IoT connectivity firm Eseye is rolling out SmartConnect, its device-resident connectivity application designed to tackle resilient IoT device connectivity. 

As enterprises increasingly rely on IoT to drive operations, maintaining near 100% connectivity is essential for success. SmartConnect technology ensures IoT devices remain connected, even in the most challenging environments, by providing connectivity, resilience and flexibility.

It directly addresses the leading cause of IoT project failures – poor device design and engineering. With SmartConnect, devices can intelligently manage connectivity, ensuring near 100% uptime by seamlessly switching networks or profiles when connectivity problems arise.

SmartConnect goes beyond traditional eSIM by integrating with Eseye’s AnyNet SIM. This holistic approach includes 25 global MNO interconnects, local breakouts and the cloud-native Infinity platform, guaranteeing resilient connectivity for IoT devices deployed globally.

To ensure optimal performance, Eseye employs a three-step testing process of device assessment, validation and remediation. This process identifies and addresses potential connectivity problems before deployment, reducing the risk of device failure in real-world conditions.

SmartConnect manages the interface between the SIM and modem, supports over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates, and facilitates intelligent IMSI switching. These capabilities enhance device resilience by proactively managing connectivity and reducing the likelihood of downtime due to network outages or other technical issues.

In a rapidly evolving IoT landscape, it helps future-proof devices against changes such as new permanent roaming restrictions and compliance requirements. This dynamic, OTA-customisable connectivity ensures IoT deployments remain resilient and adaptable over time.

SmartConnect has already demonstrated its effectiveness in critical industries. For example, in healthcare, devices using it maintained connectivity during network outages that caused other devices to fail, ensuring uninterrupted service.

With more than 1000 IoT projects under its belt, Eseye has a track record of delivering reliable and resilient connectivity, often stepping in to resolve issues where other providers have fallen short.

SmartConnect (www.eseye.com/iot-solutions/smartconnect) is available as part of Eseye’s suite of IoT connectivity options. Enterprises looking to enhance the resilience of their IoT deployments can integrate this to ensure reliable, scalable and secure connectivity across diverse industries.

UK-based Eseye (www.eseye.com) specialises in global IoT connectivity, bringing the expertise to integrate and optimise device connectivity across 190 countries and over 700 networks, delivering near-100% uptime.
