SANTA CLARA – Soracom Inc., provider of the leading cloud-native communication platform for the Internet of Things, today announced a new rate plan designed specifically for devices that require only small amounts of data.
Speaking in a keynote on the IoT Architecture track at Internet of Things World 2017, Soracom founder and CEO Ken Tamagawa announced the immediate availability of a new rate plan for cellular connectivity addressing the needs of IoT developers who work with relatively small amounts of data each month:
“We’ve always been committed to a contract-free, pay-as-you-go model,” Tamagawa said. “It’s the right way to connect IoT devices. This new pricing reduces fixed cost even further for anyone using small amounts of data, so you can keep a device alive and get full access to the cloud at a very low cost.”
The new pricing is available immediately and applies to Soracom’s “SORACOM Air” cellular connectivity service for IoT. Under the current plan, cellular connectivity is available for $0.06 USD/day with data metered at a rate of $0.08 USD/MB (lower rates available at higher volume). Under the new Low Data Volume plan, connectivity is billed at a flat $0.40 USD/month, with data metered at a rate of $0.50 USD/MB.
“The typical fixed cost for connectivity can be a challenge for developers,” said CJ Boguszewski, Soracom G2M lead for the Americas. “Especially in cases like asset tracking or low-frequency remote monitoring, it can cost more to keep a connection alive than it does to transfer data. This new plan makes it easier for key IoT use cases to deliver ROI much more quickly.”
The SORACOM Air SIM for cellular IoT/M2M connectivity operates in 120 countries worldwide and comes with Soracom’s robust network management console and 150+ APIs. SORACOM SIM cards are available on Amazon.com and can now also be purchased directly from the Soracom user console. Connection on any plan provides access to Soracom’s full suite of cloud services for improved device performance, reduced memory, data and power usage, and secure integration with leading cloud services.

Tokyo — SORACOM, INC. provider of the leading cloud-native communication platform for the Internet of Things, today announced that secure, programmable SMS delivery has been added to the API suite for the SORACOM Air IOT connectivity service.
In IOT applications, SMS is typically used to push configuration information from a server to devices, set devices to sleep or waking state, or to execute specific commands. However, sending SMS requires a persistent cellular connection between the devices and the server, and has the potential to expose devices to security risks.
Sending SMS via API calls not only makes it possible to automate SMS tranmission but also supports use of a server located outside the cellular communication network. Because this function requires the destination SIM to be pre-authenticated in a SORACOM account, it also prevents access by outside parties even if they acquire identifying information for devices.
The SORACOM SMS API allows connected devices to send information to an external server, or even to other devices in the same network. This gives devices access to additional SORACOM services, including SORACOM Beam, Funnel, and Harvest, allowing secure connection to public endpoints, collection and visualization of device data, and direct transmission of data to leading cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
Because there is no need to activate an IP data session, sending data via SMS can reduce power usage associated with signalling and transmitting headers, and works even in cases where IP data sessions are not supported by specific devices or local operators. Cost for IP data is generally lower, so this works very well as a backup when IP data is not available or when battery life is at a premium.
SMS transmission via API is available in public beta beginning October 11, 2017. During this beta period there is no charge for SMS sent from servers or devices in a user’s SORACOM network.
SORACOM will continue to develop services and expand its functions so that customers can create and release new IoT solutions quickly and easily. Soracom is committed to creating a more connected world, and will contribute to the development of the IoT industry through the SORACOM platform.
OPTEX Company, Limited provides solutions to ensure safety, security, and comfort using advanced sensor technology. OPTEX specializes in indoor and outdoor passive and active infrared technology, including a wide variety of hardwired and wireless outdoor detectors and photobeams, specialized sensors to trigger automatic doors, LEDs, and CCTV systems, and a one-of-a-kind Class-1 Laser detector for high security applications.
Gateway devices are indispensable to our solutions. However, stable gateway operation can be difficult unless we incorporate various ancillary functions (failure detection, life and death monitoring, etc.) in addition to the base application. The SORACOM SMS API lets us securely communicate with our gateway devices using SMS, allowing activation, resetting, maintenance and control even when trouble occurs or mobile networks are not available. This new function helps us to deliver more powerful solutions, and I look forward to its general release.
KYOSO Co., Ltd. welcomes the general release of SORACOM’s SMS transmission API. Our IoT.kyoto service provides enterprise IoT systems for a wide range of industrial and Smart City applications. Many in-field devices require occasional restart for proper operation, and in cases where IP communication is not available we can ensure restart capability using SMS. To date, IoT.kyoto has relied on external services to handle SMS transmission. The ability to deliver SMS securely using the SORACOM API lets us streamline system design while ensuring efficient SMS delivery. I am looking forward to using this feature to add new user-centric capabilities while reducing IoT complexity.
Soracom is the market-leading platform for cloud-native IoT connectivity. We provide customers and partners across industries with the tools they need to connect, protect, control and coordinate their IoT deployments at speed and at scale.
