Cross-border cellular IoT service, operated by floLIVE, expands over Africa's logistics pathways
In a significant move to address longstanding connectivity issues in the African fleet industry, floLIVE has launched a new IoT connectivity solution. This service, developed in partnership with CommsCloud, promises to transform the economics and quality of IoT connectivity for transportation in Sub-Saharan Africa.
According to Peter Walsh, the CEO of CommsCloud, the floLIVE service addresses issues of unreliable roaming, costly data plans, and SIMs that don't work across borders, which have been persistent challenges in the region.
The floLIVE service leverages multi-IMSI technology, allowing a single SIM to automatically switch between identities tied to different mobile network operators throughout the region. This ensures resilient, always-on connections, even in network dead zones and areas with fragmented SIM infrastructure.
The service is part of floLIVE's full portfolio of global connectivity solutions. It offers a high-bandwidth cellular connectivity package priced 70% lower than conventional roaming services, making it a cost-effective solution for logistics operators. With this service, transportation companies can share the subscribed data plan across multiple connected cameras to monitor vehicle, driver, and cargo activity.
The solution enables logistics operators to scale video surveillance, track cargo in real-time, and ensure uninterrupted fleet communications. The backbone of the cross-border service is floLIVE's resilient, high-performance cellular coverage across Sub-Saharan Africa. The service delivers seamless connectivity throughout major business corridors.
Key features of the floLIVE service include high-bandwidth cellular connectivity tailored for Africa’s logistics industry, cross-border seamless coverage along major business corridors, pricing about 70% lower than conventional roaming services, support for always-on video telematics and fleet safety applications, secure, frictionless connectivity that normalizes data subscription rates across carriers, and the ability to track cargo in real-time and scale video surveillance coverage.
The benefits offered by the floLIVE service are threefold. First, it enables logistics, trucking, and supply chain companies to operate safely and reliably despite connectivity obstacles. Second, it improves the economic efficiency of IoT deployments by massively reducing data costs. Lastly, it enhances the physical security of freight and operational performance, boosting profitability and operational control for transportation and logistics businesses operating across Sub-Saharan Africa.
In summary, floLIVE’s solution transforms the economics and quality of IoT connectivity for transportation in Sub-Saharan Africa by delivering affordable, reliable, and scalable cellular connectivity designed specifically for the region’s logistical realities.
