Soracom has announced the introduction of Plan X3-EU, a new cellular data plan aimed at offering low-cost coverage across Europe for high data consumption scenarios. Alongside extensive coverage, Plan X3-EU includes access to Soracom’s Cloud-native platform services, enabling efficient SIM management, reduced data costs, data transmission to public cloud platforms, and remote access to deployed devices.
Plan X3-EU offers various bundle options to cater to different data consumption needs. Starting with an annual fee of €4.50, customers can access 25MB of data transmission per SIM per month, with a subsequent monthly charge of €0.38 after the first year. Additional options include plans for 100MB, 500MB, 1GB, and 3GB, each with competitive pricing structures designed to accommodate evolving IoT requirements.
While Plan X3-EU is beneficial for numerous IoT use cases, it is particularly suited for deployments involving large telemetry data sets sent to the cloud, over-the-air firmware updates, image and video data transmission, extensive data points for AI training, and gateways and routers used for backhauling aggregated device data.
“We know that data costs can escalate dramatically as IoT deployments scale,” said Ken Otsuki, Director of Business Development and Head of Carrier Relations at Soracom. “By delivering what we believe are some of the best IoT connectivity rates in Europe for high data use cases, Plan X3-EU accelerates IoT projects and supports our customers’ success at scale”.”
Plan X3-EU also includes bundled access to innovative platform services designed to address common IoT challenges. Customers can reduce data costs further with Soracom’s protocol conversion, transmit data directly to cloud functions, manage IoT devices remotely, and apply advanced security features.
