How Hologram is helping Zen Ecosystems
- Preflight setup with no data use charges
- Most SIM cards and cell contracts begin charging for data usage as soon as they are shipped. But thanks to Hologram’s Preflight setup, when SIM cards arrive at Zen’s factory, they’re set to not draw data until they’re deployed — even if they sit idle for months.
- Back up coverage for dropped signals
- Hologram provides clients with a global, hardware-agnostic SIM card that has the advantage of having multiple partners for providing reliable connectivity around the globe. If one carrier drops a signal, Hologram connects to the next down the line — ensuring more reliable service.
- Only pay for the data you use
- Rather than a one-size-fits-all plan, Hologram only charges Zen for the data they actually use. If one device uses more data than another, each is charged differently and it constantly adjusts.
Data dashboards make it easy to help customers and plan growth
Hologram’s Inflight platform helps Zen — and its customers — track data across devices. The Inflight platform allows Zen to pinpoint each one of its devices, estimate future usage, and watch for any unusual spikes that might drive up bills.
Zen Ecosystem's lifecycle with Hologram
Testing
Zen Ecosystems ordered a Hologram pilot SIM to test their devices in real time. Working with our IoT experts helped them ensure everything would work perfectly when they moved into development.
Development
As Zen Ecosystems manufactures their devices, Hologram’s SIM cards are activated for testing, but don’t begin charging for data until customers start using them.
Deployment
Zen Ecosystem’s customers receive their devices, plug them in, and are automatically connected via a cellular network.
Maintenance
Hologram’s inflight program allows Zen Ecosystems to monitor all of their customer’s devices and data usage all over the world with just one dashboard.
Scaling
When Zen Ecosystems is ready to add customers in new regions, they have the assurance that they’ll already be connected — so they can focus on their product and sales.
