A system and method for programmatically managing device connectivity to a network that includes provisioning connectivity devices with an account of a communication platform, where for a set of the connectivity devices, provisioning includes uniquely associating network operating identifiers of each of the connectivity devices with a corresponding programmatic device resource in the communication platform, setting communication metering properties in a programmatic connectivity plan resource in the communication platform and associating the connectivity plan resource to at least a subset of the device resources of the connectivity devices, and activating network communication status of the connectivity devices; servicing communications from the connectivity devices; and programmatically managing the communications from the connectivity devices through at least the device resources and the connectivity plan resources.

System and method for programmatic device connectivity

A core provider predicts that a device will enter an area of poor coverage by a wireless network provider. Based on the prediction, one or more rules are applied to prioritize data traffic to be received prior to entering the area of poor coverage. The prediction that the device will enter the area of poor coverage may be based on cell coverage data received from the wireless network provider, connection quality data received from other devices, a location of the device, a speed of the device, a direction of the device, or any suitable combination thereof. A route of the device may be changed to avoid or minimize an amount of time in the area of poor coverage. As another alternative, the device may be switched from the wireless network provider to another wireless network with better coverage.
