OXIO has announced a global expansion to serve multinational M2M customers in North America for their connectivity needs across the world.

OXIO now provides reliable connectivity to M2M and IoT devices across 800 networks in over 180 countries. The company has seen success in Mexico by enabling reliable and secure transactions at point-of-sale terminals throughout the country. With this global expansion, M2M companies can take advantage of resilient network coverage via one intuitive cloud-based platform and alleviate the need to work with multiple vendors across different countries.

“Companies continue to seek smarter and more efficient ways to connect and manage their M2M devices and systems, but the legacy telecom model was not built to be tailored to their use cases,” said Nicolas Girard, the founder and CEO of OXIO. “That’s why OXIO takes a technology-first approach to telecom, giving companies the ability to manage, change and monitor their network from our turnkey platform. We remove the ‘local’ element of telecom, enabling our customers to blend carriers and build a borderless global network suited to their needs with reliable, expansive and cost-effective coverage for their devices.”

The cellular M2M market is poised for substantial growth, driven by the surge in 4G and 5G technology adoption. This growth is facilitated by a wide range of applications, including asset tracking, telemedicine and fleet management. Reports anticipate the market growing from $14.39 billion in 2023 to $17.87 billion in 2024, and by 2028, it is expected that the market will grow to $42.14 billion. Cellular M2M market support is needed for the expanding applications of M2M in healthcare, smart agriculture solutions, automotive and the increasing adoption of 5G technology.

OXIO Offers a Flexible, Cost-Effective Solution with Powerful Data Visualizations

M2M businesses face significant challenges due to the inflexibility of traditional telecom models. Their typical fragmented approach makes it difficult for companies to understand device behavior at a global level, and reliance on single MNOs for connectivity leaves devices vulnerable to downtime during network outages or in areas with poor coverage, leading to revenue losses and dissatisfaction among customers and employees alike.

OXIO liberates organisations from navigating country-specific regulations, contracts and operator relationships in favor of one global partner. Using one unified, user-friendly platform, M2M businesses can streamline device connectivity deployment and management, eliminating the need for multiple vendors and regulatory hurdles.

In making security a priority, OXIO has implemented detailed data monitoring features, empowering M2M businesses to safeguard sensitive information, identify fraud and reduce malicious use of device SIM cards and data allowances.

With advanced features including comprehensive visualisations and dashboards, OXIO offers unparalleled visibility and control at a global scale. M2M users have the ability to monitor and track device behavior and consumption in near real-time, with the ability to self-manage and deactivate lines as needed. Additionally, OXIO offers flexible and customisable plans and billing, including data pooling, as well as global SIM provisioning, empowering M2M organisations to allocate data efficiently, scale at speed and reduce costs.

Nokia has announced the launch of a new in-wall ONT for enterprise optical local area network (LAN) connectivity. The new product delivers gigabit speeds to provide a reliable, fast and secure broadband connection inside offices, hotels, hospitals, schools and other enterprise segments. The Nokia ONT is part of Nokia’s comprehensive Optical LAN portfolio designed to help enterprises meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives.

With demand for gigabit services, IoT and file sharing applications growing, enterprises need to establish a LAN that can meet and stay ahead of evolving demands. Delivering a fraction of the complexity, space, energy and costs of a traditional copper-based LAN, Optical LAN uses fibre optic cables to provide a future-proof, high-capacity network alternative for in-building and campus connectivity that can help reduce energy costs by roughly 40%.

Nokia’s new ONT can help enterprises effectively extend the reach of their Optical LAN network to deliver more data capacity to employees using video, voice and data intense applications over the network. The ONT can power additional endpoint devices such as access points or cameras and can be securely mounted in the wall to help save space and reduce the chances for damage or theft. The new Nokia ONT for Optical LAN will be available in 2Q 2024.

Geert Heyninck, the general manager of broadband networks at Nokia, said: “Optical LAN is the right technology for enterprise connectivity today and in the future. Today, we have more than 600 customers, including hospitality, healthcare, airports and universities, that are deploying it with great success, and the number continues to grow. Helping to reduce TCO by as much as 50%, Optical LAN provides enterprises with significant operational and sustainable benefits that collectively can help reduce the energy and CO2 emissions of the IT networks they run.”

Julie Kunstler, the chief analyst, broadband access intelligence service at Omdia, said: “Optical LAN simply makes sense for enterprises. It´s environmentally sustainable, using passive components while reducing energy-consuming network elements. Furthermore, fibre-based LANs are adaptable, a key requirement in an ever-changing world. An Optical LAN will provide a future-proof LAN solution for years to come.”
