Can any IoT SIM card be used in any device? 

When exploring the vast landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT), one question frequently surfaces: Can I use any SIM card in any IoT device? The assumption might be understandable given the universal nature of traditional SIM cards in mobile phones, but when it comes to IoT, the requirements are significantly more specific and complex. The Distinct Nature of IoT SIM Cards IoT SIM cards are different from your average SIM cards. Designed specifically for IoT applications, these SIMs cater to a unique set of needs that differ vastly from the regular consumer devices we are familiar with, such as smartphones. […]

Is Your Multi IMSI SIM Card Solution Truly Multi IMSI?

Global IoT businesses demand seamless connectivity across borders. This necessitates access to reliable, high-performance network coverage wherever operations extend. Multi-IMSI SIMs emerge as a potent solution, yet many users mistakenly assume they are leveraging a multi-IMSI solution when crucial benefits elude them. Why Connecting via Local Networks Matters IoT devices have reshaped connectivity dynamics. Unlike consumer devices tethered to a single region or briefly venturing elsewhere, IoT devices crisscross multiple countries or regions. Consider logistics or telematics scenarios where sensors monitor cargo across various locations or fleets perpetually shuttle between destinations. Traditional roaming arrangements cater well to consumer devices returning […]

Africa is a Booming Continent with Massive IoT Potential

Africa, as the second-largest continent and the world’s largest free trade area, connects 1.3 billion people across 55 countries, boasting a GDP in the trillions. The continent’s population is projected to constitute a quarter of the global total by 2050, significantly up from just 10 percent in 1950. With such rapid growth, the demand to connect people and objects is escalating, driven by an expanding economy and population. The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to transform key verticals including telecommunications, agriculture, telematics, energy and utilities, smart cities, healthcare, and more. The African Market Landscape for the Internet of Things […]

What is an iSim?

Are you curious about iSIM and its implications for IoT connectivity? In this post, we’ll explore what iSIM means, the differences between iSIM and eSIM, and where physical SIM cards fit into the connectivity landscape. What is an integrated SIM? An integrated SIM (iSIM) is an alternative form factor to traditional SIM cards. Instead of physically placing a SIM card into a device, as with mobile phones or IoT devices, iSIMs are embedded directly onto the device’s System-on-a-Chip (SOC). This eliminates the need for a removable SIM card and simplifies the device’s design. What’s the Difference Between eSIMs and iSIMs? […]

What is IIoT? Industrial Internet of Things Explained.

What is industrial IoT, and how is it different from consumer IoT?Here’s our guide to the world of IIoT. By PAT WILBUR via https://www.hologram.io  The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applies IoT technology to manufacturing, energy production, and construction industries. When machines are connected, enterprises can track their activity, progress, and maintenance needs, ultimately improving their operational efficiency. Also called Industry 4.0, IIoT promises to revolutionize manufacturing processes and help organizations take advantage of all data types. IIoT vs. IoT: What’s the difference? IoT can be difficult to define, but ultimately it means technology in the environment around us interacting with […]
