Frequently asked questions about our Global IoT Connectivity Solutions

IoT connectivity describes how an IoT device, which can range from simple sensors in a factory to complicated systems like self-driving vehicles, connects to the cloud, other devices, and integration points such as IoT gateways. This connectivity allows for the seamless exchange of data between different devices and systems.

Whether it's applications for smart streetlights or autonomous robots, IoT connectivity is key to enabling smarter, more efficient operations. For businesses, leveraging wholesale connectivity solutions can significantly enhance the scale and cost-effectiveness of implementing IoT across large networks, ensuring devices stay interconnected and optimised for real-time decision-making.

IoT connectivity is essential for enabling data exchange between devices, allowing them to communicate and perform actions in real-time. Whether it's adjusting irrigation in smart agriculture or monitoring patient vitals in healthcare, reliable connectivity ensures data is transmitted quickly, triggering immediate responses.

Connectivity also supports scalability, allowing networks to grow as more devices are added without compromising performance. Multi-Network SIMs, for example, play a key role in ensuring seamless connectivity across different networks, making IoT systems more flexible and reliable.

Furthermore, strong connectivity ensures interoperability (the ability of computer systems or software to exchange and make use of information), enabling devices from different manufacturers to communicate effectively using standard protocols like MQTT or CoAP, enhancing the overall system's functionality.

IoT connectivity solutions are classified based on the technology used, each offering unique benefits for various applications. The most common types include:

  • Wired connections: These include fibre optic and copper, providing stable, high-speed connections ideal for fixed locations and applications requiring constant data flow, such as real-time control or industrial operations.
  • Wireless connections: These include a range of technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mesh protocols, aka Zigbee, Multi-Network SIMs, and cellular networks (4G/5G). They offer flexibility and are often used for mobile and distributed IoT devices. Technologies like LoRaWAN and Narrowband IoT, NB-IoT for short (both Low-Power Wide Area Networks), excel at connecting remote sensors over long distances, making them perfect for applications like smart cities or agriculture.
  • Cellular Networks: Offering wide-area coverage, these networks are ideal for remote sensors or industrial machines. Cellular IoT connectivity, including NB-IoT and LTE-M, can provide reliable access almost anywhere, though it may be more expensive for devices to send frequent, small amounts of data.

When you choose Cellhire as your IoT connectivity partner, we’ll work with you to understand your specific application and recommend the most suitable types of connectivity based on these factors and more.

Global IoT connectivity relies on communication networks that allow IoT devices to connect to the internet from virtually any location. Depending on the technology used such as cellular networks, satellite, or Wi-Fi, devices can transmit data over long distances, enabling applications like connected vehicles, remote monitoring of industrial equipment, and smart city systems.

Global IoT connectivity works by enabling devices to transmit data securely and seamlessly across borders using a robust network of operator partnerships. Global IoT connectivity providers like Cellhire have networks that span over 430 relationships across 191 countries, ensuring that your IoT devices can connect and operate reliably no matter where they are deployed. This global roaming capability is underpinned by technologies such as permanent roaming, dynamic SIM management, and advanced signal optimisation, which collectively allow IoT devices to “connect from anywhere” without interruption or hidden costs.

Cellhire’s IoT Connectivity Solutions are tailored to meet the diverse demands of every industry, from security and CCTV, retail, and digital signage to logistics, asset tracking, industrial manufacturing, and construction. We offer a suite of products including IoT eSIMs, global IoT and M2M SIM cards, fixed IP SIM cards, and multi-network SIMs, alongside comprehensive SIM management via our Atlas portal. These solutions are designed to provide not only reliable and secure connections but also streamlined device management and competitive pricing, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can deploy IoT projects globally with confidence.

No, IoT platforms and IoT portals serve related but distinct functions.

An IoT platform is a comprehensive solution designed to manage and process data from IoT devices. It includes several key components such as device management, data ingestion, data processing, and visualisation, ensuring devices are connected, monitored, and optimised for performance. The platform integrates with other systems and handles tasks like security, network management, and device-to-device communication. It also supports scalability to handle a growing number of devices and data sources over time.

On the other hand, an IoT portal, like the IoT SIM Management portal from Cellhire, serves as the user interface for managing IoT devices and data. While the platform provides the infrastructure and backend processes, the portal is where end-users interact with the system. It allows businesses to access real-time data, configure devices, and monitor connectivity. The IoT SIM Management portal, for instance, allows businesses to manage their SIM cards, monitor data usage, and ensure seamless connectivity across multiple networks. It provides users with real-time control, simplifying the management of IoT devices and their connectivity.

In summary, while IoT platforms provide the backend capabilities to support IoT ecosystems, IoT portals offer the interface for users to manage and interact with the system. The IoT SIM Management portal from Cellhire is an example of a portal that simplifies connectivity management, enabling businesses to focus on their operations without worrying about the complexity of managing global IoT deployments.
