Industrial IoT Connectivity for Equipment in the Field
Managed cellular connectivity for deployed equipment to stay connected without relying on customer Wi-Fi, LAN access or firewall approvals.
For OEMs, system integrators & industrial technology providers
The Problem:
Connected Equipment Often Fails at the Last Mile
Industrial devices, gateways and field equipment increasingly need to send data back to the cloud, support remote diagnostics, trigger alerts or enable predictive maintenance.
But once equipment is deployed, connectivity can be difficult.
Customer Wi-Fi may be unreliable. Corporate firewalls can delay deployments. LAN access may not be approved. Remote sites may have no fixed broadband. And support teams often need an independent path back to the device when something goes wrong.
That is where IMSI comes in.
Use Cases
Connected Equipment Bundles
Ship Equipment already connected and ready to deploy
For OEMs and device suppliers who want their equipment to arrive already connected.
Typical Examples: industrial sensors, gateways, rugged tablets, field terminals, metering devices, remote controllers, trackers and monitoring equipment.
Value: fewer customer setup steps, faster deployment, better support experience and a cleaner recurring revenue model.
Remote Diagnostics & Maintenance
Keep an independent support path back to deployed equipment
For machine builders & integrators who need a secure, independent support path after equipment is installed
Typical Examples: automation equipment, robotic cells, HVAC systems, power systems, industrial PCs, PLC-connected gateways and vendor-managed equipment.
Value: support teams can diagnose, monitor and maintain equipment without depending on the customer’s IT team or LAN access.
Remote Site Telemetry
Keep critical data flowing from remote and hard to reach sites
For equipment deployed outside normal office or factory networks.
Typical examples: water, energy, solar, cold chain, fleet, construction, agriculture, utilities, building systems and environmental monitoring.
Value: a managed cellular connection allows critical data to keep flowing from remote or hard-to-reach sites.
Why Cellular IoT?
Customer Wi-Fi/ LAN
Can require customer IT approval
May be difficult to configure and support
Can vary between customer sites
May not exist at remote sites
Can make diagnostics harder
Managed Celluar IoT
Independent of the customer network
Designed for remote deployment
Repeatable setup across locations
Wide-area connectivity for field assets
Creates a support path back to equipment
Cellular IoT is not the answer for every device. But it is often the practical answer where equipment needs an independent, repeatable & supportable connection after deployment.
IMSI sits between deployed equipment, the network & the systems that use the data. We help simplify onboarding, connectivity, usage visibility, lifecycle support & ongoing optimisation.
Connecting the Right Solution
Industrial IoT solutions often involve more than connectivity alone.
Depending on the use case, the complete solution may include sensors, gateways, routers, monitoring platforms, dashboards & specialist implementation partners.
IMSI can help identify where managed cellular connectivity fits and work alongside selected technology partners to support a practical end-to-end outcome.
