So you’ve got a great connected solution, and now you want to scale. Companies with small-scale or regional deployments are often surprised to realize their cellular connectivity provider can’t scale with them. Managing a few hundred or even a few thousand connected devices is a very different endeavor from managing tens or hundreds of thousands of devices. The provider that helped get your business off the ground isn’t necessarily the one that will help you reach your growth targets.

Join us for a live webinar to explore key considerations for managing cellular connectivity across a global fleet of devices. IoT expert Evan Whitelock will discuss critical aspects of scaling your IoT deployments, including:

•How to maximize solution performance no matter which geography you are in

Cellular connectivity is everywhere, leaving many with the impression that providers are more or less the same. When it comes to IoT, the reality is far more complex — with coverage, feature functionality, expertise, and responsiveness varying significantly from provider to provider. These differences only matter more as you scale.

Join us for a live webinar, 3 Things to Look for In an IoT Connectivity Provider, to learn what actually distinguishes providers from one another, and about the rare and critical capabilities that can make or break success as you scale. With over a decade of experience at companies with over 165M devices deployed, IoT expert Jason Chien will:

•Identify the uncommon but critical capabilities that most impact solution performance, reliability, and costs at scale;
•Reveal the technology backbone that distinguishes the most capable providers from the rest;

With so many choices available, and the success of your connected product at stake, it’s critical to know what to look for.

The explosion of connectivity technologies in just the past few years is truly amazing. And each is differentiated by strengths and weaknesses. Today, different business needs will dictate the technology you choose. The bottom line, however, will be the same across the board―reliable, always-on connectivity will be essential for every IoT deployment.

There are many different types of networks available to connect IoT devices: cellular-based and operator-supported technologies, like 5G or low-power wide-area (LPWA), and understanding their differences is crucial to ensuring a successful IoT deployment.
