Connectivity for multiple
IoT smart city use cases
Site access
Smart, interconnected access control systems allow access monitoring and management, remote monitoring, and enhanced security.
Building security
Connected sensors, cameras, and smart locks enable proactive detection of potential threats, remote access control and analysis of building activity.
Public safety
Real-time monitoring of public spaces allows for immediate detection of suspicious activity, tracking stolen assets, and sending alerts to authorities, creating a more visible and responsive security network across the city.
Public WiFi
IoT enables widespread WiFi availability in smart cities, allowing for real-time monitoring and management of city functions, while also providing citizens with internet access.
Environment monitoring
Optimise office, manufacturing or chemical environments with the collection and monitoring of sensor data that helps drive efficiency, compliance and sustainable working environments.
Alarm systems
Pelion connectivity provides reliable and robust connectivity to ensure critical alerts and alarms when you need it most.
Overcome your
IoT challenges
Flexibility & scalability
Scale confidently, avoid network lock in and roaming barriers of traditional networks or juggling multiple connectivity platforms. Pelion allows you manage and deploy a large number of devices with IoT eSIMs. Allowing for remote provisioning and activation without disruption.
Cybersecurity & threat management
Public networks + millions of endpoints = massive attack surface. Using encryption and secure authentication to protect data is key. Pelion strengthens cybersecurity by providing robust security solutions that keeps your data secure in transit.
Legacy System integration
Integrating with old or siloed municipal infrastructure is often messy and costly. With Pelion you get a single portal to manage everything or the flexibility to integrate using our API to enhance usage and monitoring using the tools you have.
Regulatory & Policy Challenges
Regulatory fragmentation, regulations differ by country, state, and even city. This creates friction for companies trying to scale deployments across regions. Our flexible connectivity and expertise can help you navigate network access, compliance and data processing needs.
Cost and ROI Pressures
Smart city IoT projects often struggle with high upfront costs, slow ROI, and mounting subscription fees. Pelion’s IoT connectivity simplifies management at scale, helping reduce operational costs and deliver more sustainable, long-term ROI.
