Twilio announced a major expansion of the company's IoT offerings with the launch of Microvisor, an IoT connectivity and device management platform that offers embedded developers a one stop shop for building connected devices, keeping them secure, and managing them through their lifetime.

Twilio aims to significantly accelerate IoT adoption by providing as much critical but common infrastructure as possible, so that IoT teams can focus on delivering unique value to businesses and consumers.

"While Super SIM solved the cellular connectivity challenge for IoT builders, we quickly learned that customers were still wrestling with the other foundational aspects of embedded software that are unique to IoT," said Evan Cummack, general manager of Twilio IoT. "Microvisor is the only platform that offers embedded developers the conveniences of a fully managed IoT platform, while giving them the freedom to craft their embedded software exactly how they've always done."

In order to deploy a fleet of connected devices, IoT builders have to solve for device security, reliable connectivity, over-the-air firmware upgrades and connectivity issues - all of which require specific domain expertise and none of which contribute to the product experience of a device.

Microvisor brings the agility and resiliency of cloud computing to the world of embedded devices and IoT. In order to build the world's leading customer engagement platform, Twilio developed deep expertise interfacing with telecommunications networks around the world - this expertise enabled Twilio to make Super SIM the best option for global cellular IoT connectivity.
