The global Machine-to-Machine (M2M) market is gaining significant momentum and is projected to surpass $42.14 billion by 2028. With businesses continuing to seek smarter, faster and more efficient ways to connect their machines, devices, and systems, M2M connectivity and communication have become fundamental components of digital transformation initiatives across the world.
OXIO provides global connectivity to M2M customers through its intuitive, cloud-based Telecom-as-a-Service (TaaS) platform. From smart metering to fleet management and asset tracking to payment processing, OXIO can deliver reliable connectivity to machines whatever the M2M use case worldwide.
The headache associated with traditional M2M connectivity is now a thing of the past. OXIO has standardized telecom and removes the complexities that come with country-to-country contract negotiations, cost control, network reliability, data silos, and the limited features, functionality and innovation that have become the norm for Machine-to-Machine businesses.
Here are some of the ways we’re empowering M2M customers like Billpocket, Mercado Pago and Connectivity Solutions to succeed in today’s competitive landscape.
Reliable connectivity for M2M businesses
Machines and devices can be located anywhere in the field, and for many businesses they won’t always be static. To ensure devices are always online, wherever they’re located, requires a reliable and trusted network.
This hasn’t always been available for M2M businesses, particularly those who have devices that are going across borders or entering rural areas where signal has frequently been lost. This can have serious implications for businesses through lost revenues, poor customer satisfaction, and employee connectivity frustration. How exasperating must it be when you go to pay for a product and the store clerk can’t take your payment on their POS terminal? Unfortunately, this happens all too often in rural areas, cities with signal blackspots or when there are massive outages on a specific network.
OXIO’s TaaS platform allows companies to build the best network for their devices, ensuring they get the best connectivity, no matter their location. Whether they are vending machines, payment terminals or a fleet of vehicles, machines and devices could have access to multiple networks on a single SIM card so they can operate efficiently at all times.
Flexible pricing & scalability
At OXIO, we understand that machines need different billing plans to consumers and a one-size fits all approach just doesn’t work in today’s competitive landscape. M2M customers can benefit from customized and flexible pricing structures that suit their specific use case, enabling them to optimize connectivity costs and maximize ROI.
Thanks to flexible data pooling capabilities, M2M organizations can allocate less data per line. If one device line exceeds its data limit, another device line might use less than expected, ensuring that on average each line is using just the right amount of data through these efficient data pools.
M2M organizations can also scale effectively when partnering with OXIO. When looking to expand into different countries, we can quickly activate eSIMs in these new territories without the complexities of new country-by-country operator negotiations and contracts. M2M customers won’t need to source, provision and manage SIMs on a country-by-country basis either, as OXIO takes on that burden to make it as simple as possible for its users. What could take months when dealing with individual MNOs, now takes just days, enabling swift and efficient expansion for M2M organizations through a single, unified platform.
Intelligent M2M data and dashboards
Knowing when devices last connected to the network and quickly detecting problems in near-real time is now possible with OXIO’s TaaS platform. M2M customers can access complete and functional connectivity data on their machines and devices and can understand consumption patterns and trends in greater detail through our single, easy to use platform. M2M customers can audit logs using historical data and use powerful sorting and filtering functionality to view specific lines in detail.
We also offer other unique data monitoring features, empowering M2M customers to quickly expose SIM abuse or fraudulent trends and disconnect suspect SIMs from the network through our self-service portal.
Don’t have a technical background or are new to telecom? It doesn’t matter. With OXIO, our platform has been built by our team of experts for ease of use so teams can get to grips with their machines as quickly as possible.
