Verizon Business announces a global wireless IoT (Internet of Things) platform that will let businesses deploy and centrally manage IoT devices across international borders, leveraging both native eSIM and roaming capabilities of MNO partners.

With Verizon Global IoT Orchestration, devices operating in multiple global regions will be able to connect natively via an eSIM profile from one of Verizon's international carrier partners and operate just like a network subscriber in that partner’s service footprint, adding the partner’s full technical, commercial and multi-network coverage capabilities and enabling solutions that require local connectivity.

Global IoT Orchestration is integrated within the Verizon ThingSpace IoT management platform. Global and domestic IoT connections can be managed centrally, on a single pane of glass using a seamless API interface.

Through Verizon’s Bell Canada and Telenor partnerships, customers will be able to manage multinational eSIM connectivity in the US, Canada, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Additional MNO eSIM partners covering more territories around the world will be announced later this year.

“The US is a key market for many of our global customers. Together with Verizon we can streamline our customer’s solutions and supply chains while enabling even more reliable access to the US market. This includes local network functionality, which is a catalyst for the next generation of 5G-enabled critical IoT services,” says Mats Lundquist, CEO, Telenor Connexion and Head of Telenor IoT.

Michel Richer, SVP, Enterprise Solutions, Data Engineering and AI, Bell Canada says, “Bell is delighted to provide Canada’s best network to support Verizon and its business customers with the seamless coverage they need for their IoT devices in Canada. This offering delivers the best service experience for centrally managing cutting edge enterprise IoT applications. And, it enables secure access to critical operational data in real time, no matter where in the globe IoT devices may be operating.”
