As more industries rely on connected devices to keep their operations running, the pressure is on to get connectivity right from the start. In their latest white paper, Wireless Logic highlights network resilience as a critical but often overlooked factor in successful deployments and explains how enterprises can take a more strategic approach to connectivity design, security and operational planning.
IoT networks are under growing pressure to perform, especially in challenging conditions. In ‘Maximising Uptime for IoT’, Wireless Logic explores how early design decisions directly shape long-term reliability, availability and compliance and why resilience must be built in from day one. The white paper offers practical guidance for enterprises who are looking to achieve high-availability and cyber-resilience in IoT deployments.
Based on Wireless Logic’s experience with managing over 18 million connections with customers across 165 countries, it covers key considerations across device, SIM, network and Cloud – including multi-network roaming, failover strategies, eSIM setup and private networking.
“Like roadside assistance services, IoT resilience is often only prioritised after things go wrong,” said Iain Davidson, Senior Product Manager, Wireless Logic. “But with rising demands from customers, regulators and commercial teams, it really needs to be embedded from the start. That means stronger security, faster recovery and networks that are ready for the unexpected.”
Alongside the technical steps needed to deliver high availability, Wireless Logic investigates how to enable faster, automated recovery should outages occur. With rising cyber threats, stricter regulations and growing concerns over ownership costs, the guide also encourages enterprises to treat connectivity as a core part of their IoT strategy rather than an afterthought.
Case studies from sectors like healthcare, mobility, energy and infrastructure show how these principles work in practice and reinforce the vital role connectivity service providers play in building secure, scalable networks that can go the distance.
“You can’t retrofit resilience,” said Toby Gasston, Mobile Core Product Lead, Wireless Logic. “The strongest deployments are built on early decisions around SIM strategy, network access and device behaviour. Those choices shape how well an IoT estate holds up when things don’t go to plan – whether it’s a service failure, a usage spike or a shift in regulation.”
