One IoT SIM for Canada, the US and the world.
Multi-network IoT SIMs and eSIMs for devices in the field. Each SIM reaches 700+ operators in 150+ countries on 2G–5G, LTE-M and NB-IoT, fails over on its own, and is managed from one portal and API.

Why IoT SIMs
Built for machines, not smartphones.
An IoT SIM is not a phone SIM in a different package. It roams across networks, recovers on its own and is run as a fleet.

North America
Made for fleets that cross the border.
One SIM, one contract and one portal for devices in Canada, the US and Mexico — and everywhere they travel next.
01
The major networks on both sides of the border
Devices roam onto the national carriers in Canada and the US, so a tracker that leaves Alberta for Texas keeps reporting without a SIM swap or a second contract.
02
Local where long-term roaming is a problem
Canadian and US operators can push back on devices that roam on their network permanently. Multi-IMSI lets a device take a local profile where one is available, so it is treated as local — same portal, same API.
03
Data that stays on the continent
Choose the Americas data breakout so traffic from North American devices is handed to your servers close to where it was sent, instead of travelling overseas first.
LTE-M roaming in North America

Plus 2G–5G multi-network coverage. Carrier availability changes over time, so we confirm coverage for your sites before you order.
How it works
A SIM that finds the best network on its own.
Multi-IMSI puts several network identities on one SIM and manages them over the air, so devices stay online without a site visit.
01
Connects on first power-up
A bootstrap profile gets the device online anywhere in the world, straight out of the factory.
02
Takes the best profile for the country
The SIM checks in with a central server, which pushes the best network identity for that country over the air.
03
Keeps optimizing
The SIM keeps checking in, and a better profile is pushed if one becomes available — no truck roll, no new SIM.
04
Falls back on its own
If the active profile has a problem, the SIM switches straight to its fallback profile and the device stays connected.
Provision once. Change networks over the air.
Our eSIMs use eUICC technology and the GSMA SGP.32 standard for IoT, so profiles are downloaded and switched remotely — even on headless, low-power devices with no screen.
- Bootstrap, operational and local profiles on one eSIM
- Connectivity set up in the factory: devices ship ready to connect
- Local profiles where permanent roaming is restricted
- One product for every market instead of a SIM per country

Pay for the SIMs and data you use.
Billing is per SIM and per MB, on one contract and one invoice for every country your devices reach. Seasonal equipment can be suspended and switched back on when it is needed.
- One contract and one invoice across every country
- Suspend and reactivate SIMs from the portal or API
- Usage visible per SIM in real time
- Alerts, throttling or suspension when usage looks wrong

SMS for when data is not enough.
Send commands to devices and receive messages from them through the API — useful for configuration and alerts when a data session is not available.

Security
Private from the SIM to your servers.
Fleet traffic stays off the public internet, and every SIM can be locked to its device and watched for anything unusual.
Private by default
Traffic is kept off the public internet from the cell tower to your servers.
Private transport
Isolated core network
Data travels from the visited mobile network to the data centre over a private network that is isolated from the public internet.
Private APN
Dedicated APNs
Dedicated APNs and custom routing keep your fleet’s traffic segregated from everyone else’s.
IPsec VPN
Tunnel to your network
An IPsec VPN carries device traffic straight into your data centre or cloud.
Static IP
Private or your own
Static private IPs, your own public IPs, or authentication against your RADIUS server.
Control at the SIM
Lock down, watch and stop any SIM from the portal or API.
IoT SAFE
SIM as root of trust
Credentials are held in the tamper-resistant SIM and used for end-to-end TLS from device to cloud.
IMEI lock
SIM bound to device
Stops a SIM working if it is pulled from the device it was installed in.
Anomaly alerts
Traffic profiling
Unusual spikes in traffic are detected in real time, with automatic alerts, throttling or suspension.
Filtering
Firewall and URL filters
Network firewall, protocol filtering and URL filtering limit where devices can send data.
Platform
Run the whole fleet from one place.
A self-service portal, an API for everything in it, and people who know cellular IoT when you need them.
Portal and API
One place to run every SIM.
Activate, suspend and troubleshoot SIMs in real time — in bulk for thousands of devices, or one at a time. Everything in the portal is also available through more than 200 APIs, so connectivity runs from your own systems.
- Self-service portal
- 200+ APIs
- Bulk actions
- Real-time usage
Data breakouts
Americas, Europe or Asia.
Pick the regional breakout closest to your application servers to keep latency down.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Coverage in Canada and the US, multi-IMSI, eSIM, security, billing and choosing the right SIM.
An IoT SIM is built for machines. A phone SIM is tied to one carrier and a monthly bundle. An IoT SIM roams across many networks, falls back to another network if the active one has a problem, supports LTE-M and NB-IoT alongside 2G–5G, and is managed in bulk from a portal and API. It also comes in industrial form factors such as MFF2, which is soldered to the board.
