SIM Server

Machine-to-machine (M2M) technology is rapidly growing, but deployment can still be distinctly complex and difficult to test and validate in the lab. Additionally, just when you think you’re done with installation, it can be equally as challenging to return it for on-site test and maintenance purposes because of such things as site accessibility and legal administration approbation. The only way you can truly avoid these issues is to properly anticipate them before the deployment process altogether.

 M2M technologies enable such things as computers, mobile devices and smart sensors to communicate between each other, as well as take the proper measurements to share information and make decisions without much human influence or interaction.

iQim’s IRON Suite Solution works to offer many benefits, applying its unique expertise in virtual SIM technology for end-to-end validation for M2M solutions and interface with any type of M2M device. Additionally, it includes an intuitive Web interface and XML API, as well as an advanced SIM price plan and tariff configuration.

End-to-end validation is critical when concerning your M2M solution, as it is subject to several different constraints including GSM 3G coverage, unexpected multi-operator roaming, international roaming, device synchronization and tariff and service restrictions.

“Once the device is installed, it is quite complicated to return on-site for test or maintenance purposes due for example to accessibility or legal administration approbation. Therefore, it is critical to anticipate problems before deployment,” iQsim explains.

iQsim’s IRON Suite Solution directly addresses these commonly faced issues. With its robust SIM technology, SIM cards are virtually allocated to help enable the test server to simulate a complex M2M on-site configuration. Further, the IRON Suite enables SIM cards to be both physically and geographically separated from its device’s destination – essentially supporting deployment across several counties and only requiring IP connection.

“The IRON Suite allows to simulate such a complex network in the lab, to elaborate automatic test procedures, and this way to anticipate problems before they happen on site,” this iQsim datasheet elaborates.
