Semtech (legacy Sierra Wireless) delivers managed cellular broadband connectivity for business and IoT applications. AirVantage Managed Network Services bundle cellular routers, multi-carrier SIMs, dual-SIM 4G/5G failover, retail and industrial broadband access and mission-critical guaranteed-connectivity solutions — with US-based 24x7 support and an SLA covering uptime, throughput, latency and mean-time-to-repair. Fibi sources and negotiates Semtech on your behalf, at no cost to your business.
Portfolio
AirVantage Managed Network Services, dual-SIM 4G/5G failover, retail and industrial broadband access, mission-critical guaranteed-connectivity and device / SIM management — delivered under one US-based 24x7 SLA rather than across separately operated cellular hardware, SIM and management vendors.
Bundled cellular hardware, multi-carrier SIMs, the AirVantage device-management platform and US-based 24x7 monitoring and remediation under one SLA — fitting operating models whose IoT and primary / failover broadband estate spans many sites and whose internal IT capacity cannot manage SIM lifecycle, device firmware and carrier-by-carrier escalations across that footprint.
Cellular routers with two SIMs from different mobile network operators, automatically cutting over when the primary radio path degrades or fails — fitting operating models whose single-carrier cellular failover has shown correlated outages across an MNO footprint, and whose uptime requirement cannot tolerate single-carrier dependency on the cellular leg of the network.
Cellular broadband for retail point-of-sale, in-store WiFi and ancillary store-systems traffic — fitting retail operating models whose store openings cannot wait for wireline construction, whose remodeling cycles disrupt fiber drops, and whose POS uptime posture cannot tolerate best-effort consumer cellular as the only fallback.
Industrial-grade cellular broadband for ruggedized and process-environment deployments — fitting operating models whose plants, fleets, depots or temporary sites need broadband-class connectivity over cellular and whose uptime, environmental and reliability requirements exceed what consumer carrier-supplied hardware delivers.
Mission-critical guaranteed-connectivity solutions paired with the AirVantage SLA — fitting operating models whose business-critical workloads (payments, telemetry, dispatch, signage) cannot tolerate best-effort cellular, and whose audit and risk posture demand contractual uptime, throughput, latency and MTTR targets.
Device-management platform for cellular routers and SIMs — provisioning, firmware, policy and visibility across the deployed estate. Fitting operating models whose internal IT cannot maintain a custom inventory and lifecycle process across hundreds-to-thousands of remote cellular endpoints, and whose audit posture demands centralized visibility and audit logs.
Ideal For
Retail and QSR operating models whose store openings cannot wait for wireline construction, whose POS uptime posture cannot tolerate best-effort consumer cellular and whose remodeling cycles disrupt fiber drops repeatedly.
Operating models with plants, fleets, depots or temporary sites whose ruggedized environments need industrial-grade cellular hardware and whose uptime, environmental and reliability requirements exceed what consumer carrier hardware delivers.
Multi-site operating models whose carrier-diversity posture demands a non-wireline failover path stacked behind primary fiber/cable, and whose audit posture cannot tolerate single-MNO dependency on the cellular leg of the network.
IoT and connected-device programs whose deployment scale spans hundreds to thousands of cellular endpoints and whose internal IT cannot maintain SIM lifecycle, device firmware and carrier escalations without centralized device management.
Why Semtech
Structural advantages that justify Semtech over carrier-direct cellular accounts and unmanaged hardware-only resellers.
AirVantage Managed Network Services bundle hardware, SIMs, platform and 24x7 support into one SLA — fitting operating models whose internal IT cannot maintain firmware, SIM lifecycle and carrier escalations across a distributed cellular estate, and whose vendor posture wants one accountable provider end-to-end.
An SLA covering uptime, throughput, latency and mean-time-to-repair — fitting operating models whose audit, risk and ops posture demand contractual connectivity targets rather than carrier-portal best-effort reporting on the cellular leg of the network.
Dual-SIM 4G/5G with automatic cutover across MNOs — fitting operating models whose single-carrier failover has shown correlated outages, and whose uptime requirement cannot tolerate single-MNO dependency stacked behind the primary wireline path.
Field-proven across retail, food-and-beverage and industrial verticals — fitting operating models whose deployment scale demands references in similar environments, and whose vendor selection cannot rely on lab-only validation for production rollouts.
