Rogers and rSIM Join Forces to Elevate Permanent IoT Connectivity Across Canada
In a significant collaboration aimed at enhancing connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT), Rogers Communications, Canada's largest wireless service provider, has partnered with rSIM, a company specializing in patented dual-core SIM technology. This partnership aims to address the growing demand for uninterrupted and high-availability IoT connectivity across various industries in Canada, ensuring that businesses remain connected when it matters most.
The Importance of Reliable IoT Connectivity
Rogers, recognized in July 2024 as having the most reliable 5G network in Canada by umlaut, is leveraging this success to provide innovative solutions designed specifically for IoT applications. The unique rSIM technology ensures that devices can access scalable and dependable connectivity, thereby reducing downtime and ensuring continuous service.
The rSIM technology operates based on GSMA standards and offers a resilient solution for IoT deployments by autonomously switching to a backup profile if connectivity is lost. This capability is crucial in sectors where constant connectivity is essential for operations, such as logistics, healthcare, and utilities.
Meeting the Demand for IoT
Recent projections from GSMA Intelligence indicate that Canada is expected to reach 20 million IoT connections by 2030. In fact, 68% of these connections will require permanent, real-time connectivity, a number projected to rise to 83% by 2033. In response to this escalating requirement, Rogers and rSIM are strategically addressing the challenge, ensuring that Canadian businesses are equipped with the high-availability connectivity they need to thrive in an increasingly linked world.
Lloyd Fernandes, Rogers’ Strategic Account Manager for Global IoT, emphasized that this collaboration not only strengthens connectivity for Canadian companies but also allows global businesses to operate more effectively within the highly competitive Canadian market. With the need for reliable connectivity spreading into more vertical IoT sectors, Rogers is poised to support the growing demand.
Cristina Barlow, rSIM’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, added that their goal is to provide real-time, always-on solutions that meet the demands of modern IoT deployments.
