floLIVE, a global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity solutions, has launched a new service designed to transform monitoring in Sub-Saharan Africa’s transportation and logistics industry. The offering, available through selected industry partners, delivers a high-bandwidth cellular package priced around 70% lower than traditional roaming services.
Tailored for Africa’s logistics environment, it provides uninterrupted coverage along key business routes, addressing persistent issues such as patchy signal, inconsistent coverage, and fragmented SIM usage. The solution enables logistics operators to deploy large-scale video surveillance, track cargo in real time, and maintain constant communication with their fleets.
IMSI technology
By using floLIVE’s multi-IMSI technology, a single SIM can automatically switch between mobile network operator identities across multiple countries, ensuring resilient connections with at least two networks in each territory. Customers can sign one contract with floLIVE or a local partner for seamless cross-border coverage and consistent pricing.
“Our secure, resilient network bridges service gaps across the region and allows transportation and logistics firms to operate safely and efficiently. It transforms the economics of IoT in Africa by normalizing data costs, improving security, and enabling businesses to enhance performance and profitability,” said Chen Porat, Senior Vice President at floLIVE.
South African IoT solutions provider CommsCloud is among the first to partner with floLIVE on the initiative. Chief Executive Peter Walsh noted that the service addresses long-standing industry pain points.
“For years, African fleets have struggled with unreliable roaming, high data charges, and SIMs that failed across borders. This partnership delivers the multi-network resilience and cost structure needed to make large-scale video telematics and real-time monitoring a reality for African operators,” Walsh said.
With predictable and affordable connectivity, transport companies can share data plans across multiple cameras to monitor vehicles, drivers, and cargo opening new opportunities for efficiency and security in the region’s fast-growing logistics sector.
