Breaking language barriers with IoT Translation

A significant area of focus within Consumer Electronics in recent years has become real-time language translation devices. In the past, translation devices and apps were standalone tools that depended on pre-installed dictionaries or limited language databases. As globalization accelerates, the demand for communication tools grows, driven by increasing cross-border travel, international business, and diverse cultural exchanges. Today, smart translation has evolved to utilize internet connectivity through various channels, such as Wi-Fi and cellular networks, allowing for real-time translation using extensive online resources.

Background

Founded in 2022, Pocketalk Corporation is a Japanese born company that provides AI-powered translation devices worldwide. The Pocketalk series, which includes models like Pocketalk S, and Pocketalk S Plus, as well as software solutions as Pocketalk Ventana (centralized administrative panel for devices) are designed to break down language barriers with instant, two-way translation capabilities. Their new generation of Pocketalk S2 translation devices comes with enhanced features like automatic detection of two pre-selected languages, extended battery life, and integration with Pocketalk Ventana  for secure management of conversation data. Pocketalk needed a solution that could help their Pocketalk S2 model function simply and securely around the world.

Challenge

Pocketalk S2 is intended for real-time global use, but the company faced the challenge of ensuring reliable connectivity for users across almost all regions. Furthermore, Pocketalk was particularly focused on reducing the complexities associated with managing large volumes of SIM cards while minimizing the associated operational costs.

Solution

The partnership with 1NCE allowed Pocketalk to expand its network reach from 144 to more than 170 countries and regions, enabling global translation for users of the Pocketalk S2. In addition, the company reduced its connectivity costs with the 1NCE Lifetime Flat model while maintaining high service standards. Managing abundant projected SIM cards in future became much simpler. Pocketalk S2 users can now access secure, real-time translation in diverse customer use cases, such as travel, customer service, education and corporate settings.

''By adopting 1NCE for Pocketalk S2, we are able to realize implementation benefits in terms of quality, price, and operation. 1NCE has enabled us to provide better services to our customers.''
