Sierra Wireless is building the future of global IoT connectivity. Traditional connectivity options like local SIM cards or roaming SIMs are too complex and lack flexibility for IoT. Sierra Wireless offers a smart SIM with a mobile core network that is interconnected with most MNOs globally. This provides a self-adapting network intelligence that identifies the best network and allows seamless connectivity worldwide through a single SIM and profile.

OPERATIONAL SIMPLICITY EASY TO SCALEDIFFICULT TO MANAGE
TECHNICALCAPABILITY
MNO LOCAL SIMS
• Geographically restricted
• Many MNO’s needed for coverage
• Very complex SIM logistics
• Poor support for OTA updates (eUICC)
LACK FLEXIBILITY & COVERAGE
MNO ROAMING SIM
• Coverage restricted to alliance
• Costs sky-rocket outside of footprint
• >1 MNO needed for coverage & cost
• Poor support for OTA updates (eUICC)
