IoT connectivity solutions and services company, CommsCloud , has launched Cloud Connect SIMs to address patchy coverage and costly roaming for pan-African companies. The SIMs are believed to be the first multi-International Mobile Subscriber Identity IMSI connectivity solution engineered with multiple Core Networks on a single SIM, specifically to overcome the complexities of African logistics.
Says Peter Walsh, CEO of CommsCloud: For African fleets and logistics companies, downtime isnt just an inconvenience - its lost revenue and a real safety risk. The costs of interrupted connectivity go beyond dollars - they include reputational damage, insurance disputes, and sometimes even loss of life and public safety issues. Without resilient connectivity Africa wont fully benefit from IoT and smart logistics.
IMSIs are unique, globally recognised numbers that are stored on a SIM card to identify a specific mobile subscriber. Many providers rely on a single IMSI profile with a single core network, or roaming agreements for cross-border connectivity.
