Solutions

Connectivity services built around deployed devices, not just SIM cards.

Sparrow Connect is designed for companies that deploy connected devices across remote sites and need one operational view of SIMs, data, APNs, devices, alerts and monthly reporting.

LTE

Managed LTE SIMs

LTE connectivity for trackers, routers, telemetry gateways, monitoring systems and field devices, with usage visibility and lifecycle control.

NB

Managed NB-IoT

NB-IoT connectivity workflows for low-power sensors, meters and remote monitoring devices where small payloads and long battery life matter.

e

Managed eSIM

eSIM-ready workflows for sealed, compact or hard-to-reach devices, subject to supported upstream-provider provisioning options.

APN

Private APN

A premium enterprise path for controlled routing, fixed/private IP options, firewall profiles and VPN connectivity to Sparrow or client systems.

DH

Device Health

Correlate SIM usage with device heartbeat, site, signal, backend status and support history to understand why devices are really offline.

AUD

SIM Fleet Audit

A low-risk entry service to identify unused SIMs, high usage, poor mapping, RICA gaps, APN risks and migration opportunities.

One application

One operational platform, separated by clear tabs.

Sparrow Connect is planned as a single web application - not multiple disconnected tools. Each function lives in one application, linked by a common customer, site, device and SIM record.

Partner model

Designed to work through licensed upstream providers.

Sparrow Connect will position itself as a managed IoT connectivity reseller and operations layer, using services obtained from licensed upstream providers. Formal commercial operation remains subject to the appropriate ICASA exemption/licensing path and signed provider agreements.

Why Sparrow Connect

Engineering-led support for companies deploying real devices in the field.

The platform is built around the full IoT chain: device, SIM, network, APN, backend, alert and support action. This helps customers see whether a failure is likely caused by data depletion, APN configuration, network availability, antenna/site issues, firmware behaviour, backend availability or device power.

SIM-to-device mappingEvery SIM is linked to customer, site, IMEI, device serial and APN profile.
Usage intelligenceDetect zero usage, high usage, abnormal spikes and cap risks before they become field failures.
Monthly reportingClear reports for operations, billing, compliance exceptions and recommended actions.

Compliance-aware launch

Built as a demonstrator while regulatory and upstream-provider alignment is completed.

Commercial rollout to external customers should wait until the appropriate ICASA exemption/licensing position, upstream resale agreements, RICA workflow and POPIA controls are properly in place.

  • ECS licence exemption / reseller path to be confirmed and filed where applicable.
  • Written upstream provider agreements required before resale.
  • RICA document handling and SIM allocation records to be controlled.
  • POPIA-aware storage, access control, retention and audit trails to be implemented.
