One of Soracom\u2019s case studies is Farmnote, \u201ca solution that involves attaching a sensor to heads of cattle and polling data on their activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the challenges of Internet of Things is\u00a0the poor availability and high price of mobile data, especially in the U.S..\u00a0Twilio announced<\/a> it was going to have a stab at changing that\u00a0earlier this year. Today Soracom<\/a>\u00a0showed off its solutions to ease the pain of IoT adaptation across the industry.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s slightly byzantine\u00a0pricing plans<\/a>\u00a0are optimized for a number of low-bandwidth, high uptime applications. The company\u2019s SIM cards cost $5 each plus $1.8 per month (well, $0.06 per day, to be exact) and can be ordered in quantities ranging from one to 1,000. After that, the company offers a number of plans<\/a> aimed at IoT applications.<\/p>\n

The SIMs are aimed at global use, with\u00a0pricing tiers ranging from $0.08 to $2.0 per megabyte depending on region. Much of the U.S., China and Europe fall into the cheapest tier.<\/p>\n

\"Soracom's<\/a><\/p>\n

Soracom\u2019s global data SIM cards are perfect for roaming Internet of Things applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur cloud-first approach is the right fit for both enterprises and startups seeking to deploy secure and scalable IoT experiences in the U.S,\u201d Soracom\u2019s CEO and co-founder Ken Tamagawa says.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s products at launch include Soracom Air (aimed at startup enterprise IoT), Soracom Beam (which reduces power consumption of IoT devices by offloading processing to cloud services) and Soracom Canal (VPN services for secure comms between connected devices and AWS private cloud services).<\/p>\n

CORRECTION \u2013 an earlier version of this article stated that the SIM cards were more expensive per unit. The price was updated in the above article.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
