Telecom26 today announced that its IoT service is helping track down stolen motorbikes in Uganda.

The Global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Market research report was published earlier this month and made interesting reading for the entire Telecom26 team focused on our role as a global connectivity service provider, a full mobile non-terrestrial operator, a maritime MNO - and a full global MVNO for terrestrial coverage.

We recently wrote about private networks at sea and how, as a maritime operator, Telecom26 is now building out mobile private networks at sea for a number of customers as part of our Cellular At Sea service which uses nearshore connectivity when a vessel is hugging the coast.

A recent article in Marine Insight - which provides maritime news and analysis - caught the eyes of our maritime connectivity team.

In this earlier blog IoT SIMs, eSIMs, iSIMs - Telecom26’s team of IoT experts explore the differences, we discussed the emergence of integrated SIMs (iSIMs) which, according to IoT magazine, “moves the SIM from a separate chip into a dedicated silicon area which sits alongside the application processor and/or cellular radio”. 

Telecom26 has been providing IoT connectivity to SystemOne’s digital healthcare programmes across both Africa and Asia for several years. Most recently the contract has been extended to SystemOne’s projects in Angola, Bangladesh and Nigeria.
