Global IoT Without Borders: How floLIVE Is Redefining Connectivity

When it comes to IoT connectivity, few people have seen the industry evolve quite like our own Rony Cohen, Co-Founder of floLIVE. With more than 20 years of telecom experience and a career that spans continents, Rony has built mobile networks from the ground up in Africa, Israel, and Europe. But it was his realization that traditional mobile operators were ill-equipped to handle the unique demands of IoT that ultimately led to the creation of floLIVE.

In a recent interview, Rony shared how floLIVE worked to build a truly global, cloud-native connectivity infrastructure that overcomes the limitations of legacy mobile networks. Where traditional mobile network operators (MNOs) focus on local coverage, floLIVE was built for a borderless world, supporting enterprises whose devices operate globally and need to stay connected anywhere, anytime.

Rethinking the Infrastructure of IoT

At the heart of floLIVE’s approach is its distributed network, which is the largest of its kind in the world. With dozens of core networks and packet gateways strategically positioned across continents, floLIVE can provide low-latency, high-resilience coverage that traditional operators can’t match. This architecture also allows enterprises to maintain control over their data, manage security policies, and route traffic intelligently, and the magic all happens from a single platform.

It’s a model that’s proving essential as enterprises grapple with growing compliance and data sovereignty requirements. In regions where regulations demand that data remain within national borders, Rony discusses how floLIVE’s infrastructure enables exactly that, ensuring data can stay local while maintaining global reach.

Bridging Private and Public Networks

Beyond global coverage, floLIVE is also innovating in the world of private and hybrid 5G networks. Rony highlighted how enterprises can now deploy private 5G cores on-site while seamlessly transitioning to public networks when devices move offsite, all without losing connectivity or security. This hybrid model, powered by floLIVE’s multi-IMSI SIM technology, represents a new era of flexibility for industries like automotive, logistics, and manufacturing.

Eyes on the Next Frontier: Satellites and Beyond

Of course, IoT connectivity doesn’t stop at the edge of cellular coverage. Rony believes the next big evolution lies in satellite integration, connecting IoT devices through space-based networks with the same authentication and management as cellular devices. floLIVE’s infrastructure is already built to support this convergence, positioning the company at the forefront of the next connectivity revolution.

As Rony puts it best, IoT connectivity is global by nature, and it deserves an infrastructure that matches. floLIVE’s journey reflects that belief, combining innovation, scalability, and compliance to deliver seamless global coverage.
