How does EMnify's cloud-native core network improve IoT scalability compared to traditional MNOs?
EMnify's cloud-native core network, built on AWS, eliminates the scaling limitations inherent in physical core networks. This architecture allows for effortless and rapid scaling as IoT businesses grow, providing flexibility that traditional Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) with physical infrastructure often cannot match.
What specific mechanisms does EMnify offer to prevent unexpected charges and control IoT connectivity costs?
EMnify provides several cost control mechanisms, including the ability to set usage limits and receive notifications when nearing them. Users can also lock SIMs to specific devices to prevent misuse, configure services available to devices (like network types and SMS functionality), and only pay for active SIMs with the option to pause or remove them at any time.
Can EMnify's platform integrate with existing cloud BI/analytics platforms for data management?
Yes, EMnify's IoT connectivity can be integrated with major cloud BI/analytics platforms such as AWS Kinesis and Azure Event Hubs. This allows for streamlined data management and analysis processes by feeding real-time connectivity data directly into these systems.
How does EMnify ensure compliance with data regulations and minimize latency for global IoT deployments?
EMnify addresses data compliance and latency by offering selectable AWS cloud breakouts in 9 regions. This feature allows businesses to keep data local to specific geographic areas, ensuring compliance with regional data regulations and minimizing latency for optimal device performance.
What is the 'SuperNetwork' and how does it provide superior uptime and network diversity?
The 'SuperNetwork' is EMnify's proprietary global network, purpose-built for IoT, not voice. It ensures superior uptime and network diversity by providing unsteered access to multiple networks (typically 2-3 reliable networks) in each country across 190+ regions. This redundancy allows devices to automatically switch to backup networks during outages, minimizing disruptions.
Beyond standard cellular, what other connectivity technologies does EMnify support for IoT devices?
In addition to standard cellular technologies like 5G, LTE, and LTE-M, EMnify also supports NB-IoT for low-cost, low-power applications with strong signal strength, and offers converged cellular and satellite connectivity from a single SIM, providing comprehensive reach for diverse IoT use cases.
