Edge SIM launched to connect IoT devices to cloud providers in 180+ countries

Console Connect, a global Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform, has launched what it describes as the world’s first private connectivity solution to help businesses dynamically and securely route traffic directly between devices and clouds globally without traversing the public internet.

With IoT devices and traffic becoming increasingly vulnerable to network attacks, Edge SIM addresses the enterprise need for secure access between devices and clouds on a global scale, ensuring mobile traffic is not exposed to the public internet.

Businesses can use Edge SIM and the Console Connect NaaS platform to create their own private virtual “mesh” network between devices, clouds, applications, office locations, data centres and other network endpoints.

Using the Console Connect management portal, or via its API, businesses can click and connect edge locations in real-time, removing the complexity of network configuration and management, thus making it simple to scale IoT projects globally.

With coverage across over 180 countries worldwide, Edge SIM supports multinational organisations that need to securely transfer large volumes of data between their connected devices and the cloud while providing greater visibility, security and control over their global IoT assets.

The solution also caters to IoT applications that transfer business-sensitive data between multiple regions involving asset management, logistics, payments networks and more.

“Critical IoT projects are expanding globally. The network automation available through Edge SIM gives businesses cloud-based agility and control over their connected devices worldwide with speed and security. This is a game changer for how businesses orchestrate private connectivity for their IoT projects,” said Marc Halbfinger of Console Connect.
