Anywheel Pte Ltd & Singtel

With 30,000 bicycles islandwide connected by Singtel Machine-to-Machine (M2M) SIMs, Anywheel is at the forefront of ﬁrst- and last-mile sustainable transportation.

Leveraging Singtel’s robust network meant strong local mobile coverage across all locations. The private, reliable, and secure connectivity allows for frictionless communication between the bicycles, mobile app and management portal. Embedded into every lock are Singtel M2M SIMs that use the CAT-M1 network, which allows for low data usage and power consumption.

Unlike traditional mobile SIMs, Singtel M2M SIMs have unique IP addresses, which make tracking the bicycle and SIM remotely possible.

Htay Aung adds, “Ever since adopting IoT technology in our 4th generation locks, the stability and reliability of our unlocking experience have improved signiﬁcantly, and this has led to higher ridership.”

Manage with ease

With Anywheel’s scale, accurate provisioning and lifecycle management deployed on a large scale islandwide can be tedious and laborious. Singtel SIM Management Platform, a one-stop dashboard, provides network connectivity status and allows monitoring, control, and activation through an easy-to-use web portal. Anywheel was able to unlock new insights into how their bicycles were used and where demand is highest in real-time, as well as how to improve the reliability of their locks.

Going beyond the product, the Singtel M2M team's experience and professionalism have helped Anywheel to achieve a faster rollout and fuss-free deployment exercise.

“From when we reached out to Singtel, the replies were smooth and very clear. And after we onboarded the Singtel M2M SIM cards into our system, the service was even more amazing because there is a very mature and established backend to monitor and manage each SIM card in our devices. Even during COVID, Singtel helped us with the timeline and shipment of the SIM cards to our factory. I would deﬁnitely recommend Singtel to any business that is looking to have M2M SIM cards in their IoT devices.”
