Cellhire enhances IoT offering with OV global roaming solution | IoT Now News & Reports

Cellhire has announced a partnership with OV, a provider of IoT connectivity. The partnership eliminates excessive charges for roaming IoT devices by giving Cellhire’s clients and channel partners access to more than 600 direct roaming agreements globally, in a permanent roaming solution.

“As the demand for IoT devices continues to rise, businesses are increasingly deploying IoT solutions that span multiple countries, allowing them to enhance productivity and streamline operations on a global scale,” says Matt Bennett, Cellhire UK managing director.

“However, many businesses persist in using traditional voice and data SIM cards to fuel their IoT connectivity. As these SIM cards were not designed for this purpose, it often results in high roaming charges being incurred that prompt the MNOs (mobile network operator) to resort to abrupt SIM disconnections.”

“Consequently, IoT devices become inoperable causing disruptions to vital services without any prior warning,” Bennett adds. “Our partnership with OV effectively addresses these challenges for our customers and partners.”

The multi-network partnership allows Cellhire to deploy tens of thousands of SIM cards remotely. It also marks a major advance for the company allowing it to provide more dependable and cost-effective IoT connectivity solutions for devices that frequently move between different countries.

Bennett comments, “Cellhire understands the importance for our customers and channel partners of having smooth worldwide IoT connectivity. The partnership with OV gives us a strong network infrastructure and expertise to help us provide a roaming solution that’s future-proofed and fit for international operations.”

Paul Donaldson, chief revenue officer at OV, says “Cellhire’s innovative solutions as a global telecoms provider make this an excellent partnership, and we are excited to accelerate and simplify IoT connectivity for its customers. The partnership brings together both the technical and commercial strengths of both companies to deliver exceptional IoT connectivity solutions to customers worldwide.”

This announcement further enhances Cellhire’s IoT offering which includes global roaming with access to 40+ MNOs and UK connectivity through its unsteered multi-network solution. Cellhire also provides convenient UK and global single networks, and services across Europe through its full MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) on the Orange France network.
