In This Episode – Tactics for Reducing Cellular Data Costs
Today we’re talking about how cellular IoT projects can reduce their data costs. Whether that means designing backend infrastructure or controlling the size of your data transmissions, we’ll look at some of the ways to better control the total cost of ownership of your deployment.
To do that, we’re joined by Steve Hardy, a Customer Reliability Engineer at Soracom who spends every day working through support tickets submitted by customers. Most of these requests are from customers deploying and supporting their fleets of IoT devices, and Steve has agreed to share his experience.
From helping configure an APN to troubleshooting modem commands, the reality is that the best-laid plans rarely survive contact with the real world.
Stay tuned as we dig into the insights and advice of an engineer that specializes in helping people take ownership of their fleets of cellular devices, eliminate waste, reduce expenses, and streamline their operations.
