Ranges are typical for European and North American deployments Simbase observes in production. Actual usage depends on OCPP implementation, telemetry cadence, and what's bundled with the charger (screen, camera, payment, DCS). Numbers should be validated against your own telemetry before committing to a plan.

Where healthcare connectivity falls short

Three connectivity challenges healthcare organizations face

Care doesn't stop at the hospital.

Healthcare is increasingly delivered in homes, mobile clinics, and community settings. Connected devices need reliable cellular connectivity wherever patients receive care.

Critical systems need continuous connectivity.

Connected medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and clinical applications rely on dependable connectivity to help healthcare teams access information and support patient care without interruption.

Security and visibility go hand in hand.

Healthcare organizations need centralized visibility into connected devices while protecting sensitive patient data and maintaining secure, compliant operations across multiple locations.
