Empowering smart cities with secure IoT connectivity

As cities evolve into smart cities, the demand for reliable and scalable IoT connectivity increases. At IXT, we understand the complexities that municipalities face when implementing smart city infrastructure. Our innovative solutions are designed to simplify this process, ensuring seamless integration and efficient management of IoT deployments.

Our Global SIM solutions provide robust and uninterrupted connectivity across various smart city components. From street lighting to waste management systems, our technology ensures that all city infrastructure communicates effectively, making urban management more efficient and responsive.

Zero Trust: Keep city IoT off the public internet

Zero Trust means “never trust, always verify”: give each device a verifiable identity, assume every network is untrusted, and allow only the minimum, per-session access with continuous checks.

In practice, that looks like private-first routing (private APNs or direct cloud), device-initiated sessions only, and policy enforced on every connection so there are no exposed endpoints on the public internet.

Securing critical data

In an era where data breaches are becoming increasingly common, the security of critical city data cannot be overstated. IXT SecureNet makes private paths the default - no shared gateways, no public ip exposure - so essential services remain reachable without being discoverable.  Our solutions ensures that all data transmitted across the IoT network remains confidential and secure.

By employing advanced encryption and authentication protocols, IXT SecureNet mitigates risks and provides municipalities with the peace of mind that their data is safe. Whether it's protecting information from traffic management systems or energy grids, our secure network solutions are designed to safeguard the integrity of smart cities. 

Combine this with Zero Trust policies, per-session, least-privilege access, and you reduce lateral movement risk while keeping operations smooth.

Optimising connectivity with global SIM solutions

Managing multiple IoT devices across various locations can be complex. IXT's Global SIM solutions with global data pool simplify this by offering a unified platform that provides reliable IoT connectivity worldwide. This means cities can deploy IoT solutions without worrying about compatibility issues, network disruptions or a complex range of data plans. Add multi-profile eSIM to localise connectivity when required, helping you comply with regional rules and avoid permanent roaming headaches.

Our IoT connectivity management platform (IXT CMP) allows for real time insight, enabling municipalities to monitor, manage, and optimise their IoT deployments efficiently. With real-time analytics and data pooling capabilities, cities can make informed decisions, reduce operational costs, and enhance overall performance.

Enhancing Mobility and Transport Networks

Smart mobility is a crucial aspect of modern urban planning. IXT's IoT solutions extend to transport networks, providing reliable connectivity for fleet management, micro-mobility, and logistics. Our connectivity ensures that all components of the transport network work in harmony, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

From monitoring electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to managing public transit systems, IXTs IoT SIMs enhance the functionality and reliability of urban mobility. By optimising data usage and ensuring uninterrupted connectivity, we help cities create a more efficient and sustainable transport ecosystem.

With IXT you get Zero Trust by design. Per-session policy, SecureNet for private APNs and direct cloud paths, our custom CMP for real-time visibility, multi-profile eSIM for localisation, and global, multi-network coverage with one simple data pool.
