EV Charging Connectivity

Secure, resilient connectivity for your charging network

Regulatory context: EU CRA, UK Smart Charge Points Regulations, ISO 15118-2 (mandatory Jan 2026), ISO 15118-20 (Jan 2027), OCPP 2.0.1, NIS2 for energy operators, UK CSR Bill for 300MW+ load controllers.

A compliance-intensive, distributed estate

EV charging is one of the most compliance-intensive sectors in connected infrastructure. Every charger processes payments, communicates with backends, and participates in grid management, deployed across distributed locations with no on-site IT.

  • Every charger handles payment card data subject to PCI DSS 4.0
  • Backend communication required for OCPP, grid balancing, and availability reporting
  • Distributed locations with no on-site IT staff or fixed-line connectivity
  • Firmware updates must be delivered securely and remotely across the fleet
  • Multiple overlapping regulatory frameworks with audit and evidence requirements

Purpose-built connectivity for charge point operators

SIMSY delivers the connectivity, isolation, and compliance evidence that charge point operators need, without adding hardware or complexity at every site.

  • Resilient cellular backhaul with multi-network failover across all four UK carriers
  • Multi-APN traffic segregation for payment isolation at the SIM level
  • Secure remote firmware updates without site visits
  • Fleet-wide monitoring with anomaly detection across the entire estate
  • No public internet exposure, all traffic stays on private infrastructure
  • Compliance evidence generated automatically for audit readiness

What the platform delivers

Multi-Network Failover

Automatic failover across EE, Vodafone, O2, and Three. If one carrier drops at a location, the SIM switches to the next strongest signal without interruption. No single-carrier dependency.

Multi-APN PCI DSS Isolation

Payment card traffic and device management traffic run on completely isolated logical networks on a single SIM. PCI DSS 4.0 segmentation achieved at the SIM level with no additional site hardware.

Remote Firmware Updates

Push firmware updates securely to any charger in your estate without dispatching an engineer. Updates are delivered over the private network with full audit logging.

Fleet Monitoring

Real-time visibility across every charger in your estate. Connectivity status, data usage, uptime history, and anomaly detection, per charger, per site, per client.

Private Network

All traffic stays on private infrastructure. No public internet exposure means no publicly routable attack surface for your charging estate.

Compliance Evidence

Automated compliance evidence generation for EU CRA, NIS2, PCI DSS 4.0, and UK Smart Charge Point Regulations. Audit-ready documentation without manual effort.
