Add a CDP Account
Adding a CDP account connects the IoT.live Portal to your connectivity provider or Connectivity Management Platform (CMP).
Once connected, the platform can synchronise SIM inventory, retrieve usage data, and perform lifecycle operations.

Synchronisation and data availability

- Available features depend on provider capabilities
Some provider platforms support additional functionality such as location services, rate plan management, or eSIM operations.
