Smart Mobile Data uses mobile networks to provide reliable, secure IoT connectivity in any location. The new offering enables Giacom's partners to deliver mobile connectivity and provide access to the IoT connectivity market.
Giacom’s multi-network unsteered SIMs give access to the four major UK mobile networks. Devices can connect to a new network if a signal becomes unavailable. This should keep users online.
Andrew Wilford, managing director for mobile, Giacom (pictured), said, “The IoT is changing how people work, communicate and collaborate. It’s not just a technological revolution. It's also the gateway to an extensive marketplace which is experiencing exponential growth.
“With so much obvious potential, we thought the time was right for Giacom to enter the exciting world of IoT connectivity and to offer our Channel partners a direct route to this rapidly maturing market.
“Smart Mobile Data provides the foundation to support a vast range of communications and IT solutions, leveraging the same mobile networks that we all use for our smartphones and tablets. But it goes further than that. It actually enhances the experience and functionality. Therefore, it’s a perfect addition to any traditional comms or managed service portfolio.”
Smart Mobile Data is available through two tariffs – FlexConnect and CompleteConnect. FlexConnect ensures customers’ devices stay connected to 4G/5G, with the capability to find the strongest network between all major UK mobile networks if service is lost, which is available on AllNet tariffs.
CompleteConnect, a managed SIM and router solution, is for customers who need a temporary hotspot or require a mobile broadband solution for a small or home office.
Smart Mobile Data supports both high data rates and low latency, and integrates cellular connectivity into existing network infrastructure.
Giacom has a support team for Smart Mobile Data and its Cloud Market portal can help to simplify billing. Through Cloud Market, partners can also provide additional products to users to enhance their connectivity portfolio, adding value and eliminating the need to split licenses across multiple providers.
