Kore Wireless Group: Connecting the IoT Ecosystem
Vince Jager , VP, KORE APAC Secure, managed connectivity is cardinal to build robust Internet-of-Things (IoT) architectures. However, given the vast spectrum of technologies involved, companies building large scale IoT architectures prefer to deal with a proven, trusted operator who can provide both technology and connectivity solutions. That is where KORE Wireless, with Asia- Pacific offices in Melbourne, Australia, and Singapore, comes in—the preferred IoT solutions provider often chosen for delivering customized solutions for specific business needs. KORE's connectivity solutions, managed services, applications, hardware, and professional services drive quantifiable operational efficiency and cost benefits.
Mr. Vince Jager, Vice President- KORE Wireless Asia-Pacific, explains, “KORE Wireless is the largest independent provider of managed network and layered application services in the IoT market, delivering secure, managed global connectivity solutions with unified control and management services over cellular and satellite networks.” The innovative solutions from KORE allow companies operating in maritime and aviation spaces to track and monitor their assets in some of the most remote areas of the world—areas where even cellular coverage is mostly unavailable. To solve this challenge, KORE has partnered with Iridium, a leader in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) mobile satellite services, to deliver comprehensive, low-cost global connectivity solutions. Satellite connectivity from KORE complements existing cellular networks, such that the lowest cost route is always picked up based on application usage requirements.
The company renders diverse, yet resilient, connectivity solutions using its award winning PRiSMPro Management Platform. The platform supports global networks and devices – both cellular and satellite – and is built with rich features: real-time monitoring, customized reporting, device and network management, provisioning, billing, tracking, and usage alerts.

This service has been beneficial in industrial monitoring, mining, and fleet and maritime asset tracking by reducing support time, optimizing costs, and improving productivity.
When digital health solutions provider, Livongo, chose KORE Wireless as an IoT-enablement partner to mitigate complex regulatory and connectivity barriers in their personal care solutions, KORE identified and resolved issues about quality-of-service and green-lighted outstanding RF safety requirements.
