When it comes to “M2M SIM cards”, it is often difficult to know what it really refers to. Used in regular operation conditions, standard plastic SIM cards used in mobile phones can also be used for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications without any modification.
Other SIM cards that are dedicated to M2M have to meet specific requirements that are not met by standard plastic SIM cards:
- Extended temperature range (up to a -40°C/+105°C range), supported by -
- Ruggedised (industrial-grade) plastic SIM cards;
- Higher resistance against corrosion, vibration and shock thanks to soldered or -
- Embedded SIM cards, used in the automotive industry for instance;
- Longer life expenctancy (some SIM cards can support up to 500,000 write/erase cycles);
- Longer data retention time (10+ years);
- Surface mounting that prevents from thefts.
Which types of SIM cards do Transatel’s solutions support? Transatel works with different SIM card manufacturers providing all SIM form factors: full-size SIM cards or 1st form factor (1FF), Mini SIM cards or 2nd form factor (2FF), Micro SIM cards or 3rd form factor (3FF) and Nano SIM cards or 4th form factor (4FF). Transatel works as well with M2M forms factors MFF1 and MFF2.
Transatel’s M2M expertise also allows us to:
- Provide SIM applets;
- Create different SIM card electrical profiles;
- Provide eUICC with our partners. | | With the increasing and explosive growth of interconnected devices, Device Management is no longer a requirement exclusive to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers. Devices from the core of the network all the way down to Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), IoT sensors, and everything in between inclusive of Routers, Switches, and Gateways, etc. must be manageable.
Though their deep relationships with important third parties, Enea is working to ensure that organizations creating network infrastructure equipment have pre-integrated support for solutions that save time, development cost, and accelerate time to market. | The most progressive manufacturers have started to integrate wireless solutions for industrial sensing and control systems. By switching from homegrown, wired M2M systems to wireless, these companies are able to anticipate failures, monitor sensors, cut costs, improve uptime, and more. From power plants, to oil refineries, to all types of manufacturing facilities, wireless Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are allowing plants to operate safer and more efficiently than ever before. Whether you’re implementing an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) system for a new facility or you’re interested in retrofitting a current system with wireless, the considerations are the same. You need to analyze wireless technologies like WiFi, cellular, or LPWAN protocols for tradeoffs like cost, security, range, performance, and battery life.
With Symphony Link from Link Labs, a wireless network can be deployed to cover the entire facility from one gateway. That decreases the cost and security risk associated with WiFi or cellular. In addition, the battery life will last years rather than days. |
