What Is IoT SIM card

An IoT SIM card is a specialized SIM card designed for connecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices to mobile networks. Unlike regular SIM cards for smartphones, IoT SIM cards are optimized for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, enabling devices to transmit data over 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, or LPWAN networks such as NB-IoT and LTE-M. They feature extended coverage, low power consumption, remote management, and high reliability, making them ideal for applications in smart cities, industrial automation, connected vehicles, smart homes, environmental monitoring, and healthcare.
