Hologram is a company that looks to provide a toolkit to help creators and engineers connect their devices with wireless data and manage billings. The company was founded by Benjamin Forgan in 2013, in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Hologram's cellular connectivity platform is designed to connect devices, capture data, and manage fleets through a cloud-friendly platform that can connect any device to the internet and route incoming and outgoing messages.

Platform

The platform that Hologram provides allows for instant connectivity and scalability to help its users build businesses or projects across devices. Hologram SIMs are able to automatically switch networks to provide coverage across more than 470 carriers, in over 200 countries. The SIM cards offered by the company are hardware-agnostic and work with any cellular IoT device.

Cellular IoT

Hologram's platform operates on a cellular IoT platform using the company's SIM card, which can connect devices using 2G to 4G LTE and newer CAT-M and eSIM technologies. The company offers coverage in 200 countries with more than 470 carriers they rely on. And the SIM cards issued by the company are eUICC-capable and can be remotely updated and available in both triple-cut card and MFF2 embedded form factors.

Through this network, when using an IoT system in a carrier dark zone, the company will switch carriers in order to ensure devices do not lose connectivity. To continue this feature, the company has worked to develop partnerships with carriers in order to provide a single, global IoT connectivity platform that allows companies to scale their IoT platform as they grow.

Dashboard

Hologram offers an IoT dashboard to allow users to have visibility into real-time fleet health, data limits, and device usage. This includes alerts about devices and their status, so organizations can react as necessary and track the health of the overall fleet of devices. The dashboard also gives users a place to track the amount of data they have used and any limits on the data, along with usage alerts.

The dashboard can offer email notifications, alerts for moving SIMs between devices, and usage threshold alerting, automatic alerting and monitoring, different integrations, and device history information.
