Ultra-Efficiency
Cellular IoT
Traditional Internet protocol stacks (TCP-based) include regular keep-alives that fit to "always on" network models. However, being very greedy in terms of number and volume of messages exchanged, they quickly wipe out the benefits of technologies dedicated to IoT like NB-IoT and LTE-M.

Best in class cellular connectivity with SCHC
Efficient secure NB-IoT
Acklio SCHC enables secure deployments on NB-IoT & LTE-M with +60% measured gains on live deployments.
Fix connectivity issues at scale
With SCHC, the radio is always used as efficiently as possible, which is particularly crucial for devices in suboptimal radio conditions.
Secure and optimized in every way
Improve battery lifespan
From a device perspective, compressing a byte with Acklio SCHC requires 500 times less energy than transmitting it over the network.Acklio extends the life of objects by 20 to 80% depending on use cases.
Solve connectivity issues
SCHC reduces the volume of data and the number of messages sent over the air to the theoretical limit. Then, the radio use is always as efficient as possible - particularly crucial for devices in suboptimal radio conditions.
Get the most out of NB-IoT
Addressing energy efficiency requires a lot of fine-tuning (PSM, eDRX, NIDD), which in turn varies by network and region. SCHC ensures dynamic optimization to always get the best performance from your network.
Boost network capacity
Acklio SCHC helps reduce the load of each device on the network. This way, you can multiplies the number of devices that can be served by the same infrastructure.
Cut connectivity costs
By combining lower data consumption on the user side and higher network capacity on the operator side, SCHC not only lowers the energy impact of a deployment. It cuts the cost of connectivity per device.
Improve reliability
Make good use of the bandwidth freed up by the amount of data saved by SCHC compression, SCHC also includes retransmission and error correction mechanisms.
"Once deployed at large scale, SCHC will unlock a technical barrier that has threatened to stall Internet of Things (IoT) traction by directly addressing the inherent limited throughput and capacity of NB-IoT and lack of Internet Protocol (IP) interoperability of some LPWANs."

Efficient and reliable communication
SCHC enables an efficient TCP/IP that fits NB-IoT operations. Indeed, TCP, designed for "always on" connectivity models with keep alive, is at scale way too overly talkative for NB-IoT. Alternatively, Acklio SCHC carries the most optimized and reliable version of UDP/IP, with services equivalent to TCP.
