Global IoT used to mean a different SIM for every market and a different paperwork stack for every carrier. EdgeUplink eSIM makes that one part number. FC-501 ships with it pre-installed; NEO-1 and Sentry-1 piggy-back on the same uplink. One bill, one dashboard, every carrier.
Multi-IMSI eSIM negotiates the best local network at boot. No country lock, no roaming surprises, no MNO contract per market.
Activations, data usage, status — all in one iMatrix Cloud view. Costs are predictable; data plans are pooled across the device fleet.
If the primary network drops, eSIM negotiates the next best carrier in seconds. Devices in transit, ships at sea, and cross-border vehicles stay online.
FC-501 is the cellular spine. NEO-1 and Sentry-1 ride that uplink — meaning a single eSIM activation is enough to bring an entire local sensor mesh online. One device, one carrier, many sensors.
LTE Global Cat-1 across 18 bands with 3G/2G fallback. Ships with EdgeUplink eSIM — no SIM swap on import. Ready to authenticate and uplink the moment it powers on, in any country it lands in.
Wireless temp/humidity sensor. Pairs with FC-501 over BLE — no carrier required. The FC-501's eSIM is the only cellular subscription you need for the entire local sensor population.
BLE door/window sensor. Ships in any country, deploys without local approvals. Talks to FC-501 (or the Micro Gateway) and uplinks through the EdgeUplink eSIM.
FC-501 boots, scans available networks, and EdgeUplink picks the best local IMSI. Authenticates against the chosen MNO. Online in seconds, with no human in the loop.
NEO-1 and Sentry-1 pair with FC-501 (or a Micro Gateway connected via FC-501). Sensor data is bridged to cellular — only the gateway needs a SIM.
All devices report into iMatrix Cloud against a single pooled data plan. You see every device, every byte, every country in one console.
Network drops or device crosses a border? eSIM re-negotiates and stays online. Sensors keep reporting; the dashboard shows the carrier change as a logged event, not a service interruption.
One SKU, one carrier negotiation. Manufacturers of Nordic nRF9160 modules, BLE sensor kits, and asset trackers ship without per-market connectivity work.
Trucks crossing US ↔ MX ↔ CA, or EU country-to-country, never lose connectivity. Roaming charges replaced by predictable pooled data.
Construction sites, mining operations, oil & gas infrastructure in remote markets. EdgeUplink covers what local SIMs won't.
