The Internet of Things (IoT) broadly means everything that can be connected to the internet. Increasingly it is used to describe an object or device that needs to communicate with another system or machine. IoT enables devices to communicate without the need for human interaction: combining devices together allows the collection of data for analysis or to create an action. In business, this could be anything from a sensor in a piece of equipment to a smartwatch.
Pescado has been providing data connectivity to support IoT and Machine to Machine (M2M) solutions for several years, and can provide SIM cards with various allowances to connect devices. Pescado’s IoT SIMs provide private Access Point Names (APN) with the ability to use fixed IP addressing. This ensures security and privacy are maintained.

”We have been using Pescado since 2014 when they were first entering the NI market. Was a bit wary of the account being handled from the mainland at first but it has worked out very well. There is always a local point of contact as well as the backup from the main office in UK. Any queries and issues are sorted without delay. We started off with 65 connections and added another 35 in 2016. They have always routed us through whatever mobile provider was offering the best package suited to our needs at a very keen price.”

”I just wanted to leave some feedback re: Peter Cliffe and the service we have received from him during our change over to Pescado.Peter has been excellent when dealing with ourselves, from the first point of contact, ensuring that we got the right deal for our company and right through to the changeover of providers to yourselves. He has been professional, knowledgeable and helpful and nothing has been too much trouble to ensure a smooth changeover was achieved with all of our staff. He is a very pleasant, approachable and personable guy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and Pescado to other businesses – we are very happy with the service - thank you!”

”Dealing with Jamie was a breath of fresh air…. I wanted a simple solution in place and very clearly explained what our business required including visibility of dials, call time and call recording. Jamie came back very quickly with a solution that matched what we needed. He sent the information I asked for and then called us to run through the details after a short period of time that allowed us to digest the information. Jamie walked us through the whole sales process clearly ensuring all our needs were met. We initially wanted a new phone system in place for when we move in to our new offices in August but due to the smoothness of the process we ended our previous contract with immediate effect and bought forward the plans with Pescado installing in our current office.Jamie has been instrumental in helping us arrange time with the Pescado engineers to ensure our new office will be kitted out for when we make the move. Jamie has also gone above and beyond his call of duty in helping us with a minor issue in which the call monitoring was not reflecting the dials actually made. He worked with us personally rather than reflecting us to your support team.Jamie has not only been extremely helpful but also he is very friendly. Jamie is a true asset to your business. I would not hesitate at any point to recommend Jamie to anyone that I come across who are looking at changing phone providers”
