Challenge
The client required worldwide connectivity for their new cameras equipped with built-in cellular connectivity. They needed a partner to guarantee instant, out-of-the-box connectivity in the US and Europe, with potential global expansion. Additionally, the client sought flexible SIM management due to seasonal usage of the cameras, necessitating a solution that allowed for pausing SIM cards, data plans, and payments during off-peak times. Lastly, the client needed easy-access analytics to monitor how customers used their cameras in near real-time, including statistics on SIM card activations and popular data packages.
Solution
BICS provided the client with access to a global network, enabling instant connectivity for cameras worldwide. Pre-negotiated data usage agreements with carriers ensured that data was only consumed when end users accessed camera content, averaging 50-200 MB per month per device. The client could manage their IoT connectivity through a user-friendly portal, offering full control over active SIM cards and data plans with the flexibility to adjust according to seasonal demand. Customizable solutions through APIs allowed integration with existing systems and enhanced data transfer user experience, giving the client a tailored approach to managing their IoT deployment.
