Complete 4G SIM Solutions

Our 4G fixed IP SIM cards offer a high speed LTE connection with a static public IP address. Allowing your data traffic to flow securely from device to device.

Fixed Public IP

Fixed IP SIM card with public IP address is the most convenient way to ensure reliable connectivity because you always know what the IP address of your 4G router is. Therefore, when your router reboots, it will still have the same IP address and you manage your SIM cards using our M2M SIM management.

Fixed Private IP

Extend your corporate network to include data SIM cards with a private fixed IP address. Access to the SIMs is via an IPsec VPN tunnel allowing the host or the remote site to initiate the connection. Using Corporate Firewall and Internet Gateway as the most secure solution.

IP/SEC VPN

Fixed IP SIM card with public IP address is the most convenient way to ensure reliable connectivity because you always know what the IP address of your 4G router is. Therefore, when your router reboots, it will still have the same IP address and you manage your SIM cards using our M2M SIM management.

How Fixed Private IP Works

Fixed Private IP Standard model allows customers to have a default APN that gives the device a fixed private IP address every time it opens a data session. There is a VPN between M2M Data Connect and the customer where the data would pass through. This enables 2-way secure communication.

The device to be connected will need to be configured to use a default APN: fixedipaccess. Then once this device is attached to a visiting network, the data session will pass over the IPX (IP Exchange) and reach M2M Data Connect Mobile Core.
The PGW (packet gateway) will accept this data request and then do a radius authentication to IoT Platform where it is then assigned the same IP each time.
This session will then pass through our 8905 switches and onto the firewall where all traffic will be passed over the VPN back to the customer. There are 2 x Firewalls on the M2M Data Connect side and if one should fail then the other firewall will take over.
The main advantage of this model is it allows the customer to communicate with the device giving 2-way communication.

Why Do I Need A Fixed IP SIM Card with Public IP Address? If you want to remotely access your 4G router over the mobile broadband Internet then a Fixed IP SIM card is needed.  A fixed IP SIM card with Public IP address is the most convenient way to ensure reliable connectivity because you always know what your 4G router IP address is.  As a result, when your router reboots it will always have the same IP address and you manage your SIMs using our M2M SIM management. Fixed IP SIM Cards supplied with a choice of Public or Private IP address assignments Watch our Fixed IP SIM Card video to find out more.  And to get a free quote please visit our Fixed IP SIM Cards product range. What’s the difference between a standard data SIM and a Fixed IP SIM Card with Public IP Address? If you use a standard Data SIM card to connect to the internet over the 4G network and visit www.showmyip.co.uk then the IP address it shows is the public IP address for the mobile network.   The mobile network IP address is shared over many other different user devices.  As a result, you will be unable to connect to your router and connected devices because your normal data SIM has a private IP address. To get a standard Data SIM card obtained directly from the mobile network then you would probably need to have a VPN server at your head office and configure each of your 4G routers as VPN clients to connect to your head office server. As a result, the IP address allocated to your SIM connection will be a private IP on the mobile network. This means that you can’t use Dynamic DNS / DDNS because the IP address that the router reports to your DYNDNS service will be the private one which is behind the actual public IP address on the mobile provider’s network. To use Dynamic DNS / DDNS you will require a Fixed IP SIM Card with Public IP Address.  This allows you to connect to a router and connected IoT devices from any computer connected to the internet.  After inserting the SIM, you have to configure the M2M APN with inbound port filtering.  As a result, you get a fixed public IP connection to allow remote access to your devices. Fixed IP SIM Cards with Public IP address M2M Data Connect offers mobile data SIM cards with a public IP address.  This means that once you insert your SIM card into your 4G router and have correctly configured your SIM Card APN settings the router will connect to the 4G network.   This gives you a publicly available IP address that never changes. Your router will then connect to the  Internet connection with a fixed, public IP address you can communicate to the router directly from anywhere on the Internet and then use port forwarding to connect to your devices on the LAN.  When using a fixed IP SIM card with a public IP address ensure that your 4G router firewall settings are correctly configured because your router will be exposed to the internet.  Many routers will have advanced features and restrict inbound connections to a single IP address or IP address range. Fixed IP SIM Applications Fixed IP SIM applications for business-critical requirements depend on secure remote management and resilient communication.  There are many applications that need fixed IP, there are just some of them: IP CCTV cameras Mobile POS Digital signage Site to site 4G connections Vending machines Tracking devices Secure remote management Smart meters Fleet management systems Remote media Wind turbines Wireless internet mobile workforces At M2M Data Connect, we offer a selection of connectivity services IoT Connectivity from our fixed IP SIM packages, so you can be certain to get the complete M2M data connectivity solution to suit your business, at competitive prices.
