Soracom Flux is an IoT automation service that enables business efficiency and automation by combining processes such as notifications and generative AI-based analysis using IoT data collected from sensors, cameras, and other devices.

Using Soracom Flux's app template feature, IoT apps can be created simply by selecting a template optimized for a representative use case. Customers can also customize them as needed with minimal parameter adjustments.

We have now added 5 new app templates:

• Personal weather forecast with GPS Multi Unit
• Detect and notify people count with RTSP-compatible cameras
• Real-time access to SoraCam with LTE-M Button
• Periodically update SoraCam image quality settings
• Detect and notify location information with GPS Multi Unit

For an overview of each template, estimated costs, and specific usage instructions, please visit the IoT Template Gallery (Japanese).

Google Gemini 2.0 Flash and Google Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, two of the AI models available in Soracom Flux AI Actions, will be discontinued by Google on the following dates:

• Google Gemini 2.0 Flash: February 5, 2026
• Google Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite: February 25, 2026

For more information, see Model versions and lifecycle.

As a result, AI actions in Flux apps that utilize these model will be disabled after the discontinuation date.

If you are using Google Gemini 2.0 Flash or Google Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, please switch to another AI model before the discontinuation date.

You can view the available AI models for Soracom Flux AI Actions in the Soracom Flux documentation.

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Soracom previously did not advertise an MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value to devices, so they relied on their implementation defaults (typically 1500 bytes). You can now configure the MTU per SIM group from the Soracom User Console so that the network advertises the value that best fits each deployment.

Why MTU control matters

MTU represents the largest IP packet that can traverse a link without being fragmented. When packets exceed the announced MTU, the cellular network must split them or drop them outright, which adds protocol headers, increases retransmission risk, and can prevent applications from communicating at all. Deployments that rely on VPN tunnels, private routes, or embedded devices with smaller buffers often had to work around the previous fixed MTU, leading to chronic fragmentation and lower throughput.

Benefits of customizing the MTU

By selecting an MTU that matches the rest of your network, you can keep packet sizes consistent end to end and avoid unnecessary fragmentation. Set a smaller value for VPN tunnels or other constrained links, while keeping the default for groups where the entire network between the device and its peers can accommodate larger packets.

Setting the appropriate MTU delivers the following benefits:

• Reduces unnecessary fragmentation and retransmissions, preventing throughput loss on cellular links.
• Prevents packet drops or application outages caused by MTU mismatches, reducing troubleshooting overhead.

Note: Some devices do not support MTU updates advertised by the network and will continue operating with their default value (typically 1500 bytes). Please confirm the device specifications beforehand.

For UI steps, API/CLI payload examples, and tips on verifying the right value (for example with ping), see IP Link MTU Configuration.

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

We are experiencing a service degradation within Russia affecting all MNOs for all Soracom plans. Devices that are configured to connect to these networks with Soracom SIMs may have difficulty attaching.

We are closely monitoring the situation and will make another announcement as soon as more information is available.

Amazon Bedrock – Anthropic Claude 3 Opus, one of the AI models you can select in Soracom Flux AI Actions, will reach end of support on January 15, 2026 (see Amazon Bedrock Model Lifecycle).

Consequently, AI actions in Flux apps that utilize this model will be disabled after January 15, 2026. If you are using Amazon Bedrock – Anthropic Claude 3 Opus, please switch to another AI model by January 15, 2026.

You can view the available AI models for Soracom Flux AI Actions in the Soracom Flux documentation.

We have launched the Soracom IoT Template Gallery (Japanese), where you can easily explore Soracom Flux app templates.

The Soracom IoT Template Gallery allows you to browse a list of Soracom Flux app templates and learn how to get started with each template. Soracom Flux app templates enable you to easily create automated applications optimized for common use cases by utilizing pre-configured templates.

When you select a template, the basic configuration of a Flux app is duplicated, allowing you to start using the Flux app immediately with minimal parameter adjustments. Additionally, by customizing the settings of the created Flux app, you can build applications tailored to your specific needs.

Please take advantage of the Soracom IoT Template Gallery to expand the possibilities of Flux apps. For more details, please visit the Soracom IoT Template Gallery (Japanese).

Please note that this service is currently only available for customers located in Japan.

We are excited to announce that planNT1, Soracom's NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) satellite service subscription plan, is now officially available.

The planNT1 subscription can be added to an existing Soracom plan01s or plan-US IoT SIM through the use of Soracom's Subscription Container feature, enabling satellite coverage in addition to existing cellular networks for devices with 3GPP Release 17 NTN-compliant cellular modules. This allows compatible devices to keep using the extensive cellular network coverage provided by Soracom IoT SIMs while also providing satellite connectivity in other areas, without additional hardware or separate SIM.

As of today, planNT1 provides NTN satellite coverage in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and multiple European countries and cellular coverage in over 90 countries, with additional coverage planned.

For more information, please refer to Soracom Air for Satellite documentation.
