Elisa’s IoT subscription - Secure internet connection for devices and computers

Elisa’s IoT (M2M) subscription is a device subscription that connects various devices to a mobile network. This device can be for example an alarm system, a water gauge or a factory machine.

What is an IoT subscription?

An IoT subscription is a mobile subscription that connects your devices and machines to the internet. An IoT subscription requires a SIM card that is installed in the device.

IoT subscriptions are also often referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) subscriptions.

IoT subscriptions can be used on devices based on different mobile technologies, such as NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT), LTE-M and 5G and 4G networks.

What can IoT subscriptions be used for?

Control devices remotely

An IoT subscription allows you to connect to a device and manage it over the network. This allows you to set the alarm system remotely, for example. Remote management saves your company time and resources as you or your employees no longer need to travel on site to check the equipment.

Collect data on an ongoing basis

The IoT subscription sends information from devices to your company’s information systems at preferred intervals. Automated data collection facilitates monitoring and ensures that processes are in order. For example, water gauge data indicates if your apartment’s water consumption has increased unexpectedly.

Act quickly based on the data

Real-time information about devices facilitates problem identification. For example, device location information lets you know when a device leaves the permitted area. This allows you to react quickly to thefts. You can also see if a remotely read meter is broken and replace it immediately.
