floLIVE announced the launch of its connectivity offering designed to transform the monitoring of transportation and logistics in Sub-Saharan Africa. This solution facilitates trucking, supply chain, and related companies to cost effectively leverage video surveillance applications to conduct safe, reliable, and timely operations. The service is available through select partners serving the transportation industry.
The offering includes a high-bandwidth cellular connectivity package that is priced 70% lower than conventional roaming services and is purpose-built for Africa’s logistics industry. It delivers seamless connectivity throughout major business corridors, overcoming challenges such as network dead zones, inconsistent coverage, and fragmented SIM infrastructure. It enables logistics operators to scale video surveillance, track cargo in real time, and ensure uninterrupted fleet communications.
“In a region where cellular coverage is inconsistent, we have developed a secure and resilient network that addresses service gaps and helps transportation, supply chain, and logistics companies in this fast-growing region maintain secure and reliable operations,” said Chen Porat, Senior Vice President, floLIVE. “The service enables these companies to vastly improve their operations through a combination of frictionless cellular coverage and robust onboard always-on video surveillance equipment.
“Just as importantly, we have created a solution that transforms the economics of IoT and normalises the incredibly disparate data subscription rates among carriers. This not only improves the cost effectiveness and physical security of freight transportation within Sub-Saharan Africa, but it can lead to greater performance and profitability for these businesses.”
The backbone of this service is floLIVE’s cellular coverage across Sub-Sarahan Africa. Its multi-country infrastucture supports consistent monitoring powered by multi-ISMI technology which allows a single SIM to automatically switch between identities tied to different mobile network operators throughout the region. Resilient, always-on connections are guaranteed throughout the service area.
Utilising floLIVE’s multi-ISMI technology, customers have a single contract with the company or its authorised regional partner to connect to the best available local mobile network. This ensures that pricing and coverage remain consistent, regardless of the network used. With predictable and affordable connectivity, transportation companies have the opportunity to share the subscribed data plan across multiple connected cameras to monitor vehicle and driver activity.
“For years, African fleets have been held back by unreliable roaming, costly data plans, and SIMs that simply don’t work across borders,” said Peter Walsh, CEO of CommsCloud. “This partnership with floLIVE changes that. Together, we’re delivering the resilient, always-on connectivity that logistics and transport operators across Sub-Saharan Africa have been demanding — with multi-network resilience and a price point that finally makes large-scale video telematics and real-time monitoring a viable option. It’s a regional solution with 21st-century capability, purpose-built for African businesses ready to scale.”
