Is there a difference between an IoT and an M2M SIM card?

No, there is no real difference between an M2M SIM card and an IoT SIM card. Both SIM cards have the same task: they enable different end devices and machines to access the mobile network so that they can transmit data as part of M2M (machine-to-machine) communication or IoT applications.

Which mobile radio standards does the M2M SIM card support?

In terms of technology, our M2M SIM cards support 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE), 3G (UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+), 4G (LTE/LTE Advanced), 5G, LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies. However, depending on the roaming contracts, not every transmission technology is available in every country. As soon as new mobile networks are included in our coverage, you can use the new networks and technologies such as NB-IoT and 5G with the M2M SIM cards that are already in use or installed without having to replace them. With our M2M SIM, you are also ideally equipped for future technologies.

Which cellular network does the M2M SIM card connect to?

Our M2M SIM cards - unlike consumer SIM cards from network operators - are not tied to a specific mobile network. Instead, they give your IoT devices access to all available mobile networks at the respective location via national roaming. Worldwide, devices that meet the minimum technical requirements can log on to over 485 mobile networks with our M2M SIM. In Germany, our M2M SIM cards support all mobile networks of the three network operators Telekom, Vodafone and o2 with just one rate.

What is an M2M SIM card?

M2M SIM cards enable devices to connect to the mobile network in order to be able to transmit data automatically.

Unlike SIM cards for smartphones, an M2M SIM card can use the mobile networks from different network operators nationally and worldwide. It is therefore also called an IoT SIM card, multi-network SIM or roaming SIM. Data can be transferred securely via VPN.

The M2M and IoT SIM cards are managed via an online portal, especially tailored for the requirements of M2M communication.
