Use cases
IoT SIM cards for backup internet and failover
A cellular second path for an office, store, or branch, without relying on one carrier to be working when the wired line fails.
Businesses fit cellular routers so that a cut cable does not stop their work. A backup connection is only worth having if it is available at the moment the primary fails, and a backup that depends on one carrier can be affected by the same storm or the same outage. A Sturdy SIM gives the backup router more than one network to use.
Where a Sturdy SIM is used in backup internet and failover
- Automatic failover when a cable or fiber line goes down
- Keeping payment and cloud systems online during an outage
- Temporary internet for a new site awaiting installation
- Out-of-band access to network equipment
