Global IoT Connectivity
The best network for IoT.
Global IoT connectivity is the ability to ship one SIM into every market and have each device attach to a local network identity in that country, instead of roaming back to a home network. FLOLIVE® delivers this on a distributed cellular core: your device gets a local IMSI and a local data exit wherever it lands, so latency stays low, traffic stays in-country, and permanent roaming rules stay satisfied. 15+ carrier partners, 750+ networks and 40+ local breakout locations, all managed from a single platform.
How Does Localized Global Connectivity Work?
The Flolive cloud-managed core applies a local profile to your device the moment it attaches in a new country, and breaks traffic out locally through the nearest packet gateway. You get compliance, low latency and identical device behaviour in every market, without a roaming agreement in the middle.
With 15+ carrier partners, 750+ networks and 40+ local breakout locations, you get seamless coverage, real-time visibility and full control from a single connectivity management platform.
See our Global Coverage map for detailed information about the coverage we provide in every country.
Which Cellular Technologies Does Flolive Support?
Our uncompromised connectivity provides better global coverage as it combines cellular and satellite under the same platform. Fully controlling our entire technology stack enables us to be up-to-date with the latest cellular technologies and offer them to our customers under the same platform. Our platform, through our globally distributed core networks, fully supports the following cellular technologies: 2G (GSM/GPRS); 3G (UMTS); 4G LTE (Cat-1/Cat-4); 5G NSA; NB-IoT; LTE-M (Cat-M1); IoT NTN (satellite).
How Does IoT NTN Satellite Connectivity Work With Cellular?
Our global network supports all cellular technologies, including LPWA and satellite Non-terrestrial Networks (IoT NTN), to provide a unified, seamless connectivity service. With our unique localized connectivity approach, IoT NTN acts and behaves just like any other cellular network, supporting a variety of use cases, including “satellite as backup.”
Which SIM Form Factors Does Flolive Support?
The Flolive platform is built to support every SIM form factor used in IoT today and tomorrow. Whether you deploy traditional plastic SIMs, embedded MFF2 eSIMs, advanced iSIM architectures, or softSIM, our core owned network and CMP ensure seamless activation, smart switching, and full lifecycle control across all devices and geographies. This flexibility makes global IoT deployments simpler, more scalable, and fully future-proof.
Data Privacy Compliance
Localizing cellular connectivity is essential for ensuring data privacy and data sovereignty compliance. The unique structure of locolized global network enables companies to adhere to data privacy regulations such as GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other data privacy laws. The key for data privacy compliance is to ensure data does not leave the country it originated in, and this is impossible to achieve with roaming-based global connectivity solutions
Overcoming Permanent Roaming Restrictions
The unique Flolive approach to global IoT connectivity ensures compliance with Permanent Roaming restrictions in highly regulated countries, since local IMSIs are applied to the devices when they land in any such country. We already guarantee “Permanent Roaming Safe” connectivity in Canada, China, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa, with India, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Australia in the works.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Unbeatable Performance – Low Latency and High Throughput
Your devices last longer, perform better, and cost less to maintain. With the Flolive localized core networks and regional breakouts, data travels the shortest path, reducing latency, improving uptime, and delivering a seamless experience for every device.
Take a smart meter. On a local Flolive profile, its data reaches the nearest gateway in 40ms and your cloud application 50ms after that, so 90ms end to end. The same reading on a roaming SIM travels 150ms back to its home network, then another 100ms to the cloud: 250ms. Every millisecond the radio stays on costs battery, which is the difference between 5 years in the field and 2.
Flolive delivers global IoT connectivity through a cloud-native, distributed core network with local points of presence (PoPs) worldwide. Instead of relying on traditional, high-latency roaming, our architecture allows devices to connect to a local core in their specific region. This “Global-Local” approach ensures that data is processed nearby, providing the highest possible performance and reliability for mission-critical IoT applications.
Local breakout significantly reduces latency and ensures compliance with local data sovereignty laws by keeping data traffic within national borders. By routing traffic through a local packet gateway rather than backhauling it to a home country, Flolive provides a faster, more stable connection. This is essential for applications like autonomous vehicles or real-time monitoring where every millisecond of delay impacts operational safety.
Flolive solves permanent roaming by using a multi-IMSI platform that switches devices to a native local profile upon entering a restricted market. Many countries, such as Brazil and India, block or throttle devices that roam for more than 90 days. Our platform detects these geographic boundaries and automatically provisions a local identity, ensuring your devices remain legally compliant and permanently connected without manual intervention.
Yes, Flolive provides a unified Connectivity Management Platform (CMP) that offers “single-pane-of-glass” visibility for all your global devices. Even though your devices may be using different local carriers across various continents, you can monitor data usage, manage security policies, and switch network profiles from one central dashboard. This streamlines operations, simplifies billing, and allows for massive scalability without increased administrative overhead.
