Building the Future of Connected Ranching with iSIM

Inside the Kigen x 701x Success Story

Across the vast landscapes of modern cattle ranching, connectivity is everything. Tracking animal health, movement, and safety in real time can transform the way producers protect and manage their herds. Yet in remote environments, connectivity gaps, harsh conditions, and complex hardware supply chains make reliable data collection a major challenge.

That’s where 701x saw an opportunity — and turned to Kigen’s iSIM technology to make it possible. Together, they reimagined livestock management with a compact, solar-powered, and globally connected solution designed to thrive where traditional connectivity falls short.

The result? A breakthrough in iSIM for connected ranching — combining dual cellular and satellite connectivity, power efficiency, and intelligent data insights to deliver unprecedented visibility across herds and landscapes.

This case study explores how 701x and Kigen collaborated to overcome real-world design and supply challenges, enabling smarter, more sustainable ranching.

Bringing a customer perspective – 701x

Working with Kigen as our trusted iSIM partner was a game-changer. Because they brought us a fully integrated architecture, connectivity, module, and security, 701x was able to move from prototype to final design in record time. Our ranching customers cannot work with 50% of the data missing, especially when you cannot predict where your cattle population will be in the moments that truly matter. This is the key reason that led us to consider how we leverage network availability and resiliency. Just as important, Kigen turned what had been a procurement headache into a seamless process that made innovation faster and easier. – Cole Mehring, Head of Electronic Design at 701x
