Case Study: Clarity Movement achieves scalable, cost-effective global air quality monitoring with EMnify

How Clarity Brings Scalable Air Quality Monitoring to 85+ Cities Worldwide With Emnify

Clarity Movement, a Berkeley-based ambient air quality monitoring company, faced the challenge of making high-resolution, affordable air pollution sensing scalable and deployable in remote and international locations. To overcome connectivity, cost and operational complexity, they partnered with EMnify and used its Global IoT SIMs, emnify Portal and REST API to ensure reliable cellular communications, simplified provisioning, and centralized network control for their Clarity Nodes.

EMnify enabled Clarity Movement to scale deployments rapidly and reduce operational overhead: automatic SIM activation via the REST API cut pre-activation costs, the emnify Portal let non-technical teams troubleshoot and block problematic networks, and global SIM coverage allowed sensors to report from 85+ cities. The partnership delivered measurable impact — a 91% improvement in cities’ air quality data footprint, monitoring enabled for 10+ cities for the first time, and deployments across 55+ countries.
