Axis Watchdog

Automated overage protection.
Set once, works forever.

Watchdog runs continuously in the background, monitoring usage at the SIM, group, and pool level. The moment a SIM approaches its threshold, it's suspended automatically — before a single byte of overage is generated.

  • Set rules at SIM level or across your entire pool
  • Choose from suspend, warn, or whitelist actions
  • Email and webhook alerts when rules trigger
  • Full trigger history and audit log retained

Self-Serve Portal

Every command.
No ticket. No wait.

The Axis portal puts every SIM operation directly in your hands. Suspend a device, change its data pool, push a remote ping, or update Watchdog rules — all from a browser, in seconds, with no intermediary.

Role-based access
Invite team members with read-only or full-control permissions. Full audit trail of every action taken.
Near real-time data
Usage figures refreshed every 30 minutes via direct usage polling. No waiting 24 hours for yesterday's data.
Bulk operations
Suspend, activate, or reassign hundreds of SIMs at once. Tag by site, device type, or customer.
Live Usage Data

30-minute usage polling.
Not 24-hour-old guesses.

Most carrier portals refresh usage data once a day — or less. By the time you see a spike, the damage is done. Axis polls usage data directly every 30 minutes, so you always have a current picture of every SIM in your estate.

JIT SIM Provisioning

Ship hardware today.
Pay only when it goes live.

Pre-load SIMs into every device at the factory or warehouse. They sit dormant — billing nothing. When a unit is deployed and powered on, activate it instantly via the portal or a single API call.

Step 1

Ship hardware pre-loaded

SIMs are installed at manufacture or in your warehouse. No activation. No billing. They sit dormant.

Step 2

Device is installed on-site

Hardware gets installed. It could be a day later, a month later, or six months later — no costs yet.

Step 3

Activate on go-live day

One click in the portal — or one API call — activates the SIM. Billing starts from that exact moment.

Activate a SIM — REST API POST
curl -X POST https://api.zentarinetworks.com/v1/sims/activate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "iccid": "8944500116728214",
       "pool_id": "fleet-uk-001",
       "watchdog_rule": "high-usage-suspend"
     }'

// Response

  "status": "active",
  "activated_at": "2026-05-19T09:14:32Z",
  "billing_start": "2026-06-01T00:00:00Z"
}
REST API

Everything the portal can do.
Your code can do too.

The Axis REST API exposes every platform capability — SIM management, Watchdog rules, usage data, billing reports — as clean, versioned endpoints. Integrate directly into your own systems, dashboards, or provisioning workflows.

API key auth
Bearer token authentication. Rotate keys from the portal. Scoped read-only or full-access tokens.
Webhooks
Push events to your endpoint when Watchdog rules trigger, SIM status changes, or usage thresholds are crossed.
Versioned endpoints
All endpoints under /v1/. Breaking changes are never silent — new versions alongside stable ones.
Rate limits
1,000 requests/min on standard plans. Bulk endpoints for mass operations up to 500 SIMs per call.
GET /v1/sims
POST /v1/sims/activate
POST /v1/sims/{iccid}/suspend
GET /v1/sims/{iccid}/usage
PUT /v1/watchdog/rules
GET /v1/billing/summary

Pooled Data

One shared allowance.
Predictable bills. No waste.

With individual per-SIM caps, you always overprovision some SIMs and underprovision others. Pooled data eliminates both problems — your entire estate shares one allowance, and Watchdog protects the ceiling.

Individual SIM caps

SIM A Risk of overage
SIM B 88% unused
SIM C 93% unused
SIM D Overage billing now
SIM E 66% unused
SIM D over-cap — unexpected £48 overage charge

Pooled data allowance

Estate Pool — 5 SIMs 62% used
0 GB Combined pool: 25 GB
SIM A uses more — no individual penalty
Idle SIMs contribute their allowance to active ones
Watchdog fires at 80% of pool — not per SIM
One line on invoice: pool usage and total cost
Pool at 62% — Watchdog protected, no surprises
