Telit and Porto Seguro Conecta Give Brazilian IoT Users Faster Rollouts and Lower Costs with Module-Embedded SIMs

LONDON, June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced Porto Seguro Conecta has begun offering Telit's simWISE solution to its IoT customers across Brazil in verticals including agrobusiness, fleet management and utilities. With simWISE, Porto Seguro Conecta customers now can create lower cost IoT devices, and provision and maintain them remotely without costly truck rolls.
