Greenwave Systems – A Leader in End-To-End, Software-Defined Mobile Network Solutions

The Silicon Review

In the world of IoT, you need several ingredients to get your M2M project up and running. The two main components of any IoT project, though, are your IoT devices and your connectivity. Whatever you use to keep your devices connected with one another or the cloud - be it Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular data, etc. - is what puts the "I" in "IoT". Global IoT connectivity is the idea of having a connectivity solution that keeps your devices connected, no matter where they are in the world. Moreover, since Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both proximity-based solutions, the best option for keeping your devices connected globally is cellular networks. Mobile networks cover a large area, can manage a substantial number of devices and are very reliable. Global connectivity is vital within the IoT industry for a few reasons. IoT devices are often mobile. Take a fleet of autonomous vehicles, for example. The further these vehicles travel, the more extensive the range of connectivity they'll need. IoT connectivity matters is that it directly impacts how large or small the scale of your IoT project is.

Greenwave Systems is a global connectivity provider with main offices in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Irvine, California, USA. Greenwave Systems has a strong history in IoT, with deployments of millions of IoT gateways and devices. Greenwave Systems’ WAVELY solution is a software-defined NaaS connectivity platform that allows customers to become virtual network operators.

Leveraging Best-in-Class IoT Connectivity Services

SIM Card Cellular Connectivity: Combining expertise in mobile core services and IoT/M2M, Greenwave System's WAVELY provides an end-to-end connectivity solution. Be it launching a totally new IoT deployment or filling in the gaps of an existing one, WAVELY’s offering can be easily tailored to meet various needs in multiple industry sectors. This is achieved through a full MVNO/MVNE platform, including its own mobile network code, enabling complete control of GSM/LTE traffic that includes voice, data (2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, NB-IoT) and MMS/SMS. Its mobile platform, together with its telco core, provides simple access to extensive functionality through a user-friendly dashboard tool. This allows efficient management and control of all your connections. Full telco core provides view of detailed information. Details available include view of IP address, SIM location, PLMN update, network priorities and blacklist/whitelist. The company operates its own telco core and LoRa core. They are members of GSMA and have telco license. Greenwave Systems covers three continents with offices in the US, Europe and Singapore, and has over 250 employees.

Device Management: The end-to-end offering also enables device management, taking advantage of their IoT experience and expertise. After a device is paired with a SIM card, substantial business support is provided by the device management model on the WAVELY platform. Greenwave Systems keep all data traffic from devices connected to the internet and they route it back to theircore as the default. This data is then delivered to the customers via VPN, or directly to their data storage in their data center. Access to this data is then handled exclusively through a secure API. Control usage and prevent fraud with triggers and actions. Actions can be SMS, mail, notifications and/or API calls, and can be set for an individual SIM card or for a group. It provides strong SIM applet to enable remote management of SIM card remote (for example, SIM restart, IMSI number update, network priorities, etc.). Storage of device data on the WAVELY platform can be viewed on the accompanying app and/or pushed via API. It offers geo-tagging of device during installation based on antenna mast info. If the device has GPS, the precise location can be viewed on the dashboard.
