Our philosophy for long-lived IoT deployments
|
Connectivity on its own will not set you up for success
Cloud-native core architecture is how we futureproof your IoT deployments
Building security and automation at the platform-level eliminates risk |
Platform Overview
A complete platform for building, launching, and operating IoT products
Soracom provides you the networking, security, automation, and data tools needed to support your connected devices through every stage of their lifecycle.
Purpose built for connected products
IoT deployments need secure networking, automated operations, cloud-ready data pipelines, and device lifecycle tooling. Soracom brings all of this into one unified platform, designed to scale from prototype to production.
Choose the platform with services that scale with you — from connectivity to intelligence
Connecting a device is easy. Operating thousands securely, reliably, and efficiently over many years isn’t. Soracom provides the architectural foundation that connected devices actually need:
Overview of platform capabilities
Supporting every phase of the product lifecycle, from prototyping to global operations.
Prototype quickly without standing up infrastructure
Test connectivity, validate data paths, and visualize early sensor output
During prototyping, your priority is sending data from a device and seeing if it works. Soracom provides turnkey connectivity, data storage, dashboards, and even temporary remote access so you can validate behavior without deploying servers or building cloud integrations.
Relevant Services:
- Air — Global cellular connectivity for IoT devices
- Arc — Virtual SIM for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and satellite backhaul
- Air for Sigfox — Ultra-low-power LPWA connectivity
- Harvest — Built-in time-series data collection
- Lagoon — Dashboards for fleet metrics and sensor data
- Napter — On-demand secure remote device access
- Flux — Low-code automation and video/AI-powered workflows
Establish device identity and deliver credentials at scale
Onboard devices securely without manual provisioning
Provisioning shouldn’t require injecting secrets at the factory. Soracom lets devices request cloud credentials using SIM-based identity, rotate keys remotely, and register with LwM2M device management tools.
Relevant Services:
Deliver data to your cloud without heavy SDKs or TLS burden
Route data to cloud-native services with lightweight device protocols
Instead of embedding cloud SDKs and TLS stacks on constrained devices, Soracom can handle encryption, protocol conversion, batching, and serverless triggers directly in the platform.
Relevant Services:
- Beam — Protocol conversion and TLS offload for cloud-ready data routing
- Funnel — Direct, secure delivery of device data into cloud services without custom brokers
- Funk — Serverless function triggers that let devices call cloud logic without SDKs
- Unified Endpoint — One endpoint for multi-destination routing without firmware changes
Clean, normalize, or enrich payloads before they hit your backend
Adapt data formats without updating device firmware
Transform proprietary payloads, add metadata, filter noise, or reshape messages using inline processing or low-code workflow tools.
Relevant Services:
Build private, controlled networks for your IoT fleet
Use software-defined networking to control how devices communicate
Create private APN alternatives, block internet access, restrict destinations, or place devices into a shared virtual LAN—all without custom carrier contracts.
Relevant Services:
- Soracom VPG – Customizable private gateway for IoT traffic
- Soracom Gate – Virtual LAN for secure device-to-device networking
- Soracom Door – Managed IPsec VPN for private cloud connectivity
- Soracom Direct – Dedicated line for fully private, on-premises routing
- Soracom Canal – Private AWS VPC peering with no public internet exposure
Deliver device data into cloud environments privately and predictably
Connect to AWS VPCs or enterprise systems without public exposure
Use private VPC peering, VPN tunnels, or leased lines to route device traffic into secure environments.
Relevant Services:
- Soracom VPG – Customizable private gateway for IoT traffic
- Soracom Door – Managed IPsec VPN for private connectivity
- Soracom Direct – Dedicated line to on-premises infrastructure
- Soracom Canal – Private cloud peering to AWS VPC
Troubleshoot devices and networks without on-site visits
On-demand remote access
Grant time-limited access to devices for debugging or updates—even behind NAT or private gateways.
Soracom Napter — On-demand remote device access without static IPs or open ports
Network inspection and debugging
Capture packets or mirror traffic to diagnose unusual behavior without deploying sniffers in the field.
Soracom Peek — On-demand packet captures for troubleshooting and network analysis
Turn operational data into dashboards, alerts, and actions
Automate workflows and use AI to explore fleet data
Trigger actions from thresholds, anomalies, or events and analyze your device data using natural-language queries and AI-assisted tooling.
Relevant Services:
Maintain connectivity in remote or off-grid locations
Blend satellite, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet with your cellular strategy
Extend coverage to remote areas and unify connectivity across multiple access technologies.
Relevant Services:
- Soracom Air for Cellular — 2G/3G/4G/LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity for global IoT deployments
- Soracom Satellite — Satellite IoT connectivity for off-grid or remote environments
Build with a platform designed for the entire IoT lifecycle
Whether you’re validating a prototype or scaling a global fleet, Soracom gives you the connectivity, networking, security, automation, and cloud integration tools built specifically for IoT.
