A new partnership between Deutsche Telekom, IoT managed connectivity provider Tele2, and CSL Group subsidiary rSIM will bring multi-network connectivity to the IoT, allowing for more robust and resilient connectivity in mission-critical applications.
The idea behind rSIM – which stands for “resilient SIM,” according to the vendors – is relatively simple. Two independent mobile operator profiles can be stored on a single SIM card, and the rSIM module can monitor each network for outages, ensuring that IoT devices remain connected even if there’s a problem on the primary provider’s network.
