UK Global IoT outfit, Eseye, has teamed up with Verizon enabling IoT customers around the world to localise devices over-the-air onto the Verizon network, using an eUICC compliant approach to ensure IoT devices stay connected wherever they are located.
The partnership gives Eseye and Verizon customers the ability to connect and, where appropriate, localise their IoT devices to the widest range of global networks, on power-up, via Eseye’s AnyNet intelligent IoT connectivity platform, which provides near 100 per cent uptime globally, it’s claimed.
Eseye’s global network of direct interconnects with MNOs, which now includes Verizon in the USA, provides the ability to localise a device to the network in a specific region. Each customer IoT device deployed in the US will now be able to localise traffic directly onto the Verizon network.
Eseye achieves this through its AnyNet+ SIM, which is eUICC compliant and lets IoT devices to switch between networks when required, as directed by its IoT connectivity management platform.
Eseye CEO Nick Earle said: “This is a significant partnership which marks a watershed moment for global IoT connectivity. We’re delighted to be able to extend our global IoT network to include Verizon to enhance IoT solution capabilities for our global customers. Having the ability to localise devices in the US is a critical issue for customers around the world. The partnership with Verizon is an important step forward for the successful delivery of IoT globally.
“The problem of permanent roaming has been a significant barrier for customers wanting to deploy reliable IoT solutions on a global scale. Now, Eseye customers can push past this barrier and localize devices seamlessly onto the Verizon network in the USA. At the same time, MNOs benefit from receiving quality traffic to their network. This delivers value to all parties, establishing a commercially beneficial way forward for MNOs and IoT customers alike.”
