Accelerate your IoT connectivity with 1GLOBAL

It seems like almost everyone in the technology industry is talking about how the Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way we live and work.

Machina Research predicts that by the end of 2025 the global IoT market will grow to 27 billion devices and generate $3 trillion in revenue. 

More and more companies are focusing on IoT as a new revenue stream. As they do, there’s aways one big question: “What's the best IoT platform to manage our assets and accelerate success?”  

Below, we will explore IoT for businesses, the top five challenges of managing connected devices globally and how 1GLOBAL's IoT platform can assist. 

Transforming industries 

IoT has transformed the way organizations connect with their suppliers, partners and customers. It is now easier than ever to collect, aggregate and analyze huge amounts of data in real time. This, however, has brought fresh challenges as high data usage on highly mobile devices means costs are unpredictable and management becomes complex. 

Top Five Challenges  

1. Managing multiple operators and a complex service model 

Using services from multiple operators requires more management because processes, implementation procedures and systems vary. With 1GLOBAL, OEMs have a single supplier that offers a unified global mobile infrastructure and centralized service model for multiple countries. 

2. Unpredictable costs 

Costs can become unpredictable when managing multiple operators and deployment across multiple countries. 1GLOBAL's patented multi-IMSI eSIM technology can switch networks to a local country identity Over-The-Air (OTA). This means it can operate as a local SIM with local data speeds and costs. 

3. Future-proofing 

IoT technology is still changing rapidly with more device and use-cases being introduced all the time. Companies can be left behind if their network providers cannot provide the appropriate infrastructure. 1GLOBAL eSIMs and removable SIMS are instantly ready to use worldwide as soon as they're installed, no human intervention required.  

4. Speed to market  

Time to market and costs can skyrocket when new features and services are developed, tested and negotiated across several different networks, with multiple device certifications. With a centralized service model, 1GLOBAL ensures a homogeneous implementation with one-time deployment and testing across multiple countries, enabling faster time to market. 

5. Managing & audit control 

Managing hundreds or thousands of devices can be challenging, particularly in organizations where monitoring device behavior is required 24/7. 1GLOBAL offers full control and management of assets 24/7 with its advanced IoT Connectivity Management Platform, including cloud-based life cycle management, a rules engine, and full access and audit capabilities.
