Frequently Asked Questions

IoT connectivity enables shared mobility operators to securely connect vehicles, infrastructure and devices over global mobile networks. It powers essential functions such as vehicle unlocking, GPS tracking, battery monitoring, telematics and remote fleet management, helping operators deliver reliable rental experiences while maintaining visibility across their entire fleet.

Shared mobility services depend on continuous connectivity to deliver a seamless rider experience. If a vehicle loses its network connection, riders may be unable to locate, unlock, or rent it, while operators lose visibility into fleet status. Always-on, multi-network connectivity helps minimize downtime by automatically switching to available networks, keeping vehicles connected even in challenging coverage areas.

eSIM technology enables Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP), allowing operators to remotely deploy, update and manage connectivity throughout a vehicle's lifecycle without replacing physical SIM cards. This simplifies fleet deployment, supports scalable operations across multiple regions, and helps future-proof shared mobility fleets.

Yes. Global IoT connectivity allows operators to deploy a single connectivity solution across international fleets. With access to multiple mobile networks in more than 190 countries, vehicles can remain connected as they move between regions without requiring different SIM cards or local connectivity providers.

IoT connectivity supports every part of a shared mobility ecosystem, including:

  • e-scooters

  • bike-sharing

  • car-sharing fleets

  • charging stations

  • docking infrastructure

  • payment terminals

  • connected operational hardware.

Reliable mobile connectivity enables these devices to exchange data securely and continuously, improving fleet management and user experience.

Unlike consumer SIM cards, IoT SIMs are designed for connected devices that require secure, reliable and scalable connectivity. They support features such as multi-network access, remote SIM provisioning, centralized fleet management and long-term deployments, making them ideal for shared mobility fleets operating across multiple locations.
