Sektor to distribute iONLINE IoT & SIM solutions in Australia
Sektor has been appointed as the official distributor for iONLINE Connected Networks in Australia. The agreement gives Sektor access to iONLINE's full suite of IoT connectivity solutions and its CentralFlex connectivity management platform, which will now be available through Sektor's national network of resellers and channel partners.
Distribution partnership
The partnership expands Sektor's offering in payments and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. It covers the delivery and management of IoT and SIM-based connectivity projects for sectors such as enterprise, retail, logistics, and transport. Sektor will integrate iONLINE's SIM technology into its new PaySuite CONNECT solution, offering both physical SIM and eSIM services for a range of payment terminals and IoT devices.
The collaboration is designed to ensure continuous, reliable connectivity for applications where network uptime is critical, including commerce and payments infrastructure. Sektor intends to use iONLINE's private network and SIM management capabilities to enable customers to deploy large-scale, connected solutions across Australia with centralised control and monitoring.
Technology integration
iONLINE's CentralFlex management platform allows real-time monitoring and optimisation of both SIM and IoT connectivity. The technology stack includes global, multi-carrier FlexiSIM products, as well as eSIM provisioning and automation. These tools are intended to provide flexibility for enterprises looking to operate in environments with diverse network needs.
Sektor's integration of these services into PaySuite CONNECT builds a carrier-neutral network for embedded payments and mobility. This supports faster implementation and higher reliability across payment systems and point-of-sale devices, as well as opportunities to apply IoT solutions in adjacent industries.
Industry applications
By offering a central platform to manage global and regional SIM deployments, Sektor and iONLINE aim to meet demand for scalable connectivity in retail, hospitality, security, and logistics. Their combined offerings extend to tablet computing, enterprise mobility, and internet-enabled infrastructure supporting a wide array of business functions.
The distribution agreement is set to allow Sektor's customers to build and manage more robust payment and commerce applications. It is also positioned to support growth in sectors adopting IoT at scale, with tools for resilience, local data control, and multi-carrier connectivity.
Executive perspectives
"We're thrilled to partner with Sektor, a recognised leader in technology distribution. Sektor shares our vision to simplify connectivity and enable scale for partners and enterprises across the region. Together, we're bringing next-generation SIM, eSIM, and IoT management capabilities to market through a trusted, local channel," said David Farquharson, CEO, iONLINE Connected Networks.
"iONLINE's platform strengthens our connected payments and IoT strategy. By integrating iONLINE into PaySuite CONNECT, we're creating a scalable, carrier-agnostic network for embedded commerce and payments. Beyond payments, this partnership also opens up new opportunities for our tablet, enterprise mobility, and POS customers to deliver faster, more connected, and more reliable solutions - driving growth and innovation across multiple channels," said Matthew Sherwood, GM for Sektor Australia.
