You don’t realise the power of Soracom, until you use it.

The existing choice of IoT connectivity solutions for electronics engineers and application developers working on products for the IoT is overwhelming and continuously increasing.

If you are facing tough decisions too, this post is going to make your life easier.

Soracom might not be your first choice yet, but it’s the greatest choice! Already deployed by nearly 6000 companies, the advanced IoT connectivity platform & solutions by Soracom terminate the mobile packet data in cloud thereby allowing secure transfer services from that point. By offering direct integration to cloud, the platform removes the hassles of understanding telecom infrastructure and allows to directly transfer data from the devices to the cloud.

By using our solution called Beam, you can easily manage your IoT devices anytime and anywhere through the cloud.

With its cloud hosted mobile core, Soracom provides any company a “private IoT cellular network”, enabling bidirectional communication between devices and cloud, by-passing public internet.

Network elements in the form of micro services allow easy creation of new business rules and logics. The patented approach of replication of key network micro services for a customer, for instance, creates the ability for Soracom to provide a dedicated private network at a fraction of the cost of a full network setup.

For connectivity management, we offer APIs to control & manage all aspects of user’s SIMs & connectivity. With protocol conversion and direct integration to cloud services, devices can off-load heavy lifting such as SSL/TLS implementation to the cloud. This reduces battery consumption of devices by around 20% and eases device management.

Global connectivity affordable for everyone

Our roots lie in Japan, where such leading technology groups as Komatsu, Sharp, Konica Minolta, and Canon use Soracom’s IoT solutions.

We work with developers, technology start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as large groups who do not have to be convinced that the IoT is not a mere possibility, but the standard of the new way of life.

At Soracom we develop IoT solutions to be better with an undying passion. A similar passion can be seen in our clients as well.
