# Urban-Focused Connectivity Platforms 1NCE Offers a Simplified Pricing Plan for Device Connectivity By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-11-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connectivity-platform References: [1nce](https://www.1nce.com/en-eu/smart-solutions-for-smart-city-1nce)  1NCE provides a connectivity platform specifically designed for Internet of Things devices to offer cellular data services across a wide international footprint. The company's business model is structured around a simplified, lifetime pricing plan for device connectivity, which is intended to support the large-scale and long-term deployment of sensor networks. 1NCE's connectivity platform supports various cellular standards suitable for [low-power devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iridium-module) and incorporates features for remote management and data diagnostics. The service is expected to enable infrastructure for municipal applications such as [intelligent lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-lighting-innovations), utility metering, waste management, and transportation systems. 1NCE's goal, in other words, is to help cities implement these Internet of Things technologies — from simple NB-IoT sensors monitoring parking spaces to more data-intensive LTE-M modules on public transit vehicles — more rapidly and manage them efficiently over their entire lifespan.
