IoT solutions are vast, from simple trackers for data collection that can provide a wealth of information to transformational solutions that allow new services and functions.

Basic connectivity is not enough for mission-critical or complex solutions. Intelligent connectivity provides the adaptive and resilient experience that previous technologies simply cannot.

Losing Connectivity

Maintaining connectivity has never been more important. Dropped connectivity today is like losing electricity, gas or water. It can ruin a day and even stop a business. For a Multi Network Data Sim, contact www.lister-communications.co.uk/business-mobiles/multi-network-data-sim-cards

There are a few common causes of lost connectivity.

• Insufficient Network Coverage: You enter an area in which there is no network coverage for the SIM you are using.
• No bandwidth: Your operator’s network may be up and running, you have cell service and a good signal. However, there is not enough bandwidth to complete your task.
• Outages on the Network: Although you have LTE coverage, there is a network failure.

You can’t use your app, or connect to your device. Your critical task is left unfinished.

Problems can become catastrophes

There are many mission-critical apps that can be affected by losing connectivity.

• Trading: In the world of finance, it is essential that real-time updates on information are made to guarantee returns for large financial transactions. Betting shops also require updates in near-real time to show accurate odds.
• Police Forces: An interruption in connectivity can leave police unable to report a crime that is in progress. They may also be stranded in dangerous situations without the ability to contact backup.
• Emergency Service: Losing connectivity for a minute or more could result in fatal delays to health data transmissions and locational information.

Multi-net: Introducing multi-networks

All of these problems have a common factor: they are all dependent on one mobile network. Multi-net SIMs solve this problem: SIMs without steering that do not discriminate between networks.
