Thanks to the integrated connectivity solution with close to 100% network availability, customer can now streamline logistics, obtain real-time operational insights of their deployment, and ensure a consistent, premium user experience worldwide.

Challenge

Since 2019, customer has been providing EV charging solutions by leveraging cellular routers and connectivity services from multiple vendors to meet project requirements. However, as the company expands beyond its French home market into North America, Latin America, and Asia, they have encountered challenges in managing communication hardware and service subscriptions across different vendor platforms.
This has resulted in the need for manual data extraction and analysis. Not only does it consume more time and resources to generate global operational reports, but it also hinders their ability to respond promptly to global operational demands.

  • Centralized management platform (web portal and APIs): Semtech’s platform
    enables seamless remote configuration and control on the routers and SIMs,
    and facilitates deployment monitoring. Customer can easily automate alerts for abnormalities using an intuitive alert rule engine, avoiding unnecessary charges
    or losses, conducting online network issue diagnosis, hence minimizing service
    downtime.

    from a single system. This transparency has greatly improved resource allocation
    and financial planning across the enterprise.
