Good to know before you compare
Coverage is local
A carrier that works well downtown may not reach a rural site or the back of a warehouse. Tell Teli where the phones and devices will actually be used.
Device management is about control
Mobile device management lets you set up company phones and tablets remotely, keep them updated, and lock or wipe one that is lost.
Machines use different plans from people
A sensor or a card reader needs a small, steady data connection, not a phone plan. Carriers sell connectivity built for equipment, usually called IoT or M2M.
Questions people ask
What is mobile device management?
Mobile device management, or MDM, is software that lets a business set up, secure and update its phones and tablets from one place, and lock or erase a device that is lost or stolen.
What is IoT or M2M connectivity?
IoT and M2M connectivity is cellular data service for equipment instead of people: sensors, vehicles, kiosks, alarm panels and payment terminals. Plans are sized for small amounts of data across many devices.
Can wireless be a backup for my office internet?
Yes. Business 5G and fixed wireless service can back up a wired connection or serve a site where wired options are thin. Teli can ask for it to be quoted alongside your main line.
