In 2017, the Simetric team recognized an underlying need in the IoT industry- the lack of fundamental support and expertise in IoT cellular connectivity management. The existing connectivity platforms deployed by operators were built with a proprietary focus impeding any company’s ability to effectively manage their IoT instances across operators. With the initial focus of many IoT efforts being largely automation, the limitations of competing IoT platforms was not fully recognized.

At the forefront of Simetric’s original vision was the customer. We created a new platform that encompassed a unified management pane that established for a company – of any size and any type – to centrally manage all connectivity needs.

In 2019, the company looked broader at the what the next phase of IoT could become to unify connectivity and device performance to enable companies to not only unify non-conforming IoT platforms, but also to move IoT business process execution to the device effortlessly across all the operators’ IoT platforms.
