The Internet of Things (IoT), as a representative of the new generation of information technology, is triggering a profound industrial transformation globally. With the popularization of technologies such as 5G and AI, the number of IoT devices has surged, and the demand for connection management has become increasingly complex. Enterprises urgently require stable, reliable, and low-cost IoT connection services, especially in fields such as smart cities, smart healthcare, smart wearables, smart finance, and smart security.
With the rapid development of global IoT technology, IoT connection management services have become an important support for enterprises going global. Wuxi Zhonggeng IoT Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhonggeng Technology”), as a provider focused on IoT connectivity and industry vertical solutions, has emerged in the international market with its deep industry accumulation, comprehensive resource layout, and all-scenario solutions, becoming a trusted IoT partner for many enterprises and building a stable and efficient “digital bridge” for global IoT business implementation.
Genetic Foundation: Originating from the Industry, Serving the Industry
Founded in 2017, Zhonggeng Technology has had a clear positioning of “deeply cultivating the IoT” since its inception. Its core team comes from operators and telecom equipment manufacturers, possessing not only a deep understanding of the technical logic of communication networks but also a keen insight into the real pain points enterprises face in implementing IoT.
This “industry-originated” gene has allowed Zhonggeng Technology to establish a foothold from the very beginning: on one hand, it has established deep cooperation with domestic and international Tier-1 operators (such as China Telecom Tianyi IoT, China Mobile CMI, Japan’s KDDI, Singapore’s Singtel, etc.), connecting the critical links from network resources to service implementation; on the other hand, it focuses on vertical fields such as smart cities, smart healthcare, smart wearables, and smart finance, serving hundreds of enterprise clients and connecting millions of terminal devices, forming a closed-loop verification of “technology – resources – scenarios”.
Global Resource Coverage:Local Direct Signing + Roaming Supplementation, Building a Seamless Connection Network
The core pain point of IoT global expansion lies in balancing “connection quality” and “coverage breadth”. Zhonggeng Technology perfectly addresses this challenge through a dual strategy of “local resource cultivation + roaming resource supplementation”.
In terms of local resource layout, Zhonggeng Technology targets popular overseas regions and achieves “direct signing cooperation” with leading local operators: in the Japanese market, it has a direct signing with KDDI, ensuring low latency and high stability for business in Japan while catering to the online sales needs of travel consumption cards; in Southeast Asia, it partners with TRUE and Singtel, leveraging the subnet resources of New Telecom Asia to cover core markets such as Thailand and Indonesia, meeting local connection needs for smart security and consumer electronics; in Europe, it has direct signings with T-Mobile and KPN, and in North America, it has direct signings with T-Mobile, providing high-quality 4G/5G services across Europe and the US for bandwidth and latency-sensitive applications such as vehicle networking and video surveillance. Currently, cooperation in regions such as Africa (MTN) and South America (Telefonica) is also actively being negotiated, with global layout continuing to deepen.
On the roaming resource side, Zhonggeng Technology collaborates deeply with MVNOs like TATA and Ooredoo, fully leveraging the advantages of their fiber optic networks and nodes—over 500,000 kilometers of submarine fiber and 210,000 kilometers of terrestrial fiber—significantly shortening the detour paths for roaming, achieving “comparable local card” traffic services. Whether for multinational deployments of enterprise devices or communication needs of tourists traveling abroad, users can enjoy high bandwidth, low latency, and high-priority QOS guarantees, completely eliminating the troubles of “cross-border connection lag”.
Meanwhile, Zhonggeng Technology’s infrastructure layout is even more robust: regional core networks cover Europe/Africa (UK, Netherlands), Asia/Oceania (Indonesia, Singapore, Australia), North America/South America (USA, Canada), with plans to expand to Japan and Africa; regional PoP access points are spread across more than 10 countries and regions including China, India, Singapore, Netherlands, and South Africa, forming a three-tier network support of “core network – access points – terminals” to solidify the technical foundation for global connectivity.
Comprehensive Business Matrix: From B-end Solutions to C-end Consumer Services, Covering All Scenarios of Going Global
Zhonggeng Technology’s core competitiveness lies in its breaking of “single business barriers” and constructing a comprehensive business matrix that links “B-end + C-end” to meet the diverse overseas needs of different clients.
