How Versatile Ensures Reliable Connectivity with Monogoto Private LTE in Zero-Coverage Construction Sites

Versatile, a leader in construction technology, equips tower cranes with IoT devices that collect real-time operational data. These devices rely on cellular connectivity to transmit insights that help construction teams improve productivity, sequencing, and safety.

When one of Versatile’s U.S. deployments encountered a site with no public cellular coverage, their devices could not connect, despite functioning flawlessly in all other regions. Instead of redesigning hardware or modifying device firmware, Versatile turned to Monogoto’s hybrid connectivity platform to restore service instantly and future-proof their operations.

Versatile can now deploy its product anywhere in the world, regardless of local infrastructure limitations. This capability not only ensures uninterrupted data flow but also strengthens customer trust by guaranteeing performance even in harsh or unpredictable environments.

Whizz supports independent delivery contractors to get access to expensive equipment needed for work when traditional financing is not an option.

The Challenge

Construction sites are dynamic, remote, and unpredictable. At this specific project site:

All major mobile operators had zero usable coverage.
Versatile’s cranes needed continuous, reliable connectivity to transmit data.
The existing device BOM and radio hardware could not be changed, as thousands of units are already deployed globally.
Customers required a fast solution without redesigning or replacing crane-mounted equipment.

Traditionally, lack of local coverage would force the company to redesign hardware, install new radios, or deploy expensive temporary infrastructure. Versatile needed a smarter, more scalable alternative.

The Solution

Private LTE Using the Same Devices and Same BOM

Monogoto deployed a private 4G/LTE network at the construction site to create full local coverage, allowing Versatile to use their existing crane-mounted devices without any hardware changes.

The Results

Achieved 100% operational connectivity in a location previously considered unreachable.
Preserved Versatile’s investment in existing hardware and global fleet.
Delivered a scalable blueprint for future construction sites with limited or no operator coverage.
Validated the power of Monogoto’s hybrid public, private, and satellite architecture.

"Full connectivity in a zero-coverage site, without changing our hardware, is exactly the kind of resilience we need to scale globally."

Versatile Team

This use case demonstrates Monogoto’s philosophy of connectivity without constraints.

Hybrid Network Architecture
Monogoto allows customers to blend public cellular, private LTE/5G, satellite backhaul, and local breakout all under one SIM, one platform, and one API. Versatile proved that the same device can operate on both public and private networks with zero friction.
Resilience in Challenging Environments
Whether the site is remote, rural, or shielded by structures, Monogoto ensures connectivity continues, independent of operator coverage.
No Hardware Redesign
Keeping the same BOM, devices, and modem architecture greatly reduces time-to-market, cost, and deployment friction.
Future-Proofing IoT Deployments
As customers expand, their connectivity needs evolve. With Monogoto, customers automatically gain additional network options, coverage redundancy, the ability to use private networks when public networks fail and multi-technology steering and network preference logic. This ensures long-term operational continuity as conditions change.
