5 terms

iot technical

"the global Internet of Things ("IoT") Hyperscaler and a leading provider"

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of everyday devices—such as appliances, vehicles, and equipment—that are connected to the internet and can share data automatically. For investors, IoT represents a growing trend that can drive efficiency and innovation across many industries, potentially creating new opportunities for growth and value. Its expansion influences how companies operate and compete in a digitally connected world.

esim technical

"KORE's connectivity management platform, which includes extensive eSIM capabilities"

An esim is a small, built-in electronic SIM card inside a phone, tablet or connected device that stores mobile network credentials digitally instead of using a removable plastic card. For investors it matters because it changes how carriers sell and manage subscriptions, lowers logistics costs for device makers, enables easier switching between networks or plans (including global roaming), and expands opportunities in Internet-of-Things connectivity and recurring revenue services.

api technical

"all managed through a single contract and API."

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules that allows different software programs to communicate and work together smoothly, much like a waiter translating your order into the kitchen and then bringing your meal back. For investors, APIs are important because they enable real-time access to financial data, trading systems, and other digital services, making it easier to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.

connectivity management platform technical

"KORE's connectivity management platform, which includes extensive eSIM capabilities"

A connectivity management platform is a software service that centrally controls, monitors and configures large numbers of internet-connected devices and their network connections, acting like a traffic controller for data paths, SIMs and wireless links. Investors care because it enables companies to scale services, cut network costs, improve security and create predictable recurring revenue — factors that affect profitability, customer retention and the speed at which new offerings can be launched.

ai-powered analytics technical

"Move & Connect is developing a proprietary AI-powered analytics layer on top"

AI-powered analytics uses artificial intelligence tools to sift through large, varied datasets and surface patterns, trends, forecasts or unusual signals that would be hard for humans to spot on their own. For investors, it speeds research and highlights potential risks or opportunities earlier—like giving a financial detective a faster magnifying glass—helping inform quicker, more data-driven buy, sell, or risk-management decisions.

ATLANTA, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KORE Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KORE), the global Internet of Things ("IoT") Hyperscaler and a leading provider of IoT Connectivity, today announced a strategic alliance with Move & Connect, a French IoT connectivity solutions provider with deep expertise in managed connectivity and regional market deployment. This collaboration combines KORE's robust global network with Move & Connect's dedicated, hands-on market expertise to simplify and strengthen IoT deployments for European businesses in critical sectors such as EV charging, retail and smart farming.

"Our partnership with Move & Connect is a testament to our commitment to the European market and our strategy of combining our global strength with local expertise. Move & Connect's deep understanding of the regional landscape and their hands-on approach are the perfect complements to KORE's robust, global network." said Niklas Ekarv, Managing Director EAP at KORE. "Together, we are not just providing a connectivity solution; we are enabling innovation and empowering businesses across Europe to scale their IoT ambitions with confidence and ease. We are incredibly excited about the opportunities this collaboration will unlock for customers in critical industries."

IoT operators deploying devices across multiple countries have long struggled with a fragmented carrier ecosystem, leading to unreliable connectivity and a lack of unified visibility. For critical infrastructure, any interruption, such as an EV charger going offline or a smart farming robot losing its connection, results in lost revenue and significant operational costs. This alliance directly addresses that challenge by providing a single, resilient connectivity solution.

The partnership provides Move & Connect's European customers access to KORE's seamless global connectivity in more than 190 countries, all managed through a single contract and API. KORE's connectivity management platform, which includes extensive eSIM capabilities, gives Move & Connect the ability and operational control required to serve the demanding needs of its customers.

Move & Connect bridges the gap between this powerful global infrastructure and the operational reality of advanced IoT deployments. By combining its intimate knowledge of customers' devices and geographies with KORE's global reach, Move & Connect offers enterprise-grade connectivity with the responsiveness and expertise of a dedicated local partner.

"KORE's infrastructure gives us the global reach and reliability our customers demand, while their platform gives us the control to build differentiated services on top," said Jérôme Chachuat CEO – Founder, Move & Connect. "KORE is not just a connectivity provider; it is a partner we can innovate with."

Looking ahead, Move & Connect is developing a proprietary AI-powered analytics layer on top of KORE's network data. This platform will provide unprecedented insights to customers, further cementing the Move & Connect's role as a strategic partner beyond simple connectivity.
