Israeli-based t42 specialises in wireless systems that allow the remote GPS tracking, monitoring and protection of a variety of assets – mobile and fixed – from anywhere, at any time.
t42’s previous connectivity provider’s coverage gaps were a major barrier to scaling IoT deployments internationally. They lacked the capability to provide the reliable and comprehensive cellular coverage the company required to expand its footprint and support global customers, in particular those in the valuable US market.
“Our previous connectivity partner was mainly focused on roaming, which was costly for customers and carried the risk of connection dropping. They also had no localisation solution to overcome the permanent roaming ban for IoT that a lot of countries are enforcing.” Maxim Perry, VP Sales & Marketing, t42
Proven ability to support international customer projects with scalable, centralised management platform.
Multi-IMSI eSIM capability providing access to more than 700 networks in over 190 countries.
Devices instantly connect to the best and most available network with intelligent eUICC switching.
On meeting the Eseye team, t42 recognised that Eseye’s multi-IMSI AnyNet+ eSIM had the potential to meet its customers’ unique and exacting demands. It requested a trial to test the SIMs within its devices.
Partnering with Eseye enables t42 to provide robust global IoT connectivity for its devices, which are typically installed in vehicles, shipping containers and other units that are often on the move. t42’s devices are guaranteed connectivity uptime of almost 100% – the AnyNet+ eSIM can switch immediately and seamlessly to another network if connectivity happens to be interrupted.
To date, t42 has scaled its IoT estate from zero to 2,500 devices in 12 months, keeping vehicles and their owners in multiple markets well-informed and safe.
The focus is now shifting towards supply chain IoT, with a long-term vision to incorporate tracking and monitoring capabilities into every shipping container across the globe.
Shipping containers play an important logistical role in the supply chain and require total connectivity coverage by land and sea. Eseye and Sateliot, a leader in the IoT satellite connectivity landscape, collaborated to provide t42 with satellite-terrestrial integration so that containers can be effectively tracked wherever they are on Earth, without dropping a connection. t42’s trackers can connect to a satellite network where terrestrial cellular coverage is unavailable; this transition is seamless and ensures data flow is uninterrupted, even in remote locations in the middle of the ocean.

Read Case StudyThe t42 team also took advantage of Eseye’s IoT Device Validation services. This made sure the Helios devices were compatible with Eseye’s unique AnyNet+ eSIM technology and back-office systems, and with the eUICC software which enables users to change network provider without physically swapping a SIM card.
Through its AnyNet Federation alliance, Eseye has agreements with every major mobile network operator in the world. Each SIM can be loaded with multiple network user profiles, allowing t42 the flexibility to localise each device based on geography, as well as to switch providers to take advantage of better data rates, while overcoming permanent roaming challenges.
t42 has centralised visibility and control over connection and device status across its entire deployment through Eseye’s Infinity platform. It was crucial that t42 – and its customers could continue to use its Control Centre platform to manage the devices and assets being tracked. Eseye’s APIs allow the two platforms to be flawlessly integrated.
Zero Motorcycles manufactures cutting-edge EV motorcycles that it ships worldwide. Zero integrates the Helios system into its SRF Motorcycle to track location, speed, battery status, and safety warnings. High-performing IoT connectivity was a non-negotiable. t42 and Eseye plan to continue their partnership and focus on international supply chain projects.
