Historically, utilities and connected solution vendors had to implement and operate their own communications infrastructures, or rely on traditional wired telephone lines or radio communications that limited where and how they could connect equipment. With today’s ubiquitous cellular networks and highly reliable wireless applications, utilities can connect more devices in more places than ever before, and deploy and maintain them at a much lower cost.

With deployments around the world, we offer industry-leading cellular M2M technologies – rugged gateways and intelligent embedded modules with long life spans, cloud platforms, expert application development assistance and more.
