SIMs for parking and smart places.
Car parks and public spaces are full of kit that needs to report in and none of it is near a network socket. ThingSIM connects each machine, sensor or controller directly.
What the kit needs
Machines that take payment
Parking and ticket machines handle card payments. A Private APN keeps them off the public internet and talking only to your payment host.
Lots of small sensors
Bay sensors, counters and bin sensors send a few bytes at a time; the smallest plan covers them, usually through a gateway.
Spread over a wide area
A town or campus crosses several networks’ best spots. A 4-network SIM uses whichever is strongest at each site.
How it connects
Recommended setup
50 MB, UK 4-network, with a Private APN.
Machines with screens that update adverts or tariffs may need 250 MB.
