Connectivity for Smart Energy Applications

Reliable cellular data for critical energy infrastructure

Energy systems can’t afford downtime, blind spots, or insecure data paths. Soracom provides the secure, resilient connectivity layer energy operators rely on to connect meters, grid assets, distributed generation, and remote equipment—so data arrives on time and decisions happen fast.

Built for energy deployments that don’t stay small—or local

Soracom is a global connectivity platform purpose-built for large, distributed IoT deployments. Energy teams use Soracom to connect devices over cellular and satellite, manage fleets from a single console, and route data securely to cloud or on-prem systems—without stitching together carriers, VPNs, and custom networking.

Learn about Connectivity Services

Global, resilient connectivity

Multi-carrier cellular with automatic failover, plus satellite options for remote or critical sites.

Private, secure networking

Keep operational data off the public internet using private routing and SIM-based access control.

Centralized fleet control

Manage SIMs, devices, usage, and policies across regions from one platform.

Operate energy systems proactively—not reactively

Automate responses to grid and asset events
Detect usage spikes, voltage anomalies, equipment faults, or outages and trigger alerts or workflows automatically—without building your own rules engine.

Monitor fleet health at scale
Track connectivity, usage patterns, and device behavior across thousands of meters, chargers, or substations in a single view.

Apply analytics and AI without rebuilding your stack
Send data directly to cloud analytics and AI services to forecast failures, optimize operations, and support predictive maintenance.

Designed for how energy systems actually operate

Secure networking for critical infrastructure

Energy data is operationally sensitive and often regulated. Soracom provides private, encrypted networking that avoids exposing devices or backend systems to the public internet. Extend private connectivity directly into your cloud or data center and control exactly where device traffic is allowed to go.

Deploy anywhere—from urban grids to remote field assets

Energy assets are installed, redeployed, and expanded across regions. Soracom multi-carrier SIMs reduce contract complexity and eliminate SIM swaps during redeployment, while satellite connectivity ensures critical updates still flow when terrestrial networks fail.

Move complexity out of devices and into the network

Many energy devices operate under tight constraints: limited power, long lifecycles, and legacy hardware. Soracom handles encryption, protocol conversion, and secure delivery at the network layer—enabling simpler firmware, lower-cost hardware, smaller payloads, and longer battery life.

“We chose Soracom because their wide service area covered all of the countries where we planned to deploy the system, confidential information could be securely communicated through a closed network, and we could rely on extensive support.”
