Soracom Cloud MFA, a multi-factor authentication service, is now available.

Soracom Cloud MFA provides secure multi-factor authentication for web services and mobile applications by sending a one-time authentication code to a user's phone via SMS. Application developers can then verify authentication codes in order to confirm users.

With this release, the following APIs are available for integrating Soracom Cloud MFA's SMS-based authentication into existing applications:

• an API to generate authentication codes
• an API to send authentication codes to users using SMS
• an API to validate authentication codes entered by users

For more information on pricing and getting started with the APIs, please refer to the Soracom Cloud MFA product page (Japanese).

We are excited to announce plan-US, a new IoT SIM that provides full nationwide multicarrier 4G, 5G, LTE-M, and NB-IoT coverage in the United States, with monthly data plans available from 1MB up to 10GB, ideal for a wide variety of low-to-high bandwidth and seasonal IoT applications, and suitable for deployments at every stage from prototyping to full deployment.

plan-US includes comprehensive nationwide coverage on major US national carriers as well as regional carriers, even in remote or rural areas. For even more coverage, plan-US also features Soracom's Subscription Container technology, a service that lets customers add additional subscriptions to their plan-US SIMs over-the-air. Adding a plan-US-max subscription enables connectivity on even more carriers in the United States, and adding a plan-US-NA extends coverage to Canada and Mexico.

plan-US is available for US customers starting today in both SIM card and eSIM form factors, and can be purchased from the Soracom User Console.

For pricing and more information, please visit the plan-US product page.

We are pleased to announce that coverage for plan01s is now available in the following countries.

plan01s and plan01s - Low Data Volume

Cameroon, Namibia

For complete details about data rates, supported carriers and radio types, and coverage in other countries, please refer to the Supported Carriers documentation.

Starting this month, a notification email will be sent to the primary email address of your account whenever a plan-KM1 SIM exceeds 1 MiB of data usage during any given month, in order to help identify high data usage.

If you do not need these notifications, you can disable them by opening your Email Settings and checking the Stop sending data usage notifications to the primary email address option. Please note that disabling these notifications will also disable similar notifications for planX3 X3-5MB, plan-D D-300MB, and plan-K2 K2-300MB subscriptions. For more information, please refer to the Data Usage documentation.

If you would like to receive notifications for a different data usage threshold, or if you would like to set up data usage notifications for other subscriptions, you can create a custom Event Handler configuration instead.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Soracom Relay, a new service that enables the secure collection and transfer of video content from RTSP-enabled network cameras to the cloud.

Soracom Relay supports RTSP/RTP protocols for signalling and media transfer, allowing you to remotely trigger video playback or streaming from a Soracom-connected RTSP-enabled network camera and capture the video content for storage or transfer to cloud services. Video content can be stored directly on Harvest Files for easy download directly from the User Console, or transferred to Amazon S3 or Amazon Kinesis Streams for cloud storage or video analysis. Moreover, since Relay takes care of cloud integration functionality, you can use standard RTSP-network cameras that don't have cloud integrations capabilities built-in.

Relay is currently available as a limited preview. If you are interested in using Relay, please sign in to your Soracom account from the User Console, click the Menu button, and select Soracom Relay in order to apply for access.

We greatly welcome your feedback, and are excited to expand the number of supported network cameras, recorders, routers, and forwarding destinations in the future.

For more information, please visit the Soracom Relay page (Japanese).
