Streamlining global event connectivity with Telnyx

Clair Global, with its rich history of over fifty years in delivering portable connection services for live events worldwide, faced a significant operational challenge due to its complex network of carrier partnerships. Each carrier came with its own SIM card, billing system, and account manager, leading to substantial operational overhead. The company's involvement in large-scale events like Coachella and the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix necessitated a seamless and reliable connectivity solution that could operate consistently across various global locations. Managing different SIMs, juggling data limits, and handling diverse billing systems across numerous carriers presented a logistical headache for Clair Global, hindering their ability to provide the high-quality, reliable service required for the success of large-scale productions.

The transition to Telnyx IoT SIM Cards and SIP Trunking marked a transformative solution for Clair Global, simplifying their previously complex network of providers into a single, global carrier relationship. This shift enabled access to over 400 network providers across more than 180 countries with just one multi-tenant SIM card, eliminating the need for swapping and tracking SIM cards based on geographical location. The utilization of the Telnyx Mission Control Portal further streamlined the management of data limits and billing, significantly reducing the time spent on SIM card management by 70%, according to Spencer Lowe, DevOps Manager at Clair Global. This strategic move not only alleviated operational burdens but also enhanced Clair Global’s ability to focus on delivering exceptional service to its customers.
