Soracom, Simetric partner to accelerate IoT deployments, drive operational efficiencies at scale

Soracom, Inc., a global provider of advanced IoT connectivity, and Simetric Inc., a single pane of glass, IoT connectivity and edge device life-cycle management platform, have announced their partnership. Soracom and Simetric’s shared recognition that building new connected experiences is challenging enough without adding needless complexity and expense, makes this partnership a natural fit to better serve the needs of global enterprises as they deploy new connected solutions.

“The Soracom platform was designed from the ground up to accelerate speed to market and ensure success at scale in IoT,” says Kenta Yasukawa, Soracom CTO and co-founder. “That’s why we offer global cellular connectivity built on a fully-virtualised, cloud-native core with low-latency access worldwide. Simetric shares our vision for a cloud-agnostic, bearer-agnostic, hardware-agnostic IoT that customers can operate through a single pane of glass or API. The more complex their IoT deployment, the more customers will benefit from what Soracom and Simetric can offer together.”

“What we see in the IoT world is that growing companies are looking to manage their connectivity all up. As they engage with new carriers offering them not only the coverage, they need but also the technology and flexibility their businesses require – that brings the challenge of how they manage these new deployments alongside their legacy environment. By partnering with connectivity providers in IoT like Soracom we allow clients to select the vendors that can accelerate their strategy while providing them with the necessary tools to seamlessly manage across their entire connected ecosystem,” shares Allen Boone, Simetric CEO.

The breadth and volume of IoT use cases, frequently requires enterprises to maintain multiple IoT providers while also managing back-end integrations into cloud platforms. Soracom and Simetric’s combined value lets clients accelerate deployment and ensure efficient operations at scale. Soracom clients seeking the ability to manage legacy deployments can now benefit from Simetric’s unified lifecycle management capabilities and cross-carrier aggregated insights. Simetric clients can now utilise Soracom’s global connectivity and network management technology without having to “rip and replace” their existing footprint. Both organisations have a common mission to help companies gain control across their connected ecosystem, to facilitate growth and to remove process complexity this partnership will solidify their ability to deliver on this promise.
