Revolutionizing IoT: How Telna Empowered a Top Tier Network with Global IoT Connectivity

As global IoT connectivity continues to evolve rapidly, achieving seamless, reliable, and affordable connectivity remains a challenge for providers worldwide. The Telna Connectivity Hub Platform is a transformative solution that offers end-to-end connectivity services for IoT/M2M, MVNOs, and eSIM.

This case study examines how Network C, a prominent player in the IoT connectivity industry, leveraged the Telna Connectivity Hub Platform to overcome telecoms and business challenges and redefine the standards of global connectivity.

The primary hurdle Network C faced was the integration of global coverage with multiple Tier-1 carriers across diverse geographies. The complexity of this task was amplified by the need to ensure that the preferred integration did not compromise the quality or reliability of the connectivity provided.

This necessitated a flexible, future-proof infrastructure capable of adapting to evolving technological landscapes. The solution also needed to cater to various stakeholders within the IoT ecosystem, including system integrators, mobile network operators (MNOs), and end-users, each with their unique requirements and expectations. Network C's challenge was, therefore, multifaceted:

• Achieving global coverage: To establish a connectivity network that spans over 200 countries and territories, leveraging multiple Tier-1 carriers to ensure comprehensive global access.
  
  

• Maintaining high reliability and quality: To offer a service that ensures high uptime and seamless connectivity across all covered areas, irrespective of the underlying carrier network.

• Supporting multiple cellular technologies: Provide a versatile solution that supports a broad spectrum of cellular technologies, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of IoT devices.

There was also a requirement to satisfy diverse stakeholder needs, from of system integrators to MNOs and end-users – always working to deliver a customizable and user-friendly connectivity experience.

The Solution

In response to the multifaceted challenges faced by Network C, Telna’s Connectivity Hub Platform emerged as a key solution in their quest for redefining global IoT connectivity.

At Telna, we built a platform designed to seamlessly integrate with multiple Tier-1 carriers across various geographies, thereby providing a robust, reliable, and cost-effective connectivity solution tailored for the expansive needs of the IoT ecosystem.

The Connectivity Hub Platform offered a comprehensive suite of features and capabilities that directly addressed the core challenges identified by Network C:

• • Multi-network connectivity: At the heart of the solution was the platform's ability to offer connectivity in a broad range of countries and territories, leveraging the vast network of Tier-1 carriers. This ensured that Network C could offer its customers truly global coverage without the complexities traditionally associated with managing relationships with multiple network providers.

• Multi-SIM solution: To enhance reliability and coverage, the platform introduced a Multi-SIM solution, ensuring that at least two Tier-1 carriers were available in crucial markets.

• Broad cellular technology support: Recognizing the diverse needs of IoT devices and applications, the Connectivity Hub Platform was built to support a wide array of cellular technologies across 2G, 3G, various 4G modes including LTE-M, and 5G.

The platform was also implemented to cater to the specific needs of different stakeholders within the IoT ecosystem. For system integrators, it offered tailored IoT cellular connectivity solutions that facilitated the integration of various devices and applications.

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) benefited from IoT localization services that optimized the connectivity for devices based on their geographical location. Additionally, the platform's eSIM for IoT/M2M feature provided a scalable, secure, and efficient way to manage device subscriptions without the need for physical SIM cards.

Through the Connectivity Hub Platform, Network C successfully established a global connectivity network, offering seamless service in over 200 countries and territories.

The Multi-SIM solution significantly improved service reliability by ensuring that end-users always had access to the strongest available network. This redundancy eliminated connectivity issues related to network downtime or weak signals, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.

End-users enjoyed uninterrupted service, with the platform automatically managing network switches in the background, making connectivity concerns a thing of the past.

The successful deployment of the Connectivity Hub Platform enabled Network C to ascend as a top-tier provider, connecting more than 500,000 IoT devices globally. This large-scale deployment underscored the platform's scalability and reliability, reinforcing Network C's position in the market.
