Our take

The Internet of Things (IoT) stands to revolutionise the world through a network of connected devices able to communicate autonomously, but the industry faces a major bottleneck in the connectivity part of this equation. While there are numerous telecoms providers, their pricing structures are confusing and often far too expensive for the limited data needs of many IoT devices. Enter 1NCE, an IoT network carrier offering a one-off, flat fee to connect any device for its entire expected lifetime.

Aside from being alone in its flat pricing structure, 1NCE also stands out for the flexibility of its offering. IoT devices often find themselves in places where network coverage is almost non-existent, so connectivity solutions have to be adaptable. 1NCE can connect worldwide using all known cellular radio standards. These advantages have seen it gain 12,000 corporate customers using its SIMs in over 15 million connected devices.

Having disrupted the IoT connectivity market, 1NCE is turning its focus on the IoT software industry with the launch of its 1NCE OS. This set of developer tools and device controls is included to customers for free with its flat pricing plan. In the immediate future, 1NCE will develop this offering and expand its marketing efforts as it grows into a major player in an industry that it is rapidly disrupting.
