SIMs for smart metering
Meters sit in cupboards and basements for years. A SIM that works on more than one network lets the meter use whichever is strongest there.

What matters for smart metering
Signal in hard places
Meters are often indoors or underground. A SIM that works on more than one network lets the meter pick the strongest one.
Years in service
A meter is fitted once and left alone, so the SIM must keep working without visits.
Thousands at once
Thousands of meters’ SIMs in one Control Centre, with alerts for any that stop sending readings.
