Cellhire, a specialist in mobile communications, M2M/IoT services and data connectivity, announces a strategic partnership with OV, a provider of resilient and robust IoT connectivity. The partnership eliminates excessive charges for roaming IoT devices by giving Cellhire’s clients and channel partners access to more than 600 direct roaming agreements globally, in a permanent roaming solution.

As the demand for IoT devices continues to rise, businesses are increasingly deploying IoT solutions that span multiple countries, allowing them to enhance productivity and streamline operations on a global scale,” says Matt Bennett, Cellhire’s UK Managing Director.

Cellhire and OV form strategic partnership

Matt Bennett adds, “However, many businesses persist in using traditional voice and data SIM cards to fuel their IoT connectivity. As these SIM cards were not designed for this purpose, it often results in high roaming charges being incurred that prompt the MNOs to resort to abrupt SIM disconnections.

Consequently, IoT devices become inoperable causing disruptions to vital services without any prior warning,” said Matt Bennett, adding “Our partnership with OV effectively addresses these challenges for our customers and partners.

Major advancement

The multi-network partnership allows Cellhire to deploy tens of thousands of SIM cards remotely

The multi-network partnership allows Cellhire to deploy tens of thousands of SIM cards remotely. It also marks a major advance for the company allowing it to provide more dependable and cost-effective IoT connectivity solutions for devices that frequently move between different countries.

Matt Bennett comments, “Cellhire understands the importance for our customers and channel partners of having smooth worldwide IoT connectivity. The partnership with OV gives us a strong network infrastructure and expertise to help us provide a roaming solution that’s future-proofed and fit for international operations.

Accelerate and simplify IoT connectivity

Paul Donaldson, the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at OV, welcomed Cellhire as a partner, stating, “Cellhire’s innovative solutions as a global telecoms provider make this an excellent partnership, and we are excited to accelerate and simplify IoT connectivity for its customers. The partnership brings together both the technical and commercial strengths of both companies to deliver exceptional IoT connectivity solutions to customers worldwide.

This announcement further enhances Cellhire’s IoT offering which includes global roaming with access to 40+ MNOs and seamless UK connectivity through its un-steered multi-network solution. Cellhire also provides convenient UK and global single networks, and reliable services across Europe through its full MVNO on Orange France.
