Use cases
IoT SIM cards for environmental monitoring
Weather, water, and air quality stations that report unattended from remote and difficult locations.
Monitoring stations are placed where the measurement has to be taken: on a riverbank, a hillside, a roadside, or a rooftop. They run for long periods on a battery or a solar panel, and a visit to change a SIM is expensive. A Sturdy SIM lets a station connect on whichever network reaches it, and stay connected if that network changes.
Where a Sturdy SIM is used in environmental monitoring
- River level and flood warning stations
- Weather and air quality stations
- Water quality and wastewater sampling
- Wildlife and trail cameras
