Stream Technologies

What Stream Technologies does

Pelion (operating under the legal entity Stream Technologies) is a managed IoT connectivity provider and an operating entity within Arm's IoT services portfolio. The company sells global cellular connectivity to enterprises deploying IoT devices, anchored by eUICC-enabled multi-network IoT SIM cards that support remote provisioning and over-the-air (OTA) updates, eliminating the physical SIM-swap cycle. Connectivity is delivered over 4G/LTE, 5G, NB-IoT, and CAT-M1/LTE-M, with claimed access to more than 600 networks across more than 150 countries through direct carrier partnerships with AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Three (CK Hutchison), Tele2, and Tellus.

The product portfolio extends beyond connectivity to a software platform. The Pelion Portal is a centralized connectivity management tool for SIM fleet visibility, usage monitoring, spend controls, and OTA updates. Pelion also offers APIs and cloud integrations, IoT security (VPN and dual IPsec tunneling), monitoring and reporting modules, reliability/uptime tooling, and a Consumer eSIM for IoT product targeting eSIM-only devices. Solution pages are organized both by need (roaming, high and low bandwidth, cellular fallback and resiliency, global deployments, SIM migration, 2G/3G sunset) and by vertical (Transport, Asset Tracking & Logistics, Fleet Management, EV Charging, Energy & Utilities, Industrial IoT, Smart Cities & Security, POS & Retail, Healthcare, Micromobility), indicating a vertical-segmented go-to-market layered on top of a horizontal connectivity platform.

Pelion operates as a private company, generating revenue primarily through subscription-based managed connectivity services with usage-based and tiered pricing structured to data volume and coverage requirements. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales ("Talk to our experts"), a digital self-serve free trial pathway for evaluation, and carrier channels for global reach. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; enterprise plans are quote-based, typically billed annually. The company holds UK-based accreditations (Intertek, UKAS, Cyber Essentials) and maintains a developer documentation site at help.pelion.com alongside corporate presence on LinkedIn and YouTube.
