IoT Solutions

Smart Mobile Data is Localcom’s contribution to IoT. We have taken our “make it easy” ethos and applied this to a new IoT portfolio for our customers. Our multinetwork unsteered SIMs will connect to the strongest network as they do not have a preferred network, meaning you always have the best connectivity available, keeping your business applications online, all the time.

We have the ability to tailor to all requirements, whatever your business needs. Whether this be multi-network or a complete solution.

Multi-network wireless connectivity

What does steered and unsteered mean?

Steered Multi-network SIMshave access to multiple networks but cling to one preferred network—even when the signal is awful. Unsteered Multi-network SIMsprioritise connectivity, finding the strongest signal wherever they are, no matter what network.

If there isa network outage, how does the SIM find

the strongest network?

In most cases if your multi-network SIM loses signal, the device modem will immediately search for a new network to connect to*. Some devices use extra logic, like pinging a certain IP address, to determine if connectivity is lost and to reconnect.

Is it noticeable when the SIM switches network?

When switching, the device has to re-register on another network, so there may be a brief 30-60 second delay in re-connecting.
