The availability of **[low-cost cellular data plans](https://www.zipitwireless.com/iot-connectivity)** enables device manufacturers to offer always-connected Internet of Things solutions. While IoT can apply to networks such as Wi-Fi, leveraging carrier service and cellular IoT device provisioning enables solutions to be deployed anywhere, not just near hotspots. The process does come with its own set of challenges, however. **Challenges in provisioning devices can include:** - **Negotiations with all of the leading carriers to enable access to top-tier networks** - **Interfacing with different back-end platforms that are unique to each carrier** - **Optimizing different rate plans to create cost-effective end user subscription offerings ** - **Activating & deactivating cellular data plans automatically based on payment status** - **Monitoring data consumption for all devices in use to ensure costs are controlled** ![Complex Task](https://www.zipitwireless.com/hubfs/iStock-910710828-1024x717.jpg "Complex Task") *Zipit’s relationships with the top-tier worldwide carriers enables us to assist with cellular IoT device provisioning anywhere in the world, on the best networks and to ensure the best connectivity for the IoT application.* ### A simple way to activate and manage IoT devices across multiple networks & geographies. ![Zipit Activate](https://www.zipitwireless.com/hubfs/Zipit_Wireless_August_2020/images/Zipit-Activate-ICCID_dash-1024x872.png "Zipit Activate") Zipit has over 10+ years of experience with IoT solution development and working with the top-tier carriers to offer **[uniquely suited data plans](https://www.zipitwireless.com/global-iot-connectivity-iot-connect/)** to customers.
