As a trusted wholesale partner, we are committed to equipping you with the tools and infrastructure to capture this growth.
Smart Cities & Public Sector:
Enable intelligent traffic management, smart parking solutions with integrated payment processing, efficient waste management, public safety enhancements (e.g., connected surveillance, emergency response), environmental monitoring, and smart street lighting. Our connectivity underpins the data collection and communication needed for truly responsive urban environments, including automated fare collection for public transport.
Manufacturing & Industrial IoT (IIoT):
Facilitate predictive maintenance for machinery, real-time production monitoring, quality control automation, supply chain optimization, and enhanced worker safety. Our robust connectivity supports solutions that can also track asset usage for pay-per-use models or trigger automated supply reordering and payments.
Transportation & Logistics:
Power solutions for fleet management (real-time tracking, driver behavior monitoring), asset tracking, cold chain monitoring, and optimizing delivery routes. Enable in-vehicle payment systems for fuel, tolls, and services, as well as usage-based insurance models built on IoT data.
Healthcare:
Support remote patient monitoring, smart medical equipment tracking, and medication management. While direct payment processing is sensitive, our secure connectivity can underpin systems that manage service billing based on device usage or remote consultations.
Agriculture (Smart Farming):
Enable precision agriculture with solutions for soil and crop monitoring, smart irrigation, and livestock tracking. IoT data can facilitate outcome-based financing or trigger payments for supply deliveries based on automated sensor readings.
Retail & Vending:
Help retailers enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency through smart shelves, asset tracking, and personalized in-store marketing. Crucially, our IoT solutions enable unattended retail experiences like smart vending machines, micro-markets, and self-checkout kiosks that rely on seamless connectivity for real-time payment authorization and merchant processing. This includes pay-as-you-go models and automated recurring payments for services.
Utilities & Energy:
Support smart metering (electricity, gas, water) for accurate billing and consumption insights, grid monitoring, and predictive maintenance. Our connectivity is key for pay-as-you-go (PAYG) utility models, where IoT devices enable pre-payment and automated service enablement/disablement based on account status.
Building Management & Real Estate:
Enable smart building solutions for energy efficiency, security, and predictive maintenance. Connectivity can support pay-per-use models for amenities, automated access control tied to subscriptions, or streamlined billing for shared services.
Financial Services & Automated Transactions:
Beyond supporting payments within other sectors, our IoT offering enables new financial products and operational efficiencies. This includes:
IoT-enabled Point of Sale (POS): Supporting mobile and smart POS devices that require reliable connectivity for transaction processing.
Usage-Based Insurance (UBI): Providing the connectivity backbone for collecting data (e.g., from vehicles, wearables, or industrial equipment) to enable personalized insurance premiums.
Automated Payments & Smart Contracts: Facilitating scenarios where IoT data (e.g., delivery confirmation, equipment uptime) can trigger automated payments or contractual actions, reducing manual intervention and streamlining financial workflows.
Secure Data for Financial Services: While we don't process payments directly, our secure and reliable connectivity is foundational for your partners who build financial applications that leverage IoT data for risk assessment, KYC processes (with consent), or fraud detection.
Multi-Network Access: Leverage our extensive and reliable network infrastructure, offering a range of connectivity options to suit diverse IoT use cases:
