IoT SIM cards for connected devices
Multi-network IoT SIMs switch between providers to prevent downtime
Rugged, industrial-grade SIMs withstand harsh temperatures and environments.
Monitor, manage, and secure your IoT SIM cards with an advanced online portal.

IoT SIM card: why choose one over a standard SIM?
An IoT SIM is built for reliability, durability, and uninterrupted connectivity. They’re ideal for M2M applications. Unlike standard SIMs, they use higher-grade materials to withstand extreme conditions. They last significantly longer as a result, with millions of read/write cycles that reduce the need for replacements.
IoT SIM plans also supply multi-network connectivity. Even if one network fails, devices stay online. Add in flexible data plans to match business needs and an advanced management portal for real-time monitoring, and these SIMs offer the performance and security essential for critical IoT deployments.

The benefits of IoT SIM cards
Reliable, always-on connectivity
IoT SIMs connect to multiple networks. If one network fails, the SIM automatically switches to the strongest available signal to prevent downtime and keep operations running smoothly.
Built for the extreme
Constructed with rugged materials and industrial-grade silicon, an IoT data SIM card can endure harsh vibrations, moisture, and temperatures. From -65°C to +150°C, they remain operational.
Longer lifespan
IoT SIMs support up to 26 million read/write cycles. Their longevity is a significant improvement on consumer SIMs, which reduces replacement costs and improves device reliability.
Flexible data plans
IoT data SIM plans are customisable to your business needs. From usage caps to pooling data across multiple devices, you maximise your budget and avoid unexpected charges.
Advanced security features
Private APN options. VPN support. Remote locking capabilities. These security features prevent unauthorised access and keep your sensitive data safe when being transmitted.
Full visibility and control
Gain real-time insights into SIM usage through an online management portal. You can use this data to set alerts and generate reports.
Advanced IoT SIM management portal
Gain full control over your IoT connectivity with our online management portal. Monitor data usage in real time. Set alerts. Generate reports to track performance across devices. You can even remotely lock SIMs to prevent unauthorised access for added security. Throw in automated management solutions alongside detailed usage insights, and you can also refine operations and avoid unexpected costs.
Whether using a global IoT eSIM for international deployments or managing local devices, this management portal delivers valuable oversight and control for every connected asset.

Flexible IoT SIM plan options for every business
Our SIM for IoT devices offers customisable data plans which adapt to business needs. Forget about rigid packages like with consumer SIMs. An IoT M2M SIM plan allows data pooling across multiple devices. This prevents overages and reduces costs at the same time. Plans also reset every billing period so you only pay for what you use.
With options for 4G and 5G IoT SIM connectivity, businesses can benefit from high-speed data transmission – key for critical applications. These flexible SIM for IoT solutions supply the adaptability required for deployments of any size.

IoT SIM cards use examples

Security and CCTV
A global IoT SIM card enables secure, wireless CCTV connectivity. It means real-time surveillance in remote or urban locations is possible without relying on fixed broadband.

Retail
A 4G IoT SIM enhances inventory management and supply chain visibility. With this SIM, retailers can track stock levels and optimise logistics in real time.

Healthcare
An eSIM for IoT devices supports remote patient monitoring. An IoT eSIM achieves continuous data transmission for wearable health devices and emergency response systems.

Digital advertising
With an eSIM IoT solution, this can enable the remote management of digital signage. You can update advertisements and display content in real-time from a central location.
