Getting your equipment online, wherever it is.
A charge point in a car park. A screen in a shop window. A machine on a factory floor. A sensor in a field. If you have equipment out in the world, it needs a way to get online, and you need a way to look after it once it is.
SIMSY does both. We make setting up your devices and managing them straightforward.
Where our customers usually are
What you can do with it
Six things that become possible once your equipment is on a SIMSY connection.
Get equipment online anywhere
Put a SIM in and it connects, in the UK or in most of the world. No wiring, no waiting for a broadband install, no asking a customer for their WiFi password.
How the connection worksReach it without going to site
Log into a router or a machine from your desk, the way you would if it were in the next room. Most site visits happen because someone cannot get to the equipment remotely.
Remote access explainedKnow when something is wrong
See which equipment is online, how much data it is using and when it stops behaving normally, before a customer calls to tell you.
MonitoringSet it up once, not unit by unit
Decide the settings once. Every new unit picks them up the first time it connects, so nobody has to configure each one by hand before it ships.
Zero touch provisioningKeep it off the internet entirely
Your equipment sits on your own private network rather than the open internet. If it cannot be found from the internet, it cannot be attacked from the internet.
Device securityShow that it is all under control
New regulations ask you to prove your connected equipment is secure and looked after. The record builds itself as you work, rather than being a project of its own.
ComplianceThree simple steps to getting live with SIMSY.
Put a SIM in
A SIMSY SIM goes into your router, gateway or device. A physical SIM if the hardware takes one, an eSIM if it does not.
It finds a network
The SIM is not tied to one mobile operator. It uses whichever of hundreds of networks is available where the equipment ends up, and moves to another if the first one fails.
You take it from there
The equipment appears in your account. From there you can reach it, watch it, change its settings and control what it is allowed to do.
Most providers sell you the SIM.
We hand you the network.
This is the part that is hard to see until you have used something else. Every provider will get your equipment online. The difference is what happens when you want to change something.
How it usually goes
- You want your own private network for your equipment. You ask. There is a setup fee, a lead time and often a minimum number of SIMs before they will do it at all.
- You want particular IP addresses so the equipment fits your existing systems. You are given what they give you.
- You want one machine to behave differently from the rest. That is a support ticket.
- You want to try it with one SIM first. That is a trial account, not the real thing.
How it goes here
- Your private network is a setting. You switch it on yourself, now, at no cost, with one SIM or a million.
- You choose your own IP addresses so the equipment fits the way your systems already work.
- You can change the rules on a single SIM, on its own, while everything else carries on as it was.
- One SIM gets you the same platform as the largest customer we have. There is no trial version.
Why this matters more than it sounds. Every one of those requests is a wait. A day, a week, a purchase order. Multiply that across a deployment and the delay is not the fee, it is the fact that you cannot move at your own pace.
When the controls are yours, you stop planning around someone else's queue.
We built the mobile network itself.
Most connectivity providers buy wholesale airtime from a mobile operator and put a management screen on top of it. When you ask them for something the network has to do, they have to ask someone else.
SIMSY runs its own mobile core. It is the part of a mobile network that decides who is allowed to connect, where their traffic goes and what they can reach. Ours is built on modern cloud infrastructure rather than the systems the large operators have been carrying since the 1990s.
That is the whole reason the controls can be yours. We are not passing your request along to anybody. Every customer gets their own isolated environment inside that network, so the changes you make are yours alone and nobody else's traffic ever touches yours.
The technical detail, if you want itIs this for you?
SIMSY suits organisations with equipment spread across places they do not visit often, on networks they do not control. If some of this sounds familiar, it probably fits.
This sounds like us
- Our equipment is installed at customer sites, and we cannot rely on their network
- We send engineers out for things that ought to be fixable from a desk
- We find out something is broken when somebody rings up
- Every unit gets configured by hand before it ships
- A customer or an auditor has started asking how we secure it
Probably not us
- Everything sits in one building on your own wired network
- You need a single mobile connection for one person's laptop
- You are looking for a phone contract
Try it with one SIM.
Add credit to an account and your first SIM is free. It is the same platform our largest customers use, so whatever you learn with one SIM still applies at ten thousand.
No sales call, no form, nobody getting back to you next week.
