For many global deployments, connectivity often depends on centralized network routes, leading to increased latency, limited visibility, and slowing down even simple network changes. This causes unpredictable routing, slower incident response, and longer lead times for routine policy or network modifications.
To reduce these complexities, iONLINE Connected Networks brings core capabilities closer to the locations where devices operate at the edge, expanding its global network core. The latest node added is Sydney, Australia. An exit point is a location where device traffic leaves the mobile network and enters the public internet or a private network. A local exit point means this exit occurs within the region, which helps reduce latency.
Previously, most solutions for global roaming of corporate clients directed traffic back to the UK or Europe as an exit point. iONLINE's new Australian exit point provides high-speed localized connectivity in a region experiencing rapid growth in enterprise data and Internet of Things (IoT) needs.
High-performance connectivity powered by a software-defined core
iONLINE Director David Parkerson stated that 'corporate connectivity should not force customers to choose between global reach and local performance. By distributing our core capabilities in key regions like Australia, we can improve performance and give customers greater control to adapt quickly as their operations change.'
Since the core is built on Stacuity's cloud-oriented, software-defined mobile core technology, iONLINE is now able to better manage traffic flows and apply policies across different regions in real time. This will deliver measurable results for customers, including faster regional deployment, more stable operation of critical applications, reduced downtime risk, and increased operational responsiveness.
These capabilities bring advantages across various industries such as healthcare, logistics, utilities, smart infrastructure, and transportation.
Real-time control, enhanced performance, and less friction
The iONLINE network already covers several key regions, with further deployment planned. In addition to Sydney in Australia, the network also operates in the USA, UK, and South Africa. More exit points will be added.
Parkerson emphasized that 'these cores are designed to eliminate friction. When customers need to scale, optimize, or react, they can do so quickly and confidently. They gain operational agility that moves at the speed of opportunity.'
iONLINE Connected Networks is a connectivity solutions provider offering enterprise technology solutions globally. In addition to connectivity solutions, the company recently launched Sense Hub—a cloud platform for connected sensors and asset tracking that centralizes device management, real-time telemetry, secure geolocation services, and analytics in multi-network deployments. With offices in the USA, UK, South Africa, and Australia, iONLINE aims to provide customer service and ensure its clients stay connected in an ever-changing world.
