Exceptional Customer Experiences at Charging Stations

EVSEs must remain constantly connected, even in underground parking lots.

Disruptions in cellular connectivity can lead to charging infrastructure downtime, causing financial losses for operators and inconvenience for customers.

Drivers expect:

  • Easy payment transactions without delay
  • Real-time information on available charge stations
  • Fully operational and well-maintained EVSEs at prime locations

Critical Infrastructure

EVSEs are heavy electricity consumers. If not integrated into the wider smart grid, they can cause excess strain on energy infrastructure.

Connected EV charging is integral to multiple critical services, such as:

  • A sustainable transport infrastructure
  • A highly tuned smart grid

This demands the most reliable and secure IoT solutions from trusted partners.

Module and Connectivity Bundles

Sourcing your modules and data plans from one trusted provider is much less risky than managing multiple providers. The benefits of bundling modules and data plans include:

  • Saving space in your design
  • Only speaking with one company when there’s an issue
  • Improve your system’s performance
  • Increase efficiency and get to market faster

The Importance of Future-Proof Technologies for EV Charging Infrastructure

EV charge point service-level agreements (SLAs) demand a reliable, secure connection with high availability.

  • Over time, the industry anticipates:
  • Increased connectivity
  • Higher real-time data volumes
  • More detailed analytics

A robust cellular connectivity infrastructure helps EV charging companies win contracts and mitigate the penalty risks from falling short of SLAs.

We offer a complete future-proof connectivity solution from inception throughout the entire life cycle for your specific use case. We provide the most up-to-date network technologies, including:

  • 2G, 3G and 4G
  • Cat M and NB-IoT
  • Multi-IMSI
  • eUICC
  • Embedded connectivity

Superior Service Advantage with Always-On Connectivity

Even a small delay in EV charging can result in significant downtime and revenue loss over a year or more. In addition, these delays can accumulate and cause frustrating queues. Waits can result in customers choosing alternative providers.

Selecting the right vendor with reliable, secure solutions impacts the bottom line and strengthens the brand reputation. Customers will migrate to competitors with faster services if a charge point is temperamental or slow.
