SIM Card with static IP
Fixed IP SIM card
Having trouble accessing your device over the internet? Having a fixed IP SIM card solves this issue. The IP address never changes, making your device is remotely accessible over internet.
- Static IPv4 address
- All ports open & accessible
- Manage firewall rules to improve security
What is a fixed IP SIM Card?
Connecting over the internet allows information to flow from A to B. To send information, the sender and the receiver need an (IP) address.
Since the beginning of the internet, the number of users has exploded. Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) has a limit of 3,706,452,992 public addresses. Since everything from phones, cars and smart devices needs one, they have become scarce.
Cellular networks use Network Address Translation to serve multiple devices with one IP address. Which is a good way to save IP addresses, but prevents direct access to an IoT device.
Simbase can help you fix this problem by offering a fixed IP SIM Card. Allocating a fixed IP address to your SIM Card allows you to start a data session from another IP address. Since it is fixed, you always know at what IP address to reach your device.
Fixed IP SIM Card Applications
CCTV & Security cameras
Any security camera or DVR can easily be accessed using a fixed IP SIM card. Giving the right stakeholders access to the camera footage when needed. Using a 4G LTE router you can set up port forwarding to one or many IP cameras connected to the fixed IP SIM card.
Digital Out Of Home Advertising
The challenges for Digital Out of Home advertising is to keep content and promotions fresh. Today’s media players have no issues managing splashy content, but reaching numerous systems without the option to rely on the retailers internet connection can be quite a challenge.
