Connect to multiple carriers per region with one SIM

Skip the regional SIM shuffle. One Soracom SIM or eSIM connects to 320+ carriers across 180 countries, so you can deploy globally without swapping hardware or managing multiple accounts.

Keep your connectivity costs under control

Choose the pricing model that fits your business — pay-as-you-go, pooled data, or monthly data per-SIM.

Monitor usage in real time, set automated alerts, and optimize costs before they turn into surprises.

Manage every SIM from one dashboard

Activate, suspend, group, or monitor SIMs all in one place.

Soracom’s User Console and APIs make it easy to automate connectivity, configure alerts, and manage devices securely at scale.

Secure every connection from device to cloud

Protect data in motion without adding complexity.

Each SIM includes built-in authentication, IMEI locking, and private routing options that keep device traffic off the public internet through VPNs, private gateways, or direct cloud peering.

Rethink connectivity for how IoT actually works

Soracom uses a cloud-native, software-defined network to connect devices over cellular, satellite, and IP—then deliver data privately to whitelisted destinations across cloud, private, and on-prem networks.

cellular and non-cellular devices securely connecting over soracom secured network connections to send data to choose endpoints. Using platform services and connectivity management console to route data via cloud-native telco infrastructure to white listed servers, private cloud, private networks, or on premise servers.

Compare Soracom’s platform to traditional cellular IoT connectivity

Soracom’s platform is fundamentally different from traditional cellular connectivity in that it is built specifically for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and operates on a cloud-native, software-based infrastructure. Traditional cellular, provided by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), is designed primarily for consumer devices (voice and high-bandwidth data) and often lacks the flexibility, management tools, and specialized integrations required for efficient, large-scale IoT deployments.

Traditional Cellular (MNOs) Soracom Platform
Network Infrastructure Hardware-based, legacy infrastructure with higher operational costs. Cloud-native, software-based core network infrastructure on AWS, Azure, etc.
Connectivity Model Typically single-carrier, single-country SIM, often requiring different physical SIMs for different regions or carriers. Multi-carrier/global coverage through a single SIM (eSIM option available), seamlessly switching networks for best coverage.
Pricing Often requires long-term contracts, minimum commitments, and fixed monthly fees, less flexible for sporadic data usage patterns common in IoT. Pay-as-you-go, commitment-free, highly flexible with options for usage-based billing.
Management Limited management tools, often lacking real-time visibility and API integration for full programmatic control. Comprehensive web console and API for real-time monitoring, remote management (activate/deactivate SIMs, set alerts).
Security & Integration Requires complex and time-consuming setup of private APNs and VPNs to ensure secure connectivity to private networks. Direct, secure integration with major cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP) via private connections, bypassing the public internet.
Developer Focus Generic service offerings that require significant custom development effort to integrate with specific IoT application requirements. Built by developers for developers and enterprise teams, offering tools like remote provisioning and data proxies to offload encryption and authentication.
Support Standardized customer support model, often with multiple tiers and potentially less specialized knowledge of niche IoT challenges. Direct access to technical support teams with diverse backgrounds, avoiding call centers and ensuring issues are resolved by the assigned expert.

Devices connect faster because we’re closer to your devices

Soracom runs multiple infrastructure instances across AWS regions to minimize latency and maximize uptime.

Additional regional PoPs can be deployed as needed to enhance local performance.

AI insights from connected devices

Scale automatically with every new deployment

Whether you manage 10 devices or 100,000, Soracom’s virtualized core adjusts compute and routing on demand.

You never need to size for peak load, add additional private APN hardware, or request additional packet routing gateways to be ordered for your deployment — our cloud-native network scales instantly as you grow.

Integrate directly with cloud applications

Move data securely to your cloud or trigger real-time workflows without middleware.

Soracom services handle it all:

  • Secure data routing
  • Protocol conversion
  • Serverless cloud function calls

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Soracom Cellular Service, and how is it different?
Soracom for Cellular is a network connectivity solution enabling IoT devices to connect via ubiquitous cellular technologies—including 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, 5G, LTE‑M, and NB‑IoT—across global networks using a single SIM or eSIM. It stands out by providing tight integration with cloud and private networks, enabling data transfer without traversing the public internet.
What platform services does Soracom offer beyond connectivity?
oracom’s platform offers both Connectivity Services and Application/Networking Services, all manageable via the web Console, REST API, or CLI: •Connectivity Services: Soracom Air (Cellular, LPWA, Sigfox), Arc (IP networking) • Application Services: Beam (protocol translation), Funnel (cloud integration), Lagoon (dashboards/alerts), Harvest (data storage), Flux (low‑code logic), Krypton (secure provisioning), Orbit, Funk (serverless), Inventory, Endorse • Networking Services: Virtual Private Gateway (VPG), Direct (private cloud interface), Door (VPN), Gate (Device LAN), Canal (private networking), Napter (remote access), Peek (packet capture), Junction (traffic control)
What pricing models does Soracom offer for IoT projects?
Soracom’s pricing is flexible and use-case driven. Options include PAYG (pay-as-you-go), low-volume/fixed usage plans, developer plans, and pooled data plans. Pricing includes access to the Management Console, API access, SIM lifecycle tools, automation, and scaling discounts. No long-term commitments or lock-ins are required. See https://soracom.io/pricing-overview for more details
How does Soracom provide global connectivity with one SIM?
Soracom leverages a multi-carrier MVNO model that supports over 240 carriers in more than 135 countries. It automatically connects devices to the best available network based on location. A single Soracom SIM card (physical or embedded) suffices for global coverage.
Is Soracom secure and enterprise-grade ready?
Yes. Soracom enables secure, cloud-native IoT deployments with features like private network connectivity (no public internet), on-demand remote device access, packet capture, and direct cloud/VPC integration. It supports scalability up to millions of devices and has been recognized by major analyst organizations for Enterprise-level Connectivity Management Platforms (CMPs), and used by some of the worlds largest global brands in automotive, energy, healthcare, point of sale, and more.
Can I manage and monitor devices easily through Soracom?
Absolutely. Soracom provides full access through its free Management Console and API. You can monitor SIM status and usage, pause services, change speed classes, provision devices, automate workflows, and integrate directly with cloud services—all programmatically or via UI.
