The Verizon CATM1 TRIPLE PUNCH (2FF/3FF/4FF) LTE SIM
Newly released Verizon CATM1 LTE SIMs are finding immediate use in IoT applications. As the use of the LTE Cat-M1 becomes a mainstream alternative to SigFox and LoRA, USAT is supporting our clients through early testing and deployment cycles. Cat-M1 is designed for industrial IoT applications that are low-and-slow and that will require very little bandwidth. The low bandwidth business case for Cat-M1 devices demand new types of data plans from Verizon.
Cat-M1 Data Plans and the Cat-M1 SIM
One part of controlling just where Cat-M1 data plans can be used is via the Cat-M1 SIM. To activate on a CAT-M1 rate plan, one of the requisites is that a specific Cat-M1 SIM be used. This SIM is “locked” to a device when activated and can not be switched between network devices. The SIM is constructed as part of a punch-out card. One punch-out card is tri-cut to offer the SIM in 3-different form factors designed to fit into SIM slots that require 2FF, 3FF and 4FF SIM card slots.
USAT is able to offer these SIMs to our clients as part of our standard bill of materials with the Sierra Wireless Cat-M1-NB AirLink RV55 (Item # 1104333). Order CAT-M1 SIMs, skued as the M2MTCSIM-TRI-NR-D, here for testing purposes on the Verizon Cat-M1 network here.
