Soracom, Inc. Launches Soracom Automotive Suite for Managing Connected-Vehicle Connectivity Across Full Vehicle Lifecycle Soracom, Inc. announced Soracom Automotive Suite, a solution for managing connected-vehicle connectivity across the full vehicle lifecycle. Soracom Automotive Suite addresses this with four areas of capability on a single platform, all available through the Soracom API. Connectivity management combines Soracom Multi-Carrier Integration, which manages Soracom and third-party carrier lines through a unified interface. Soracom Connectivity Hypervisor switches operator profiles remotely on a single IoT eSIM. Soracom In-Car Wi-Fi handles in-vehicle user experience for drivers and passengers. Soracom Consumer Billing handles downstream billing for direct end-user charging while Soracom Split Billing separates connectivity costs by usage type. Soracom Enterprise Support provides 24/7/365 incident response for global operations. At the core of the suite, Soracom Connectivity Hypervisor uses GSMA SGP.32 remote provisioning to download, switch, and add operator profiles over the air after a vehicle is in the field. A vehicle activates on a Soracom profile and switches to a local or use-case-specific carrier profile by region, regulatory requirement, or application need, with a built-in Soracom-profile fallback. Through Soracom's mobile core, the platform reaches 500+ carriers across 200+ countries and territories, letting automakers apply the optimal profile for each market without renegotiating carrier contracts vehicle by vehicle. The suite also supports multiple commercial models on a single SIM. Using multiple APNs and traffic analysis, Soracom Split Billing separates connectivity costs across OEM telematics, operator services, and end-user infotainment, so each party is billed for what it uses. Soracom Automotive Suite is available now. Announcement • Jul 28
Soracom Announces Soracom Air RTC Gateway Service Soracom, Inc. announced Soracom Air RTC Gateway, a service that connects voice from IoT devices to a customer's existing contact center, VoIP provider, or AI agent. The cloud service receives a device's standard cellular voice (VoLTE) over Soracom Air and routes each call to its destination using SIM and device information, with no device-side software or voice application development required. Soracom Air RTC Gateway receives a device's standard cellular voice in the cloud and routes each call by SIM and device identity, such as SIM group and tags, to the right destination. Because it works with any IMS/VoLTE-capable module, voice is used as a standard device function with no special software or voice application on the device, and calls are secured by SIM authentication rather than separately managed credentials. Voice travels from the device to Soracom over VoLTE through the secure Soracom Air path, where the gateway converts it to VoIP. From there it reaches an external VoIP provider over the internet, or, through a Soracom Virtual Private Gateway, a private connection to enterprise extensions, contact centers, or an AI agent on an IP PBX in the customer's cloud. Connected to a voice AI, it can handle around-the-clock first-response intake and then hand the call to a human agent. Combined with eSIM Profile Order, which remotely installs a Soracom connectivity profile onto eSIM-capable devices and smartphones, and a Virtual Private Gateway, the service can also turn a corporate device into an internal office extension with secure access to company systems from outside the office. Soracom Air RTC Gateway applies across industrial equipment, social infrastructure, mobility, and office work. Use cases include remote support for construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery; fault reporting and emergency calls from elevators and security systems; nurse-call and telemedicine voice assistance from medical and care devices; support-center connections from connected vehicles; automated voice response through AI agents; and extension calling from corporate devices with secure access to internal systems. Soracom Air RTC Gateway is available now, and advance registration is required to use the service.
