Static Fixed IP SIM Card

Value proposition

Rapid setup of a plug and play VPN to connect things in IoT

Competitive advantage

A static fixed IP is assigned to the device but the device is not accessible by other users browsing constantly Internet. Additional consume of data is therefore avoided by protecting the connection with encryption.

Service description

From its desktop a user can remotely access its device with a fixed IP which is assigned to the device. The communication is secured and encrypted. The device is configured with a VPN SSL certificate and one can simply execute a client on the desktop to remotely access the device. This service is especially useful for people who want to remotely access a PLC and retrieve some information or manage the device. You just put the SIM inside the device, configure the SSL connection and access remotely the device from the desktop. No one will access your device with permission, and you will save money avoiding the extra traffic which is shot to your device from Internet if you don`t protect it. If you just get a static IP from your SIM provider with a VPN connection like this one you are really exposing your device to be hacked or blocked by bots.
