NExT™ IoT SIMs with Embedded Connectivity

We offer form factor families to support all cellular technologies.

Rely on long product life cycles and a lower total cost of ownership with modules built to last. If you need a replacement, the module form factor or API will be available.

Our IoT modules are certified by more regulatory agencies and mobile operators than any other portfolio. You can leverage module variants to quickly expand into new markets and regions.

Our experts offer ongoing support for your IoT solution. We provide design and schematic reviews and advice on system architecture.

Integrated cryptographic capabilities protect your IoT network from cyberattacks and safeguard the device life cycle. A built-in restricted zone and user application zone harden solution security and reach.

Cellular LPWA IoT solutions have made them affordable and feature-rich for multiple industries. Enterprise-grade IoT can be deployed at scale for low-data, low-power applications. You can engineer your devices to include our cellular module embedded technology for large-scale deployments.

Applications include:

• Telematics, fleet management and usage-based insurance
• Smart metering for utilities, such as electricity, gas and water
• Smart city solutions, such as connected traffic lights and parking meters
• Connected health care and fitness monitoring technology
• Industrial connectivity (industrial IoT)
• Smart homes and buildings, including security alarms and surveillance
• Asset tracking, such as livestock and cold chain
• Smart waste management

eSIMs and embedded connectivity operate best with remote SIM provisioning capabilities. Soldered or embedded SIM cards require the ability to swap connectivity profiles remotely. 

Advantages of our solution include: 

• One SIM card with multiple carrier profiles 

• No SIM swapping, remote provisioning 

• Eliminates costly and time-consuming on-site SIM technical configuration 

• Simplified ongoing operation, removes the need for upgrading devices in the field  

Choosing the right IoT SIM for business and operational needs involves several key factors:

• Coverage: Ensure the SIM provides reliable connectivity in all regions where your devices will operate, including support for multinetwork or global roaming.
• Network type: Match the SIM to your device requirements — whether LTE, 5G, NB-IoT, Cat M1 or another standard.
• Scalability: Look for SIMs that can be easily managed and provisioned in bulk as your deployment grows.
• Form factor and durability: Choose the right SIM size (2FF, 3FF, 4FF or embedded) and ensure it’s built for the environmental conditions your devices face.
• Security features: Consider SIMs with strong authentication, encryption and tamper resistance to protect device data.
• Management tools: Prioritize SIMs that integrate with a reliable platform for real-time monitoring, remote management and automation.
• Commercial flexibility: Opt for SIM providers that offer usage-based plans or dynamic pricing to keep costs aligned with your usage patterns.

Using an eSIM and embedded connectivity solution offers several benefits for IoT deployments:

• Remote provisioning: eSIMs can be programmed and updated over the air. You can switch carriers or profiles without physically accessing the device.
• Simplified logistics: One SIM can support multiple networks and regions, reducing the need to manage different SIM inventories.
• Improved reliability: eSIMs are soldered directly into the device. This offers greater durability and resistance to tampering or extreme conditions.
• Future-proofing: eSIMs support dynamic network selection and updates, making it easier to adapt to changing connectivity needs or regulatory environments.
• Scalability: With centralized management and over-the-air updates, deploying and maintaining large fleets becomes more efficient and cost-effective.
• Global reach: Access to multiple network operators through a single SIM makes it easier to support international or roaming devices without service disruptions.

IoT SIM solutions help streamline operations and reduce costs by enabling centralized connectivity management across all devices. With remote activation and provisioning tools, teams can reduce manual processes and deploy devices faster.

Real-time usage tracking and automated alerts prevent overages and allow quick data plan adjustments. Features like bulk management and automated rules minimize downtime and reduce support overhead. This leads to more efficient operations and better control over connectivity expenses.
