LAS VEGAS – SORACOM, Inc., provider of the leading cloud-native communication platform for IoT, today announced at AWS re:Invent that its SORACOM platform has been extended to support customers and partners deploying IoT solutions in the United States.

"Our cloud-first approach is the right fit for both enterprises and startups seeking to deploy secure and scalable IoT experiences in the U.S."

Partners delivering solutions in the U.S. welcomed news of the SORACOM platform’s extension.

“Together with Cradlepoint 3G/4G LTE routers, the SORACOM platform provides enterprise customers with a global IoT network that can be rapidly deployed, centrally managed and secured end-to-end,” said Todd Krautkremer, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Strategic Partnerships at Cradlepoint. “Since both companies utilize a cloud-native platform, customers can seamlessly integrate their connected devices with Amazon AWS IoT computing and data management solutions.”

"Optex sensors are used in crime prevention, automatic doors, FA, environmental measurements, etc. throughout North America" said Mr. Toru Kamimura, Director, Executive Officer and General Business Strategy Manager of Optex Co., Ltd. "This platform extension allows Optex to simplify production and reduce operational overhead for global deployments.”

"Plat'Home Corporation celebrates the start of SORACOM service in the U.S.," said Mr. Tomoyasu Suzuki, President and CEO of Plat'Home Ltd. "Our OpenBlocks palm-sized IoT gateways are built in Japan and used worldwide. SORACOM's expanded availability makes it easy for Plat'Home to promote IoT connectivity in North America and around the world."

"SORACOM is particularly convenient to manage, and the flexible fee structure is attractive as well," said Mr. Taizo Otsuka, President and CEO of Kakaxi, Inc.