▲ Core overseas sales products
1. Overseas IoT: Safeguarding Enterprises Going Global
For the device networking needs of enterprises going global, Zhonggeng Technology has launched the “Overseas IoT SIM Card” solution, covering core scenarios such as vehicle networking (two-wheeled/four-wheeled), video surveillance, and new energy. The card types include plug-in cards and chip cards, adaptable to different terminal devices; the accompanying “Global IoT Connection Management Platform” enables real-time monitoring of devices, traffic management, and data analysis, allowing enterprises to easily control the status of global devices. Currently, this business has served key clients such as Seres, Shaanxi Automobile (vehicle networking), and Ezviz (video surveillance), becoming the “core engine” for the globalization of enterprise IoT business.
2. Overseas Travel Card: Ensuring Worry-Free Communication for Short-Term Travel
Targeting short-term travelers such as independent travelers and tour groups, Zhonggeng Technology provides global mobile SIM card communication services, reaching users through offline travel agencies, Thai e-commerce, and individual channels, with 24/7 remote operation support. Whether for high-speed internet while traveling in Japan or local communication during trips in Southeast Asia, users can enjoy stable services at low costs, making it a “communication necessity” in travel consumption scenarios.
3. Overseas E-commerce: Focusing on Southeast Asia, Creating an Integrated Experience of “Devices + Services”
Aiming at the blue ocean of Southeast Asian e-commerce, Zhonggeng Technology starts from Thailand, selling 3C products such as cameras, locators, and AI toys through mainstream platforms like SHOPEE, TK, and LAZADA. Its differentiated advantage lies in “integrated product forms”—each device comes with a SIM card and a dedicated app, allowing users to achieve “ready-to-use” upon purchase without additional configuration; at the same time, the e-commerce customer service team follows up throughout the process, solving logistics and usage issues, providing a “worry-free” consumption experience for C-end users. This “hardware + connectivity + software” model has also allowed Zhonggeng Technology to quickly establish a foothold in the Southeast Asian 3C e-commerce market.
Robust Technical Services: 24/7 Response, Building Service Barriers with a “Customer-Centric” Approach
The stability of IoT business relies on the dual guarantee of “technology + service”. Zhonggeng Technology’s investment in this area reflects its “long-termism” service philosophy.

At the technical platform level, three core platforms continue to iterate: the “Global IoT Connection Management Platform” achieves full lifecycle management of devices, traffic, and data; the “Consumer Traffic Management Platform” supports traffic billing and service operations for travel cards and e-commerce products; the “IoT Device and Data Management Platform” provides enterprise clients with precise device status monitoring and data analysis. All three platforms adopt a microservices architecture, featuring high configurability, scalability, and customizability, enabling rapid adaptation to the personalized needs of different industry clients.
In terms of service support, Zhonggeng Technology has built a “multi-level response system”: a 24/7 operation team monitors network status in real-time, ensuring second-level response to issues; dedicated support teams for key clients provide “one-on-one” services, deeply understanding client business needs; local customer service teams cover major global markets, addressing various issues users encounter. This “technical safety net + service follow-up” model ensures that clients, regardless of which country or industry they are in, can enjoy “uniform high-quality service”.
Ecological Collaboration for Win-Win: Connecting Partners, Expanding New Spaces for IoT Global Expansion
Zhonggeng Technology understands that IoT global expansion is not a “lone battle” but an “ecological win-win”. Based on this concept, it actively builds a diversified cooperation network, jointly exploring market value with partners in the industry chain.
In cooperation with operators, Zhonggeng Technology is not only a “resource connector” but also a “service extender”—deeply collaborating with provincial companies of China Telecom (Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong) and China Mobile (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Chongqing) to supplement the resources for IoT global expansion, providing operators with a flexible cooperation model of “framework base price + independent sales” to help them expand overseas business; direct signing cooperation with overseas operators such as Japan’s KDDI and Southeast Asia’s Singtel precisely matches local resources with the overseas needs of Chinese enterprises, achieving “mutual empowerment”.
In cooperation with enterprise clients, Zhonggeng Technology focuses on “industry deep cultivation”—providing customized connection solutions for the vehicle networking industry to ensure real-time vehicle positioning and data transmission; optimizing bandwidth allocation for the video surveillance industry to ensure clear and smooth images; and expanding business coverage for the two-wheeled electric vehicle industry through channel collaboration. This “industry-specific, customized” cooperation model positions Zhonggeng Technology as a “strategic partner” for enterprises going global, rather than merely a “supplier”.
Additionally, Zhonggeng Technology has also reached cooperation expectations with platforms like Fliggy, leveraging Fliggy’s overseas customer resources and its own SIM card service capabilities to jointly create an integrated solution of “travel + communication”, providing tourists with a more convenient travel experience. This “cross-industry collaboration” has also allowed Zhonggeng Technology’s business boundaries to continuously expand, extending from “IoT connectivity” to “digital life services”.
