Vodafone IoT and Simetric have announced a new partnership, which combines both companies’ industry-leading IoT platforms to create a ‘Single-Pane-of-Glass’ overview for customers’ IoT estate
Vodafone‘s Managed Connectivity Platform (GDSP) will integrate with Simetric‘s Single-Pane-of-Glass platform, which will deliver real-time visibility, control, and automation across customers’ IoT estates from a variety of network partners.
With analysts predicting that the number of cellular IoT connections will triple over the next 10 years, businesses are looking for a simpler way to oversee the breadth of their IoT connectivity service, whether it’s on a national or international scale. As customers expand their use of IoT and accumulate multiple agreements for a diverse range of products from various providers around the world, the collaboration means customers can have one unified view, bringing all these arrangements together into a single platform.
Vodafone IoT’s secure and reliable connectivity is available to customers in more than 180 countries worldwide, with over 760 networks to choose from. This partnership will give Vodafone IoT customers even more flexibility to tailor their specific IoT operations to suit their needs by bringing additional connectivity partners under one roof – whether they’re private or public sector, small or large business. Furthermore, the Single-Pane-of-Glass enables customers to see all of Vodafone IoT’s network technologies (i.e. 4G, 5G, LPWA, satellite) and SIM technology (i.e. classic SIM, iSIM, eSIM, as well as new GSMA SGP.32 standards) through the platform.
Simetric integrates its Single-Pane-of-Glass platform functionality for all device provisioning and orchestration – unifying a complete workflow control for all IoT and edge devices across networks.
Erik Brenneis, CEO of Vodafone IoT, said: “Many of our customers come to us with a legacy of connectivity agreements having been active within the IoT space for many years. Our partnership with Simetric simplifies managing their IoT estate, by bringing all their connectivity under a single pane of glass – making it even easier to access the benefits of our leading managed IoT connectivity service.”
Allen Boone, CEO of Simetric said: “We’re proud to partner with Vodafone IoT to accelerate how enterprises deploy and manage connected devices at scale. By combining Vodafone IoT’s global device reach with Simetric’s orchestration platform, we will be able to deliver a unified, intuitive solution to activate, monitor, and optimize distributed networking devices – across markets, carriers, and use cases. This partnership brings immediate, measurable impact through automation, control, and enterprise-grade efficiency.”
