This means that in the event of network problems, the card may disconnect until the network is functional again. MFF2 (QFN8) Standard: Embracing the latest industry standard, ensuring seamless compatibility and optimal performance. Once activated, it only has access to this operator, like the SIM cards usually found in mobile phones.

Hence the objective of this section: to inform you about the different formats and types of SIMs and their use cases. The single contract approach helps businesses reduce complexity, as the responsibility for global coverage lies with the provider, rather than the company supplying the M2M objects or services. Fixed or dynamic IP, public or private IPThe multi-operator SIM card is set up with a single operator profile and through roaming agreements you have several local operators available where your objects can connect depending on the signal quality. Long-lasting Performance: Designed to thrive in harsh conditions, our SIM cards offer a lifespan of over 17 years, guaranteeing reliable operation throughout their extensive lifetime.

Versatile Power Supply: Works flawlessly with a supply voltage range of 1.62 to 5.5 V, ensuring compatibility with various power sources. Unmatched Endurance: Boasting an outstanding endurance rating of 2,000,000 cycles, ensuring reliable performance even under prolonged usage. The infrastructure costs of implementing this type of solution may still seem prohibitive and can only be amortised on very large projects (> 10,000 devices).

Technologies associated with Thales IoT SIM cards

Advanced IoT eSIM: Soracom’s MFF2 Embedded SIM card (IoT eSIM) offers a physically secure and compact solution, allowing easy integration with your device while conserving valuable space on the actual hardware. Although classic SIM cards can work in connected devices, they are not adapted for machine to machine use: Extreme Temperature Resilience: With a wide temperature range of -40° to 105°C, our SIM cards maintain unwavering functionality in the most extreme temperature variations. Most connected objects operate under normal conditions. In this case, you opt for the standard (non-hardened) plastic SIM card. It is the twin of the classic SIM card but adapted to M2M/IoT use. When initiating a connection, the object will ask the SIM card to scan all available operator networks.
