Technology Category	Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Middleware, SDKs & Libraries Networks & Connectivity - Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
Applicable Industries	Electronics Telecommunications
Use Cases	Inventory Management Transportation Simulation
Services	Hardware Design & Engineering Services System Integration
Challenge	Micro Systems S.R.L., a specialist in embedded electronics solutions, designs and manufactures process control and user interface boards for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) across various sectors. One of their core capabilities is building complete, customised IoT ecosystems that help their customers evolve from a product-based business into a service-based business. However, they faced a significant challenge when they launched their first IoT project in 2014 for a customer who needed a bespoke solution that could work anywhere in the world. The customer's new system was being sold globally, which meant that Micro Systems’ solution had to be compatible with multiple network operators across many different countries. This was a complex task, as managing the various networks and frequencies involved would be unworkable. Furthermore, the customer required a single, pocket-sized electronic board that integrated several technologies, including GPS, GSM connectivity, an M2M SIM Card, an RFID module, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an accelerometer, and an I/O system.

Solution	To overcome these challenges, Micro Systems partnered with Eseye, a company that provides global IoT connectivity solutions. Eseye's AnyNet+ SIM enables any device equipped with Micro Systems’ board to connect automatically to the best available network. This solution allowed Micro Systems and its customers to operate worldwide, managing data traffic and localizing network connectivity in any market with a single device. Eseye's APIs also enabled its Connectivity Management Platform to interoperate with 3rd party enterprise applications, such as AWS IoT Core and the Micro Systems IoT platform. This allowed critical device data to be sent and received between Eseye’s platform and customers’ own management platforms, enabling them to extract value from their IoT data and futureproof projects. Furthermore, Micro Systems’ electronic boards were shipped with Eseye’s SIM card pre-installed, simplifying connectivity management for customers. Eseye also offered a single global bill combining the aggregated costs of network providers across all networks, eliminating the complexity of operating in multiple different countries.
