-of-Art IoT Device Design

Our Connected Operations Platform is open and flexible, ingesting and synthesizing data from IoT and connected assets, whether they are from the customer or provided by Samsara.

Our IoT devices are designed for ease of installation, value, reliability, and connectivity. Our solution is typically self-installed and can be fully deployed and configured in as little as one hour. Our IoT devices are designed to last several years in the field and generally include dual-SIM cards for greater flexibility to connect to the best available network.

We generally use off-the-shelf components and outsource the manufacturing of our IoT devices to joint design manufacturers headquartered in Taiwan, with manufacturing locations for mass production in various regions of Asia. We believe that using outsourced manufacturing partners enables greater scale and flexibility at lower costs than establishing our own manufacturing facilities. Our use of off-the-shelf components requires that we rely on the inventory availability of third parties, which may be affected by global component shortages. We expect that the need for our IoT devices will diminish over time if physical asset OEMs begin to produce connected assets that can connect to our Connected Operations Platform without additional IoT devices provided by us.

Privacy and Security by Design

We have designed and developed our Connected Operations Platform from the ground up with privacy and security in mind.

We provide customers with customizable privacy control measures, features, and tools to help them meet specific privacy requirements, standards, and applicable jurisdiction-specific legislation to which they may be subject (including, for example, the GDPR, UK GDPR, UK DPA, and CCPA, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”)). Our teams conduct privacy impact assessments, monitor guidance from industry and privacy experts, and interpret privacy legislation from relevant regulatory bodies. We use this input to update the privacy features of our Connected Operations Platform, develop new features and Applications, and give our customers the tools they need to meet their data protection and privacy goals.

Our Connected Operations Platform is designed to deliver a robust and ready-to-use security infrastructure to our customers, who can leverage our features to enhance their own security programs without needing to have deep security expertise. We use industry standards and protocols to protect customer data, whether in transit (including TLS 1.2 and 256-bit AES encryption) or at rest in our hosted infrastructure (including FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption standards). Our security program is designed to identify and mitigate risks, and we look to evaluate and implement best practices and ways to improve
