What is global IoT connectivity and why is it important for enterprises?

Global IoT connectivity refers to the seamless integration and communication of IoT devices across different geographies, without the limitations of traditional connectivity solutions. It's crucial for enterprises because it enables efficient, worldwide deployment and management of IoT devices, which is essential for real-time data exchange, monitoring, and control in a connected world.

How does floLIVE's floNET solution enhance global IoT connectivity for enterprises?

floNET, introduced by floLIVE, is a cloud-native, Software-Defined Connectivity (SDC) solution designed specifically for IoT. It offers superior global connectivity and SIM management by providing control, flexibility, and security, which are essential for building enterprise-level IoT solutions. floNET facilitates seamless connectivity across multiple carriers, ensuring continuous operation and eliminating operator lock-in.

What makes floLIVE's solution different from traditional Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)?

Unlike traditional MNOs that may require multiple integrations with different carriers, platforms, and protocols, floLIVE offers a unified solution with its REST API suite, allowing for a one-time integration that covers global connectivity needs. This approach, combined with flexible business models and a focus on cutting-edge technologies like 5G, sets floLIVE apart by offering more adaptable and forward-thinking solutions for enterprises.

How does floLIVE ensure data privacy and compliance in its global IoT solutions?

floLIVE's platform is designed with data privacy and compliance at its core. It ensures that data remains within the country of origin, with the capability to terminate connections as necessary to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR. This localized approach to data management helps enterprises meet stringent data protection standards globally.

Can enterprises bring their existing agreements to floLIVE's platform?

Yes, enterprises can bring their existing agreements, including pre-negotiated rates and relationships, to floLIVE's platform. This flexibility allows businesses to leverage their current agreements while benefiting from floLIVE's advanced connectivity solutions and comprehensive service automation, enhancing productivity and profitability.

What technologies and approaches does floLIVE use to optimize IoT device performance?

floLIVE employs unique technologies to lower latency and extend battery life, which are critical for optimizing IoT device performance. This includes the use of local packet gateways (PGWs), the option for manufacturers to co-host application servers to reduce latency, and a unique data exchange technology that minimizes the active time required for devices. These strategies collectively contribute to improved device lifespan and efficiency.

Through a unified panel, it provides the control, flexibility and security needed for building tomorrow’s global enterprise IoT solutions

Any device - anywhere

Our unique, patented SIM bootstrap technology enables devices to be activated anywhere in the world and receive connectivity services through a local carrier, to overcome Permanent Roaming restrictions.

Abstracting telecom complexities for global enterprises

Managing and maintaining a myriad of different carrier integrations is difficult, time consuming and often results in slow and rigid service. floNET was designed and built from the ground up as a converged cloud-native service. We own and run our own technology, build specifically for global enterprise needs,which means we can be affordable, agile and globally-uniform across any mobile network – all to enable the growth and expansion you need – at cloud-speed.

Autonomous switching

Say goodbye to operator lock-in with multiple carriers in each location. If one carrier is not available your IoT device will automatically switch over to another.

Integrate once - cover the world

Integrate once with our REST API suite instead of multiple times with multiple carriers, platforms and protocols.

Any GSM Technology

We continuously evolve with the introduction of new standards, technologies and protocols, including 2G, 3G, LTE, NB-IoT, and LTE-M. Ready for 5G? We are.

Flexible business models

Think cloud, think modern, think out of the box - unlike traditional MNOs, we can cater to every imaginable business model.
