Connectivity for anything that ships globally.

EdgeUplink isn't tied to one vertical. Anywhere a connected product needs cellular IoT — asset tracking, OEM-embedded telematics, smart cities, agriculture, medical, EV — EdgeUplink works without a per-region SIM swap.

Hardware-agnostic·5–15 year deployments·Multi-IMSI eUICC·Nordic nRF9160 ready

Building an OEM IoT product on Nordic nRF9160?

EdgeUplink eSIMs ship pre-integrated with the Nordic Semiconductor SDK. Plug, flash, deploy. No carrier integration project, no firmware fork to get connectivity working in your design.

Silicon Partner
nRF9160 cellular IoT

nRF9160 + EdgeUplink: production-ready cellular IoT.

The nRF9160 SiP integrates a multimode LTE-M / NB-IoT modem, SAW-less transceiver, RF front-end from Qorvo, integrated GPS, an Arm Cortex-M33 core, 1 MB flash, and 256 KB RAM in a single small-footprint package. EdgeUplink is the connectivity layer that turns that silicon into a globally-connected product on day one.

  • SDK plug-in — drop-in eSIM provisioning library for Nordic SDK projects, no custom AT-command logic
  • Certified bands — nRF9160 covers all global LTE-M and NB-IoT bands; EdgeUplink covers all the carriers
  • Smaller, lower-power, more secure — Nordic's SiP is the smallest cert'd cellular IoT module on the market, with onboard secure-element features for credential storage
  • OEM portal access — monitor every nRF9160-based device's data usage, network connectivity, and activation state in iMatrix Cloud

Where EdgeUplink ships today.

Real production deployments across iMatrix's own products and standalone OEM customers. The backplane is the same — it's just whose hardware is on the other end.

Asset tracking

Trailers Containers Heavy equipment

Battery-powered or solar trackers shipping across borders. EdgeUplink's multi-IMSI eUICC keeps trailers connected when they cross from US to Mexico, EU to Switzerland, or anywhere else carriers change. No retrieval-and-reSIM logistics.

Connected vehicles

Fleet telematics OEM-embedded EV ECU backhaul

OBD-II dongles, embedded telematics gateways, EV battery management telemetry. iMatrix's own FleetConnect runs on EdgeUplink — the same connectivity is available standalone for OEM aftermarket and embedded programs.

Smart cities

Kiosks Parking sensors Transit

Citywide deployments where dozens of MNOs would otherwise need to be negotiated. EdgeUplink's pooled-data plans let cities deploy thousands of NB-IoT sensors on one cost-pool with one console.

Agriculture & IoT

Soil & water Irrigation Livestock

Rural sites where a single carrier may not have coverage but the next one does. EdgeUplink's eUICC switches to whichever operator has signal — meaningful uptime improvement for remote ag deployments.

Medical devices

Diagnostics Remote monitoring Point-of-care

Connected diagnostics, remote patient monitoring devices, and point-of-care equipment that ships globally. Private APN and IPv4/IPv6 routing options support stricter regulatory and security requirements.

EV charging

L2 / DCFC OCPP signaling Billing reconciliation

EV charger backhaul where Wi-Fi isn't available or reliable — public chargers, fleet depots, multifamily buildings. Always-on cellular keeps OCPP sessions alive and billing data flowing.

Detailed customer case studies coming as deployments mature.

One console. Every vertical.

The same iMatrix Cloud dashboard that shows trailer locations and walk-in cooler temperatures shows EdgeUplink eSIM telemetry. Cross-product visibility for operators who run mixed deployments — no integration project required.
