Understand IoT SIM Card Usage in IoT Devices
Discover the inner workings of IoT SIM Cards and how they drive the functionality of your IoT devices.
IoT SIM cards work in IoT devices by providing them with the necessary connectivity to access the internet or a private network. An IoT SIM card is physically inserted into an IoT device, just like a regular SIM card in a mobile phone or tablet. IoT SIM cards come in various forms to fit different devices, such as standard SIM cards, micro SIM cards, nano SIM cards, and embedded SIMs (eSIMs).
Once the IoT device is powered on and connects to a cellular network, the IoT SIM card starts communicating with the network. The card's embedded information, such as the unique ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) and other authentication keys, helps establish the device's identity.
The IoT SIM card registers the device on the network, allowing it to access network services. Once registered on the network, the IoT device can send and receive data. IoT SIM cards and networks support encryption to secure data transmission between the device and the network.
Data usage by the IoT device is tracked, and the associated costs are billed to the IoT SIM card's account. Also, IoT SIM cards come with remote management capabilities, allowing network operators (or device owners) to monitor and configure the SIM cards and devices remotely.

Functionality of IoT SIM Technologies and Models
Delve into the intricacies of IoT SIM technologies and discover the ideal model for your specific needs. There are three distinct models of IoT SIM cards available:
Standard IoT SIMs:
These IoT SIM cards are tailored for IoT applications but maintain the basic structure of traditional SIM cards. They offer essential features required to keep IoT devices connected and manageable. These are well-suited for IoT devices operating in simpler and less challenging environments.
Industrial IoT SIMs:
These are engineered for resilience, designed to withstand harsh and extreme conditions. They exhibit resistance to both high and low temperatures. These are resistant to vibrations, corrosion, and other challenging environmental factors.
Automotive IoT SIMs:
These share similarities with industrial SIMs but are engineered for use in connected motor vehicles. These excel in extreme temperature conditions and remain steadfast during vibrations caused by moving vehicles.
Choosing the Applicable IoT SIM Card Form Factor
Airtel allows you to select the perfect IoT SIM Card form factor to suit your IoT device requirements.
Full-size SIM (1FF):
This SIM card form factor is the largest, akin to the size of a standard credit card. However, it is no longer widely used in modern devices.
Mini-SIM (2FF):
The mini-SIM, measuring 25mm x 15mm x 0.76mm, serves as the industry standard SIM card size. It is commonly deployed in devices such as vehicles, vending machines, and payment terminals.
Micro-SIM (3FF):
The micro-SIM finds its application in more compact and portable devices, such as tablets, GPS units, and mHealth devices.
Nano-SIM (4FF):
The nano-SIM, about 40% smaller than the micro-SIM, is ideal for petite IoT devices. However, these SIM cards offer limited physical protection and are not recommended for use in harsh weather conditions.
Embedded SIM (MFF2) or eSIM:
eSIMs have gained immense popularity for IoT applications. These SIMs are directly soldered onto IoT devices, eliminating the need for physical installation. They boast compact dimensions, measuring only 6mm x 5mm x 1mm, and are renowned for their durability.
