Avnet Silica simplifies secure device Cellular Connectivity

When looking for connectivity solutions for connected devices, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must consider the full lifecycle for each device.

  1. Assembly and test in a factory, potentially offshore: cost-optimized data plan for the assembly line test scenario
  2. Change of ownership: once assembled, appliances sold to several companies each packaging their own services with custom configuration
  3. Field deployment in many regions via distributors, installers, retail: different MNOs
  4. Operational life where a service is offered to end-customers: different data plans depending on end-customer level of service

Each part of the lifecycle presents challenges for managing the connectivity through SIMs, provisioning, carriers and costs.
