Our sectors
Security cameras and mobile IoT connectivity
M2M Connectivity SIM cards provide reliable 4G/5G connectivity for security cameras in locations where no fixed internet connection or Wi-Fi is available. Ideal for construction sites, industrial estates, temporary sites, agriculture, storage yards, events and remote properties. With the right data plan, camera footage, alerts and live streams can be viewed and managed remotely. For larger CCTV installations, our high-data-plan SIM cards and multi-network IoT solutions offer scalable connectivity and insight into data usage. A fixed public IPv4 option is available for applications requiring direct remote access to cameras, routers or recorders. Mobile connectivity enables rapid deployment and remote monitoring without relying on local cabling or Wi-Fi.
Solar Farms and Secure IoT Connectivity
Solar farms rely on reliable and secure connectivity for the remote monitoring of inverters, energy meters, weather stations, security cameras and SCADA systems. With IoT SIM cards from M2M Connectivity, your installation remains connected, even in remote locations where fixed internet connections are lacking or insufficiently reliable.
To secure business-critical energy infrastructure, we recommend a secure data connection using a private APN, VPN or Zero Trust security, depending on the technical architecture. This allows data and remote access to be better protected against unauthorised access, whilst you retain real-time insight into performance, faults and production. Secure remote access, network segmentation, encryption and continuous monitoring are key principles for the cybersecurity of PV installations.
Smart Metering with LTE-M and NB-IoT
Small data bundles are often sufficient for the remote reading of electricity, gas, water and heat meters. IoT SIM cards with LTE-M or NB-IoT have been specially developed for devices that periodically transmit small amounts of data, such as meter readings, status reports and alarms.
NB-IoT is ideal for fixed meters with long battery life and locations with limited mobile coverage, such as basements or plant rooms. LTE-M offers greater bandwidth and is a good choice when devices transmit data more frequently, are mobile or require faster communication. With M2M Connectivity, you can choose a suitable IoT SIM and data bundle for reliable, energy-efficient and scalable meter reading.
Mobile PIN terminals (ATM) and IoT SIM cards
Mobile card terminals require a reliable and secure data connection to process transactions quickly, even when Wi-Fi or a fixed internet connection is unavailable. With IoT SIM cards from M2M Connectivity, payment terminals remain connected via 4G or 5G, for example in shops, the hospitality sector, taxis, market stalls, delivery services, pop-up locations and at events.
For payment transactions, a secure mobile connection can be set up, for example using a private APN, an encrypted data connection and restricted permitted destinations. This helps to protect the communication between the card terminal and the payment processor; the terminal, payment provider and merchant remain responsible for compliance with the applicable PCI DSS requirements.
Mobile Machinery and Secure IoT Connectivity
Mobile machinery such as excavators, agricultural machinery, forklift trucks, road sweepers and mobile generators require reliable connectivity for location tracking, remote monitoring, maintenance and diagnostics. With a secure IoT SIM card from M2M Connectivity, machine data remains protected whilst being transmitted via 4G/5G networks.
For machines that can be accessed remotely, we recommend a secure connection using, for example, a private APN, VPN or Zero Trust security. This restricts unauthorised access to telematics units, gateways and operating systems, whilst allowing technicians and administrators to work remotely under controlled conditions. Secure remote access, encrypted communication, segmentation and access control are key principles for industrial IoT and OT environments.
Charging points and Melita.io IoT SIM cards
Charging points require a constant mobile data connection for communication with the management platform, authorisation, billing, status notifications and remote maintenance. M2M Connectivity often uses Melita.io IoT SIM cards for this purpose; thanks to their multi-network connectivity, these SIM cards can automatically connect to the best available mobile network.
This ensures that charging points remain online even at locations without a fixed internet connection, such as car parks, business parks, apartment blocks and public spaces. The IoT SIM card supports reliable data communication with the OCPP backend platform, including monitoring, error reporting and remote firmware updates. You can manage SIM cards and monitor usage centrally via the Melita.io portal
Lorries, Drivers and IoT Connectivity
A modern lorry often uses multiple SIM cards for various applications. IoT SIM cards ensure reliable connectivity for on-board computers, telematics, GPS tracking, temperature monitoring, cameras and systems for the remote retrieval of tachograph data. For international transport, multi-network IoT SIM cards provide stable coverage in Europe and beyond, ensuring that vehicle and logistics data remain available throughout the entire journey.
In addition, drivers can use travel SIM cards and mobile phone services for affordable communication and data whilst on the road. M2M Connectivity helps transport companies with a suitable combination of business mobile services, travel SIMs and secure IoT connectivity for vehicles and drivers. Smart tachographs support, amongst other things, satellite positioning and wireless communication for specific data; telematics forms the basis for the collection and transmission of vehicle, location and sensor data.
Data Connectivity on Yachts and Ships
Yachts and ships require reliable data connectivity for navigation, remote monitoring, CCTV surveillance, engine and system data, crew communications and guest internet. Near the coast or in harbours, mobile IoT SIM cards offer a flexible solution via 4G/5G networks; on the open sea, satellite internet is often essential.
With a hybrid solution, the vessel remains connected via mobile internet when available and via satellite when sailing beyond the reach of land-based networks. SatData advises on and supplies suitable maritime internet solutions, including satellite internet, mobile data and network solutions for yachts, workboats and commercial vessels. Maritime monitoring often uses a combination of satellite and mobile connectivity to continue transmitting location, route and operational data, even outside the coverage area of coastal networks.
