The fixed IP data SIM is our flagship solution. This solution takes data communication to the next level and gives our customers what we refer to as business-grade mobile broadband. We know that companies like to use IoT solutions in their operation for flexibility, but they would want the assurance that the information that was sent would not be compromised and that the performance was as consistent as possible.

What is a fixed IP SIM?

A Fixed IP SIM refers to a SIM card assigned to a specific, static IP address. This assignment allows the SIM card to maintain a consistent, unchanging IP address and two-way connection, which is crucial for applications where a device needs to be remotely accessible over the Internet at all times. Having a fixed IP on a SIM card ensures that the device can always be reached using the same address, facilitating reliable remote access and management.

This capability is particularly valuable in the Internet of Things (IoT) sector, where devices often need to send and receive data without human intervention. In practical terms, having a fixed IP for an IoT device means that it can be directly accessed from anywhere, making it possible to retrieve information, perform updates, and manage the device remotely. This feature enhances security and control over the device, as the server it connects to can consistently identify it via its permanent IP address.

Industries Fixed IP SIMs are used in

• Security Cameras
• Remote Access and Management
• Monitoring of remote devices
• Smart devices
• Industrial Automation
• Environmental Monitoring
• Disaster Response
• Management of multiple devices
• Hosting Services
• Remote Work
• VoIP
• Gaming and Peer-to-Peer Applications

Network Configuration:

When a device with a multi-network SIM connects to a cellular network, it initiates a network registration process, similar to a traditional SIM card. During this process, the cellular network assigns an IP address to the device, allowing it to communicate with other devices and services over the Internet.

Static IP Assignment:

With a fixed IP configuration, the cellular network assigns the device a static IP address instead of a dynamic one. A static IP address remains constant and does not change each time the device connects to the network, unlike dynamic IP addresses, which are assigned dynamically and may change over time.

APN Configuration:

The device’s network settings are configured to use the private APN provided by the cellular network operator. This ensures that data traffic originating from the device is routed through the private APN, allowing for secure and reliable communication.

Private APN:

In some cases, fixed IP multi-network SIMs are provisioned with a private APN, which serves as a dedicated gateway for data communication between the device and the cellular network. The private APN ensures secure and direct access to network services and may include additional security features such as firewall rules or VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnels.

Subscription Management:

The subscription profile stored on the SIM contains information about the device’s network configuration, including the fixed IP address assignment. This profile is managed and provisioned by the cellular network operator, allowing for seamless activation, deactivation, or modification of the fixed IP configuration as needed.
