Case Study:
Empowering Althea with Conekt’s Intelligent Connectivity
Customer Profile:
Althea is an innovator in decentralized telecom infrastructure, pioneering blockchain-based payment and settlement frameworks for broadband and mobile connectivity. With a mission to democratize internet access and drive sustainable telecom economics, Althea required a scalable, enterprise-grade connectivity backbone to integrate with its 5G Core while maintaining flexibility, cost efficiency, and global reach.
The Challenge
As Althea expanded its telecom infrastructure to support enterprise 5G deployments, several key challenges emerged:
Global Roaming and Interoperability
Enterprises demanded seamless connectivity across CBRS, licensed/unlicensed spectrum, and international markets.
Device and SIM Lifecycle Complexity
Managing thousands of IoT and cellular-enabled devices required automation, dynamic policy enforcement, and simplified provisioning.
Network Fragmentation
Public, private, and hybrid networks introduced inconsistent user experiences and operational overhead, and many more expansions.
Security & Compliance
Regulatory environments across geographies (HIPAA, GDPR, CMMC) required integrated compliance and secure data management.
The Solution
Conekt + Althea 5G Core Althea integrated Conekt’s Connectivity Management Platform (CMP), Edge Intelligence Module (EIM), and Enterprise Private Networks into its 5G Core. This unified approach delivered:
Conekt CMP (Connectivity Management Platform)
Zero-touch SIM & device provisioning (CBRS, eSIM, Private SIM). Lifecycle management with policy-based automation. Global roaming enablement with Althea’s decentralized payments. Benefit to Althea: Reduced OPEX, simplified device onboarding, and expanded global enterprise customer reach.
Conekt eIM
Managing eSIM profiles across global IoT deployments. Built on the SGP.32 standard, eIM enables secure, remote provisioning and lifecycle management of SIM profiles, designed for constrained devices and optimized for scale.
Conekt Private Networks
