Aeris

Aeris describes itself as an Internet of Things company. It builds cellular networks and applications that connect vehicles, machines and infrastructure, and it sells a platform for managing those connections across many countries. The company says its stack runs from connectivity up to vertical solutions, and that it ranks among the top ten cellular providers for IoT worldwide. It has its headquarters in Silicon Valley and offices in Chicago, London, Delhi and Tokyo.

Automotive 5G standalone

The company argues that 5G Standalone is becoming a requirement for connected vehicle programs that launch in 2027 and later, because it brings lower latency, more advanced quality-of-service controls and network slicing. Aeris says that automakers must plan connectivity that can scale over a vehicle's life, despite uneven deployment and changing regulations, and it cites a projection of 2.1 billion connected vehicles by 2035.

Global programs in transport, energy and retail

According to the company, its technology powers programs across energy, transportation, retail and healthcare. Its projects include global transport and logistics work, smart grid rollouts and connected car projects for automakers.

Carriers, eSIMs and compliance

Deploying devices across borders means dealing with carriers, eSIM profiles and the rules of each market. Aeris says it simplifies that localization, so that devices stay connected in any region, and it offers a single platform for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting and management of a fleet.

Security, cost and new services

Security covers encryption and threat detection for the whole IoT ecosystem. The company says high roaming fees and inefficient networks hurt profitability, and its cost and performance tools aim to reduce them without loss of reliability. It also helps customers introduce new IoT services and programs, using agile tools that the company says make launches simpler and help scale new revenue streams.

Customers across makers and operators

Auto manufacturers, makers of devices such as fleet telematics units, remote patient monitors and smart water meters, mobile network operators and solutions providers all use the platform. The company says it works with more than thirty automotive OEM groups, and that its customers range from projects with a thousand devices to programs with a million.
