, UI, APIs, and management platform. Adding a secondary carrier means increasing the cost and complexity of IoT connectivity. Multi-carrier connectivity gives businesses the coverage they need without the overhead they don’t, making IoT solutions scalable and cost-efficient.
When working with independent providers, businesses get a single contract and a single point of contact for service. From a technical perspective, there is one commercial setup and one unified platform to manage everything. KORE provides a single, centralized connectivity management system for all supported connectivity offerings that include customer support, logistics, and billing.
With plans from 24 global carriers and counting and a full range of SIM technologies, KORE can help you ensure that you’ve got the connectivity you need to enable the most advanced IoT services around the globe. Leveraging nearly two decades of IoT expertise and experience, KORE simplifies the complexity of IoT connectivity, enabling organizations’ IoT visions with seamless execution and a constant focus on maximizing returns on IoT investments.
