M2M/IoT SIMs
M2M/IoT
M2M (Machine to Machine)/ IoT (Internet of Things) technology was created to streamline the way data is collected from devices and incorporated into IT systems, without human intervention. Jola uses ‘industrial grade’ SIM cards. Our rugged SIM cards can operate in more harsh environments and are more resistant to vibration, corrosion, extreme high or low temperatures.
Fixed (static) IP / Private APN / L2TP
M2M and IoT SIMs are available with Dynamic IP by default, while most of our M2M and M2M/IoT SIMs also support Fixed IP, Private APN or L2TP connectivity options.
Jola’s Fixed IP and Private APN traffic transits the Cloudflare international IP network.
Cloudflare DDoS protection secures websites, applications and entire networks while ensuring the performance of legitimate traffic is not compromised. Cloudflare’s 121 Tbps network blocks an average of 86 billion threats per day, including some of the largest DDoS attacks in history.
How are M2M/IoT SIMs managed?
Mobile Manager is our M2M/IoT SIM management portal, which communicates in real-time with multiple mobile network operators. Mobile Manager handles M2M SIM activations, ceases, suspensions, reports, alerts and bolt-ons and can be used by resellers and their end users to manage large estates of M2M SIMs in multiple devices worldwide.
