Hologram, the leading IoT cellular connectivity platform, today announced the next-generation Hyper SIM with network fallback. The global eUICC SIM enables direct integrations with leading carriers in the US and Canada and the launch of network fallback to intelligently keep devices connected. The combination of carrier offerings and automatic fallback gives exceptional performance for cutting-edge IoT applications and peace of mind with multi-network redundancy.
Global roaming agreements are used by millions of IoT devices because they provide simple deployment and affordable worldwide connectivity. Traditional SIMs that allow roaming profiles are no longer sufficient due to tighter limits on worldwide connection and more precise IoT connectivity needs. The next-generation Hyper SIM provides direct native connectivity to top carriers in the US and Canada, guaranteeing operator-guaranteed network access for international IoT deployments. Users may take advantage of traffic prioritization, low latency, and high throughput IoT connection by utilizing native profiles, which support high-bandwidth applications like video monitoring and streaming, industrial robots, autonomous drones, and more.
IoT applications like payment processing, security monitoring, and micro-mobility, among others, need continuous connectivity that is robust to network outages in addition to performance. The network fallback feature of the next-generation Hyper SIM automatically changes between eUICC profiles when the native connection isn’t available.
Without giving up the advantages of multi-carrier and route redundancy provided by global roaming profiles, Hyper SIMs can connect with high-performance native profiles as their primary connection source with network fallback. Network Fallback switches the device automatically to the backup roaming profile if the native carrier connection is lost. This keeps the device connected.
According to Ben Forgan, co-founder, and CEO of Hologram, “When we released Hyper in 2020, we converted connection into software, delivering the first eUICC IoT worldwide SIM.” “To meet the demands of today’s advanced IoT applications, we’re taking that innovation to the next level. The next generation of Hyper provides connected devices the low latency given by native performance with the dependability and flexibility of global roaming they now demand, whether it be for streaming video or autonomous drones.”
