What is an IoT SIM Card: An Easy Explanation. IoT devices (or Internet of Things) refers to any device connected to the internet. Devices can be connected to the internet in many different ways - wired connection, Wi-Fi, low-frequency networks such as LoRaWAN. This is where IoT SIM cards UK come into play.
There is a lot of variety in terms of IoT SIM shape, size, and purpose, with each being more suited to a different product or function. The most simple and standard is the UICC SIM (Universal Integrated Circuit Card), a straightforward plastic chip that is manually inserted into a device and can be used to connect standard devices such as phones and laptops, as well as more unique IoT devices.
Sounding more complex on the surface, the MFF2 UICC (Machine-to-Machine Form Factor Universal Integrated Circuit Card) is the second type of SIM that actually operates in a similar fashion to the UICC, with its main difference being the way it is stored in the device. Rather than the UICC that is put in manually and comes in a variety of sizes, the MFF2 UICC comes in a singular size and is vacuum-sealed during the manufacturing process, so it cannot be removed from your IoT once it is inserted. This increased your SIM’s lifespan and durability.
Finally, the eSIM or eUICC (Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card) is a digitised version of the typical SIM card. The eSIM is reprogrammable, and generally works out as cheaper, more secure, and makes it more straightforward to manage a large number of devices at one time.
IoT SIM cards are a powerful technological advancement that is invaluable if you are looking to invest in IoT devices.
