The Latest IoT Resources
Renewable Energy Solutions Use of Roaming SIM Card
Renewable Energy Solutions are using the M2M Data Connect roaming SIM card for extensive IoT connectivity coverage for all key areas of electricity generation, air and water heating or cooling and solar. Renewable Energy Solutions get transformed by Roaming SIM card Renewable energy mainly provides energy in the key areas of electricity generation, air and water heating or cooling and solar. These then feed into the national grid, and off-grid energy services. The industry is increasing massively in size in the United Kingdom and internationally. One of the major requirements is to have very secure remote connectivity to monitor and control the assets on a daily basis, especially due to the environments in which the expensive renewable energy assets are located. Using the Multi-network, roaming SIM card enables remote asset management, which results in thousands of pounds on human labour costs incurred from frequent site visits. These assets include Solar Farms, Wind Turbines and Hydroelectric generators. Which can sometimes operate in harsh environments and remote locations. As a result, this makes them ideal assets to utilise the Multi-network, roaming SIM card. Assets can be connected to over the internet with a click of a mouse button via a secure connection using the M2M Data Connect private APN. Whether you monitor energy production from a solar farm, or the CCTV footage of a camera on a solar site, an M2M Data Connect roaming SIM card allows you to do it all remotely. Intelligent Smart Grid utilise M2M solutions A smart grid is an “intelligent” electricity distribution network that uses M2M solutions to enable the automated interaction of intelligent devices to react to critical events helping to improve efficiency and reliability in energy distribution and optimize the allocation of resources and the usage of assets. Energy efficiency is becoming a factor in business success, as is planned energy management in the public and private sectors, allowing to reduced energy consumption. M2M technology can help improve energy efficiency by remotely monitoring and controlling the consumption of powered devices and tracking usage for billing and reporting. Automated meter readers (AMR) are innovative and advanced utility meter that records a business or consumers energy, water or gas usage in real-time. M2M technology enables customer relationship management, demand-side management and value-added services, helping to provide a more reliable and sustainable supply. Managing solar and wind farms that are sited offshore or in remote locations is a challenge. M2M technologies provide a simple, cost-effective solution for retrieving assessment and monitoring data to maximize energy production and reduce the need of other sources by enabling real-time response to output changes caused by changing weather, failure or maintenance issues. In the oil, gas and petroleum industry, production and distribution systems can span hundreds of kilometres and suffer inclement weather. M2M solutions allow centralizing monitoring and access, helping controllers to communicate with instrumentation at wellheads, pipelines and other remote sites. How to get connected with M2M Data Connect For more information or help just complete the enquiry form and we will be in touch.
How the Internet of Things is impacting the Business World?
The Internet of Things is especially very interesting within the framework of the business world. From the supply chain to human resources management and customer service. In addition, the contribution and impact of IoT keep evolving. There are three main benefits of IoT for business, which we’ll now explain. Three main benefits of IoT for businesses First, it is important to understand how IoT impacts all sectors of activity in the short and medium-term. Why? Because the Internet of Things, associated with AI (Artificial Intelligence), makes it possible to collect and transmit information at a speed. And with a degree of precision never before achieved. Speeding up processes of design, manufacture, delivery, follow-up, customer satisfaction, public and private security. And the more connected objects there are, the more information will circulate more effectively and even faster, along networks designed IoT connectivity. It has enabled the closing of the loop from the design of the product or the service to its consumption. Therefore, gains are considerable in at least three areas. Communication, control and automation and cost reduction. Communication improvements made by IoT The communication between connected objects enables the exchange of data and information. This is achieved either directly with each other, or through an IoT platform, or with the user. As a result, the status of charge of an object, the wear of parts, the general state of operation can now be monitored. Control and automation with the Internet of Things Having control of production chains is vital for business. With the help of the Internet of Things, everything is now controllable, programmable. Better, applications and other software packages allow prediction. It enables the adaptation of production to demand. Thanks to the collection of information and predictive algorithms. The slightest anomaly is detected and allows immediate intervention, either by humans or another machine. Perhaps the simplest example is that of connected cars. In the event of an imminent and unforeseen obstacle, the vehicle detects and gives the signal. This is the first step. In the case of more complete autonomous functions, the braking system can intervene automatically, and much more efficiently than humans can. This control and automation of tasks, transferred to the corporate world, allow better reactivity, and therefore less waste of time (or even no loss of time) on the assembly, supply or follow-up chains. Cost reduction enabled by the IoT We are all aware that critical failures waste time and money. That’s why control and automation with the Internet of Things are so important. No more approximations and estimates of all kinds. Benefit from anticipation and forecasting, instant communication, real-time control. The business world has everything to gain by adopting IoT. Especially with unified connectivity and device management. Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) to unlock unprecedented insights and access advanced functionality.

As a result, this gives you the ultimate connectivity for your business, the fastest internet available on 4G and the ability to connect anytime, anywhere, choose an M2M Data Connect fixed IP SIM card. 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.
