Cross-border cellular IoT service debuts from floLIVE, covering logistics routes across African territories.
In a groundbreaking development, floLIVE, in partnership with CommsCloud, has launched a high-bandwidth, low-cost cellular connectivity solution designed to transform freight monitoring and fleet management operations across major business corridors in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The solution addresses the long-standing challenges faced by African logistics and transport operators, such as network dead zones, inconsistent cellular coverage, and fragmented SIM infrastructure. By offering a secure and resilient network, it ensures uninterrupted fleet communications, enabling logistics operators to scale video surveillance, track cargo in real time, and maintain always-on vehicle monitoring.
Peter Walsh, the chief executive officer of CommsCloud, has stated that the floLIVE cross-border service is a significant upgrade over competitive offerings. He claims that the partnership delivers resilient, always-on connectivity that logistics and transport operators in Sub-Saharan Africa have been demanding.
The service supports cross-border cellular IoT connectivity spanning multiple logistics corridors, enabling continuous operation as vehicles move across national borders in Africa, a critical capability given the fragmented telecommunications landscape. This ensures that pricing and coverage remain consistent, regardless of the network used.
Using floLIVE's multi-IMSI technology, customers have a single contract with floLIVE or its authorized regional partner to connect to the best available local mobile network. This multi-country infrastructure supports consistent monitoring, addressing common challenges such as network dead zones, inconsistent coverage, and fragmented SIM infrastructure.
The floLIVE cross-border service is priced about 70% lower than conventional roaming services relevant to the region's operational realities, making it economically viable for trucking, supply chain, and logistics companies to deploy data-intensive applications such as video surveillance.
Chen Porat, senior vice president at floLIVE, emphasizes that their service addresses service gaps due to unstable coverage and creates a robust onboard video surveillance environment that is essential in a fast-growing and logistically complex region like Sub-Saharan Africa.
