MAKING IoT POSSIBLE

Why Companies love it

• It helps them to skyrocket their understanding of how they use connectivity.
• It enables and empowers new business and operational models.
• It makes them more efficient.
• It is incredibly easy to use!

Easy administration of your SIMs

All your IoT SIM cards are made available in X-BRAiN platform to provide you with all information that is relevant to your IoT SIM cards:

• How much data a given IoT SIM card is currently using.
• What M2M Tariff is actually applied.
• In which device your IoT SIM card is mounted and where the device is located.
• The actual SIM status: active / non-active in the network and Billing status.

A single click and you get a view of all relevant details related to your IoT SIM cards.

Your company structure, partners and clients all count

M2M Billing

We support multiple Billing requests

• Billing as a Service: If you have an existing contract with a mobile operator for IoT Connectivity, but the operator cannot provide invoices for the customer’s client, Esplendor Industries processes the call-detail-records (CDRs) and split the operator bill to your clients.
• Esplendor Industries has a direct billing relationship with B2B clients for the provision of IoT Connectivity.
• We enable our customers to create their own invoice for their clients.
• The Re-seller of IoT Connectivity for Consumers benefits from commission payments paid by Esplendor Industry. In this case Esplendor Industries acts as IoT Connectivity provider towards the consumer.

Global Payments

• Paper and electronic invoices
• SEPA
• Credit Cards
• Direct Debit

X-BRAiN Control

X-BRAiN Control is a Content Filter Technology, which can be individually activated and configured for each SIM Card. It can be used with each X-CITE SIM Card without any additional cost. White- or Black-Lists with Access Addresses will control the Dataflow for each SIM Card. One or several lists can be assigned to each SIM-Card or Group of SIM Cards.

When developing an IoT solution or service, it is of essence that the actual Dataflows can be monitored and analysed. With X-BRAiN Control you can monitor the dataflow on both sides of the Content Filter: this way you can check what the device is trying to access and what it is actually allowed to access. X-BRAiN Control will provide you with access reports, and then you can better understand the behaviour of your device during the development phase. This is especially useful when having third party components in your solutions, which can otherwise escape your control when accessing the Internet. X-BRAiN Control will also allow you to differentiate the volume of data that corresponds to each one of the Lists you define. With this information you will be able to view which applications are consuming how much data, and eventually apply individual charges for the usage of one or several applications.

Basic Concept and Use-Cases

Fundamentally, White- or Black-Lists with Internet Addresses are assigned to SIM cards. Through this assignment, you will set the rules about what the device can do when it comes to access the Internet via Mobile Networks. One or several lists can be assigned to the SIM-Cards. In this way, you can define different combinations of lists depending on which combinations of services a device is supposed to be able to execute.

Controlling the Dataflow between the device and the back-end infrastructure can be of vital importance for M2M and IoT. At this point one must set the Web and the Internet apart from each other. M2M and IoT applications use the Internet as an IP Network. In many cases, the potential access to millions of Websites is not appreciated. The same can be applicable to Mobile Corporate Applications. Allowing devices to have unlimited access to the Internet can go from not appreciated to representing a high potential risk in terms of system’s integrity and cost.

Bring your SIM cards to X-BRAiN!

X-BRAiN, the most advanced SIM Management tool for Telematics available, has been built to support all the critical needs of IoT customers. That’s why, we have made it Multi-Operator capable.

What does this mean in practice? X-BRAiN can be easily integrated into any Network Operator. Once this is done, you can import the data from your SIM cards. In X-BRAiN, you can then handle all your SIM Cards from different operators seamlessly.

Performing critical tasks across your entire, multi-operator installed base of SIMs from a centralised platform will dramatically improve the way you operate a key part of your business. You will be able to perform most or all of the following tasks:

• Deep analysis of your Data consumption patterns across your entire installed base and reports generation.
• Central notification centre to report the consumption of your SIM cards.
• Manage how your entire installed base is distributed across partners, customers, local organisations, etc.
• SIM Management tasks such as activation, suspension, etc.*
• Centralised Management of Users and Roles.
• Manage not only your SIMs but also your devices.
• Manage locations where your SIM Cards are installed.
