SIM cards are at the heart of all mobile communications. They enable smart IoT devices on construction sites, in manufacturing halls, and in transportation and logistics to transmit data to a cloud platform. Our SIM cards are optimized for use in the Internet of Things – they are resilient to dust, dirt and vibration, are temperature-resistant, durable, and can be integrated into any production process. This enables maximum coverage, performance, and ultimate flexibility for your IoT projects.

Cost-efficiency
Especially in massive IoT projects, where larger quantities of SIM cards are used, they should also be maintenance-free and inexpensive.

Puzzle Icon
Flexibility
They must support numerous network technologies, such as classic cellular, 2G, 3G/UMTS, 4G/LTE, 5G, NBIoT, and LTE-M, as well as combinations of these.

More flexibility with our IoT SIM cards

For this reason, we provide you with diverse variants of IoT SIM cards. In addition to the classic plug-in SIMs and SIM chips for soldering, we offer SIM solutions with special functionalities such as eSIM and nuSIM for large, special IoT projects. All offer you connectivity in the best German network and the option of worldwide roaming. No matter what environment your ideas take us to – we have the right SIM.
