The problem
When connectivity gaps threaten mission-critical communications
For Mobile Tornado, a global leader in push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) technology, connectivity isn't just important—it's everything. Their platform powers instant communication and real-time workforce management for organizations operating in high-stakes environments where delayed or dropped connections can have serious consequences.
As Mobile Tornado expanded globally, serving customers across 30 countries, they encountered a fundamental challenge that no amount of engineering could solve on their own: keeping devices reliably connected across vastly different regions with varying network infrastructure.
Traditional SIM cards locked devices to single-network carriers, creating coverage blind spots that undermined Mobile Tornado's value proposition. A security team might have perfect coverage in one location, only to lose connectivity when moving to another area served by a different carrier. Oil and gas workers in remote sites faced unpredictable service. Transportation fleets crossing regions experienced dropped connections at critical moments.
These network restrictions created operational headaches that cascaded through Mobile Tornado's business. When devices lost connectivity:
- Mission-critical Push-to-Talk communications failed in the field
- Real-time location tracking went dark, leaving supervisors without visibility
- Lone worker safety features became unreliable exactly when needed most
- Customer confidence in the platform eroded with each dropped connection
- Support teams spent valuable time troubleshooting network issues instead of improving the product
For a company built on the promise of reliable, always-on communication, coverage gaps represented more than a technical inconvenience—they threatened the trust their customers placed in them.
"We needed devices that could automatically find and connect to the best available network, no matter where they were deployed," explains Caylor. "Speed and reliability are everything for us."
The solution
Multi-network connectivity eliminates blind spots
Mobile Tornado's requirements were clear: global coverage with automatic network switching, no manual intervention, and the kind of reliability their mission-critical customers demanded. After evaluating options, they partnered with Simplex Wireless to solve their connectivity challenges comprehensively.
Automatic network selection across hundreds of carriers
Simplex Wireless's IoT Data SIMs provided access to hundreds of networks worldwide, fundamentally changing how Mobile Tornado's devices stayed connected. Instead of being locked to a single carrier, devices now automatically connect to the strongest available network in any location. When a device moves between regions or a primary network experiences issues, it seamlessly switches to the best alternative—without user intervention or service interruption.
This eliminated the coverage gaps that had previously constrained Mobile Tornado's deployments. Security teams, transportation fleets, and industrial workers could now move freely across regions while maintaining consistent connectivity.
Simplified global operations
Rather than managing relationships with multiple regional carriers and juggling different SIM inventories for different markets, Mobile Tornado unified their connectivity under a single platform. Deploying devices in a new country no longer required sourcing local SIMs and establishing new carrier contracts. One SIM worked everywhere, with one management interface, one billing relationship, and one support contact.
"With Simplex, our teams can focus on supporting clients rather than troubleshooting connectivity issues," says Caylor.
Built for mission-critical performance
Beyond just multi-network access, Simplex Wireless delivered the low-latency, high-reliability connectivity that push-to-talk applications demand. When every millisecond maters for real-time communication, Mobile Tornado needed a connectivity partner who understood mission-critical requirements—not just generic IoT data plans.
The result was a connectivity foundation that matched the reliability standards Mobile Tornado had built their reputation on.
The Results
Trusted connectivity powers global growth
Simplex Wireless's reliable, multi-network connectivity transformed Mobile Tornado's operations and opened new growth opportunities.
Operational scale without connectivity constraints
Mobile Tornado now confidently manages 150,000+ devices across 30 countries, including large-scale deployments with 10,000 participants in a single communication group. This scale would have been impossible to manage with traditional, carrier-locked SIM cards.
"Being able to trust that every device stays connected anywhere in the world has completely changed how we operate," said Caylor.
Consistent performance customers can depend on
With automatic network switching eliminating coverage gaps, Mobile Tornado delivers the always-on communication their customers require. Push-to-Talk connections remain low-latency and reliable. Location tracking stays accurate. Safety features work when they're needed most.
This consistency strengthens customer trust and reduces support burden. When connectivity just works, Mobile Tornado's team can focus on building better features rather than troubleshooting network issues.
Foundation for continued expansion
Reliable global connectivity gives Mobile Tornado confidence to pursue new markets and industry verticals without worrying about network coverage limitations. Whether deploying in established markets or expanding into new regions, they know their devices will stay connected.
The partnership with Simplex Wireless provides Mobile Tornado with the connectivity infrastructure needed to maintain their position as a global leader in push-to-talk over cellular technology—serving customers who can't afford communication failures.
