Cavli Wireless operates on a 'Connectivity as a Service' (CaaS) model, which bundles hardware, global data connectivity, and a cloud management platform into a single subscription. This approach is designed for IoT product makers and enterprises, allowing them to build, connect, and scale their solutions without the complexity of sourcing components from multiple vendors. The company’s clients span various industries, including smart city applications, industrial automation, logistics, transportation, and healthcare. Revenue is generated through this subscription-based model, which offers a streamlined alternative to the high initial capital expenditure typically associated with IoT deployments.
The core of Cavli's offering is its C-Series of smart cellular modules. These modules are equipped with integrated eSIMs (embedded SIMs) and are pre-loaded with global connectivity, supporting a wide range of network technologies such as 4G LTE, 5G, LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network), and NB-IoT. A key differentiator is the Cavli Hubble platform, a cloud-based system that allows clients to manage their entire fleet of connected devices from a single interface. This platform enables device monitoring, remote diagnostics, over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates, and subscription management. By partnering with over 60 telecom operators worldwide, Cavli ensures local data rates in more than 160 countries, eliminating roaming fees and simplifying global deployments. In July 2023, the company secured $10 million in a Series A funding round led by Chiratae Ventures and Qualcomm Ventures, aimed at expanding its product portfolio, enhancing R&D, and deepening its manufacturing base in India.
