Private APN

A private APN (Access Point Name) routes encrypted mobile data, between pre-configured IoT devices that contain an M2M SIM card.

After that, the SIMs connect via a resilient interconnect. Forwarding encrypted mobile data directly into the corporate network through secure IPSec tunnels.

What Types of Private APN are available?

We offer two types of Private APN. The first type, is a Share Private APN. This enables a secure IPSec tunnel that’s a non-customisable Private APN.

And the second type is a Dedicated Private APN. Which is a custom-built Private APN, built around your unique specifications.

In addition, our Private APN solution offers a truly secure mobile connectivity. As a result, customer organisation’s data traffic remains within a closed private network.

What is the purpose of private APNs?

Private APNs are utilized to assign IP addresses to your IoT applications for connecting to the Internet or your internal business networks. They manage the authentication and security protocols on your IoT SIM card, enabling it to create a secure data pathway to one or several networks that your devices require access to, including VPN tunnels. With private APNs:

- The external corporate infrastructure is accessible solely to designated devices rather than the entire Internet.
- Basic malware like rootkits cannot circumvent APNs.
- APNs facilitate the identification of problems within corporate monitoring services.

The benefits of using a M2M IoT Private APN

Device-oriented IP addressability.
Streamlined SIM-based network oversight and control featuring VPN functionality to substitute leased and fixed-line networks.
Importantly, it ensures secure peer-to-peer (P2P) bidirectional connectivity.
With M2M IoT Private APN, developing, operating, and maintaining your IoT solutions becomes quicker and simpler.
Authentication methods and a widespread infrastructure for various applications and clients are both time-efficient and economical.
Effortless integration with a variety of back-end systems.

Complete IoT SIM APN Solutions

M2M Data Connect is your one-stop partner to design, build and manage your secure network. According to your business needs with or without a private APN.

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

Secure APN

Private APN is a virtual private network domain for your M2M SIM cards that can allow intra-group (SIM to SIM) connectivity and can be added with specific traffic management rules.

How a Private APN Works

Our Private APN offers more security than Public APN, which uses the Internet. In addition, a custom-built Private APN is built around your unique specifications. Connecting your mobile devices in a simple and secure method.

The most noteworthy feature of having your own Private APN is that it reduces the load of your company firewalls. In addition, your internet connectivity and other border systems.

As a result, information from mobile devices to back-end systems is more stable, improving the end-user experience. This is very important when using real-time IoT applications. Therefore, it gives enhanced performance and scalability.

Only M2M SIM subscriptions that are authorised by the customer may be provisioned onto a private APN. After that, no other users will have access to this network.

Each M2M device that requires a data connection must first be configured with the supplied APN supplied. In conclusion, this will establish a secure line on devices and keep your data protected all the time.
