Products and Services
[edit]1GLOBAL provides connectivity services and telecommunications technology to businesses. It involves solutions for consumer devices: including smartphones, tablets, wearables etc., as well as IoT devices such as cameras, trackers, sensors etc. It's portfolio is catered to different types of industries and B2B use cases:
1GLOBAL provides cellular voice and data services for employee smartphones, tablets and other connected devices. The services are available through physical SIM cards and eSIMs and services are split between prepaid data plans and postpaid plans.
As of 2026, the company states that its services currently provide connectivity coverage in more than 190 countries through 600 mobile networks and can include local telephone numbers in ten countries. The company’s mobile plans are aimed at multinational organisations that manage employees across several countries.[15]
1GLOBAL provides communications-recording and analytics services for regulated organisations and other businesses that need to capture, retain and analyse employee communications.
The services support the recording of mobile voice calls, SMS messages and supported communications conducted through collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams and Whatsapp. Recordings can be stored in 1GLOBAL’s cloud environment or transferred to a customer-operated archive or compliance platform.
2.1. Mobile recording for compliance
[edit]The communications-recording service is primarily intended for financial institutions and other organisations subject to regulatory record-keeping and monitoring requirements under regulations like MiFID II, Dodd Frank Act - among others.[17]
Supported business calls and messages are captured at the mobile-network level rather than traditionally through an application installed on the employee’s device. Use cases can involve using the recordings for internal monitoring, investigations, regulatory reporting and the reconstruction of communications involving employees, clients and counterparties. The service can be integrated with external archiving, surveillance and compliance systems through application programming interfaces.
2.2. AI-powered transcription and communications analytics
[edit]1GLOBAL’s communications-analytics services convert recorded voice communications into searchable, time-stamped transcripts. The system can support automated transcription, translation, call summaries, keyword and phrase searches, speaker identification and contextual (sentiment) analysis. Businesses can use these functions to identify recurring topics, customer concerns, potential conduct risks and patterns within recorded employee communications.
Transcripts and related metadata can be exported or integrated with customer-relationship-management, compliance, surveillance and business-intelligence systems.
1GLOBAL provides cellular connectivity for Internet of Things devices, including payment terminals, asset trackers, cameras, sensors, shared-mobility vehicles and connected products supplied by equipment manufacturers. Its IoT services support physical SIM cards and eSIMs and cellular technologies including 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G and LTE-M (subject to network availability).
The company uses multi-IMSI technology to allow compatible devices to connect to supported networks across different countries. This is intended for device fleets that operate internationally or require access to more than one mobile network. Customers are offered the abilities to manage SIM cards, eSIMs, subscriptions, data consumption and device lifecycles through a IoT connectivity-management platform or through APIs. Available management functions include device activation and suspension, usage reporting, account permissions, notifications, audit records, bulk operations and automation rules that respond to abnormal usage, device changes or location changes.
1GLOBAL supplies eSIM-management software and telecommunications infrastructure to other mobile network operators and mobile virtual network operators.
It includes consumer remote SIM provisioning based on the GSMA SGP.22 specification, an eSIM IoT Manager based on SGP.32, machine-to-machine remote SIM provisioning based on SGP.02 and a device-entitlement server. These systems allow operators to create, distribute and manage eSIM profiles, support digital customer onboarding and control access to network-supported services on compatible devices.
1GLOBAL provides telecommunications infrastructure that allow other consumer facing businesses to incorporate mobile connectivity into their own applications and offer the resulting service under their own brands. The service is intended but not limited to businesses in sectors including financial technology, travel, aviation, retail and hospitality.[22]
Businesses can integrate the service through APIs or distribute eSIMs using QR codes. Depending on the product and country, the underlying infrastructure can include eSIM provisioning, mobile data, voice and SMS, local telephone numbers, roaming, number portability, billing and access to network features such as 5G, Voice over LTE and Wi-Fi calling.
1GLOBAL provides the underlying telecommunications network, software and operational infrastructure, while the partner controls the customer-facing brand, application and commercial proposition.
Summary
