SG Wireless, a full-stack IoT technology solutions provider and design engineering subsidiary of Season Group, has announced a strategic partnership with 1NCE, a global leader in IoT software and connectivity services.

The collaboration integrates 1NCE’s global SIM card technology directly into the SG Wireless F1 Starter Kit, delivering a true plug-and-play IoT development experience with zero-touch provisioning. This move aims to simplify IoT connectivity for developers and enterprises, cutting through the complexity that often slows down innovation.

A Ready-to-Deploy IoT Development Platform

The SG Wireless F1 Starter Kit is a comprehensive IoT development platform, offering multi-network connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, LTE CAT-M1/NB-IoT, and LoRaWAN. Combined with developer-friendly tools and cloud integration, it is tailored for quick prototyping, testing, and deployment across industries.

Applications range from smart agriculture and industrial monitoring to connected healthcare. By integrating 1NCE SIM cards into the kits, users can benefit from seamless global connectivity across more than 170 countries. This feature is particularly attractive for businesses that want to deploy IoT devices internationally without grappling with complex configuration processes.

1NCE, well-known for its disruptive flat-rate pricing model, currently operates the world’s largest IoT network in the cloud with more than 30 million connected products. Its software platform is optimized for reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Solving the IoT Deployment Challenge

One of the major bottlenecks in IoT development is connectivity setup. Traditionally, configuring IoT devices for different network environments can be time-consuming, often requiring manual intervention. The partnership between SG Wireless and 1NCE addresses this pain point head-on.

By embedding 1NCE SIMs into the SG Wireless IoT solutions, users can connect devices instantly with zero-touch provisioning — meaning the device activates and connects to the network automatically. This dramatically reduces the time from concept to market, giving businesses a competitive advantage.

Moreover, Season Group’s global manufacturing presence in Mexico, Malaysia, the UK, and China ensures that customers can rapidly move from prototype to production. The company’s flexible manufacturing capabilities also allow for quick-turn prototyping and scalable production for deployments in multiple regions.

Key Benefits of the SG Wireless and 1NCE Collaboration

• Plug-and-Play IoT Development – Preloaded 1NCE SIM cards enable immediate device activation without complex setup.
• Global IoT Coverage – Reliable connectivity in over 170 countries, perfect for scaling solutions internationally.
• Predictable Costs – 1NCE’s flat-rate pricing ensures affordable, transparent connectivity costs worldwide.

Driving IoT Growth Across Multiple Industries

The enhanced SG Wireless IoT solutions are expected to accelerate growth in various markets. For industrial monitoring, companies can roll out connected sensors and control systems faster. In connected healthcare, devices can be tested and deployed with reliable, secure connections from the start. Similarly, smart agriculture projects can benefit from global connectivity for data gathering, monitoring, and automation.

As the IoT market continues to expand, the demand for simple, scalable, and cost-effective solutions will only grow. The SG Wireless and 1NCE partnership directly addresses these needs, empowering developers to create innovative products without worrying about the underlying connectivity infrastructure.

Calvin Ma, CEO of SG Wireless, highlighted the significance of this partnership, stating, “Our mission has always been to remove barriers for IoT innovators. By integrating 1NCE technology into our F1 Starter Kits, we give our customers a faster, smoother path to launching their solutions globally.”

With IoT projected to connect billions of devices in the next few years, solutions like the SG Wireless F1 Starter Kit with embedded 1NCE connectivity could become a standard for enterprises that prioritize speed, reliability, and simplicity in their deployments.
