Which routers are most suitable for the use of M2M and IoT SIM cards?

In general, our IoT SIM cards work in any router. However, off-the-shelf routers are usually not designed for professional use and may, under certain circumstances, cause disruptions or downtime, resulting in unnecessary costs. For fast, stable, and, above all, secure operation, we recommend M2M routers optimized for commercial and industrial use. With our PreConfig package, we offer preconfigured M2M routers that let you easily connect your devices online—it’s plug-and-play.

Are my routers publicly accessible by default?

No. By default, devices that connect to the internet via our M2M SIM cards are not directly accessible from the internet. The data connection is established via private IP addresses and an additional network technology (carrier-grade NAT) that prevents incoming connections from outside the network. This protects routers and connected devices from unwanted access attempts by default. If remote access to your devices is required, various solutions are available—such as VPN connections or custom network configurations with static IP addresses.

Can my end devices connect with each other?

By default, devices connected via our M2M SIM cards cannot communicate directly with one another. This is for security purposes and prevents unwanted connections between devices. For use cases where direct data exchange is required, we offer suitable network solutions. Through a private APN or our shared APN “wsim.link,” devices can communicate with each other within a closed network and exchange data securely.

Can I only purchase Teltonika brand M2M routers via WhereverSIM?

No. In addition to Teltonika, we also offer routers and gateways from other established manufacturers. This allows us to select the right hardware for a variety of requirements and applications—from simple remote applications to complex IoT projects. Together, we’ll find the solution that best suits your use case, both technically and economically.

Features and advantages of our M2M SIM card

More about our M2M SIM cards

Remote access with OpenVPN

For easy and secure remote access, we offer an OpenVPN service operated by us. With this, your service technicians can easily access the routers and the devices behind them. We take over the configuration and operation of the OpenVPN service, so that your employees only need to get a user name and password for the OpenVPN access from us and can start right away.

Experienced support team for router and SIM from a single source.

Industrial routers are designed for high availability. Nevertheless, like with all technical systems, it can happen that the data connection from the router no longer works.

In combination with an M2M SIM card from WhereverSIM, Teltonika's routers offer several options for rectifying the problem remotely. If the worst comes to the worst, this saves trips and service hours to troubleshoot the end devices and provides valuable information in advance about what type of fault could be present.

1

If the router has no longer access the Internet, it recognizes the problem itself using the "Ping Reboot" feature and restarts the connection.

2

If the fault does not resolve itself, your service technicians can easily and securely access the devices via an OpenVPN service provided by WhereverSIM to identify the problem.

3

If access via OpenVPN is no longer possible, the router can be restarted remotely with SMS commands or report back current status information.

English speaking support
for hardware & SIM

If you have any further questions, our IoT experts are at your disposal. They have training and experience with SIM cards & routers from various customer projects. This means you don't have to ask two different providers for support, who may reject responsibility and refer you to another partner.
