International. Solum relies on Alai Secure's Global Multi-Coverage and Multi-Country SIM solutions to improve security at its charging stations for personal mobility vehicles.
These charging stations, special for scooters and electric bicycles, currently reach 280 points, spread over eight different countries. From this international presence arose the need to have an M2M / IoT Multi-coverage and Multi-country SIM that would guarantee the best coverage available at all times.
To better understand how Alai's solutions help, it is relevant to highlight that Solum is a Sevillian technological startup that develops autonomous and sustainable charging stations in urban areas, which uses IoT technology and takes advantage of the built space respecting the urban environment.
Challenges of the solution
The charging stations for personal mobility vehicles, being designed for urban requirements, can be easily changed locations. "A rare quality in urban infrastructure," according to Alai.
In this sense, Anai's Multi-coverage and Multi-country technology allows Solum to offer its services to its customers, present in eight countries, namely Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, Greece, United Kingdom, Holland and Turkey.
In addition, the company aims to continue its international expansion in Europe, Latin America and North America by centralizing its services in all the countries in which it operates with a single M2M/IoT operator.
Something relevant to the Solum service, which has its own App, which allows users to locate the stations, check the status in real time, book, park and load or contact the support chat. The end users of this service are mostly educational centers, universities and shopping centers.
Advantages of the Alai solution
Among the main features of the Alai Global SIM is its Multi-IMSI capability, which allows it to integrate with different Mobile Network operators, automatically connecting to the best available coverage.
It also offers a high level of security regardless of mobility. The Alai Secure SIM is integrated into its Helios charging stations – solar station and grid-connected station – guaranteeing coverage in all the places where it is present and allowing its users to interact with the station.
"The Alai Secure solution allows you to take remote and real-time control of your fleet of SIMs deployed through your Self-Management Platform to see the status of the station, billing control, activate / block / deactivate SIMs".
Finally, it is worth noting that Solum charging stations have anti-theft and intelligent padlocks, something essential for users who use their services and, in this sense of security, Alai Secure provides, as it has an extra layer of Telco Security in each of its solutions against hacking attempts and other malicious attacks by third parties, something vital in M2M/IoT environments.
