Industrial SIM cards (2021 portfolio)

IoT SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) Cards for industrial applications

M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and IoT applications present new technology challenges, and in many cases, standard components designed for consumer devices are not ideally suited to the job.

To meet the need for an IoT optimised SIM card that is ruggedised for long life in extreme conditions, Thales developed a dedicated industrial platform that has quickly become the preferred solution for enabling secure cellular connectivity.

Building upon Thales's proven SIM technology, industrial IoT SIM Cards secure the identity of machines communicating on cellular networks and provide security authentication and ciphering among other features. These SIM Cards are optimised to:

Survive extreme conditions of vibration, temperature and humidity common to M2M applications
Endure a long life span (ex: 10+ years)
Occupy a small footprint (miniaturisation)
Withstand and integrate into industrial manufacturing processes

Industrial SIM Cards ensure that mobile operators can claim and retain a significant stake in the IoT industries while providing new opportunities for OEMs, service providers and customers. The unique platform is available in several form factors. It is enabling successful global M2M deployments for a wide array of industries including automotive, metering, remote management, industrial data collection, healthcare and many more.
