Hologram's eUICC SIM Offers Network Fallback for IoT Devices

Hologram | February 23, 2023

Hologram, the industry-leading cellular connectivity platform for the Internet of Things, has introduced the next-generation Hyper SIM with network fallback functionality. The global eUICC SIM integrates directly with leading carriers in the United States and Canada, enabling network fallback to maintain device connectivity intelligently. While millions of IoT devices utilize global roaming agreements for cost-effective global access, increasing international connectivity restrictions and specific IoT connectivity requirements, traditional SIMs with roaming profiles no longer suffice for IoT. Next-gen Hyper SIM provides direct access to carriers in the US and Canada, ensuring operator-guaranteed connectivity for global IoT deployments. With native profiles, Hyper SIM provides high-performance IoT connectivity for industrial robotics, video streaming, autonomous drones, and more. In addition to performance, IoT applications such as payment processing, security monitoring, and micromobility, among others, require continuous connectivity resistant to network failures. Therefore, the next-generation Hyper SIM incorporates network fallback, an intelligent profile management agent that switches eUICC profiles automatically when native connectivity is unavailable. With network fallback, Hyper SIMs can connect to high-performance native profiles as their primary connectivity source without compromising the advantages of multi-carrier and route redundancy provided by global roaming profiles. Ben Forgan, Co-Founder and CEO of Hologram, shared, "When we launched Hyper in 2020, we turned connectivity into software, offering the first eUICC IoT global SIM." He added, "We're bringing that innovation to the next level to address the needs of the sophisticated IoT applications we're seeing today. Whether streaming video or autonomous drones, the next generation of Hyper gives connected devices the low latency delivered from native performance with the reliability and flexibility of global roaming they now require." (Source – Cision PR Newswire) About Hologram Hologram empowers innovators worldwide to build the future. The company provides cellular connectivity, software, and support to connect and manage IoT devices anywhere in the world. With its Hyper IoT SIM cards, IoT devices enjoy superior performance backed by eUICC technology designed to last the lifetime of deployments.
