How We Work

Hardware producers and developers of M2M applications can access a customised, controlled and low risk data airtime service.

Customise your service: We provide airtime and billing management services tailored to your business needs, allowing you to include controlled airtime as part of your value proposition. Customisation is available on billing, some tariffs, SIM usage and reporting.

Control your costs: Our competitive data rates are appropriate for low usage, machine applications. Our unique aggregation service, means data usage is allocated across all your SIMs. Overspends can be eliminated if desired, by setting alerts and/or cut-offs on pre-defined usage levels. The result is predictable “no-worries” accurate billing, and no cost blow outs.

Minimise risk: With a Mach Communications SIM, you can control the provisioning, so you only start paying when you start using the SIM. You can eliminate airtime overuse by setting controls at a single machine level, and bar voice and SMS if required. Asset tracking at the SIM level and other operational controls, such as alerts and SIM analysis, allow you to streamline your processes, control spend and manage operational risk.

Mach Communications has chosen to deliver a wireless network via GSM/GPRS/3G cellular technology, because it is the most ideally suited to the M2M market:

• Wide spread coverage – over 94% population coverage in Australia. 
• GPRS/3G is an “always on” technology allowing customers to virtually extend their data networks.
• Provides a variety of messaging services to suit differing needs – SMS, CSD, GPRS, Voice and 3G – covering everything from occasional small bursts of data over SMS, to extended video downloads over 3G.
• Widespread technology uptake, minimising hardware costs.
• Compatibility across different countries world wide – develop once, deploy many times.
• Flexible back end services allowing connection into multiple IP networks.
• Continued network investment and upgrades – assuring long term product viability.
