Frequently Asked Questions
What are local carrier SIMs?
Local carrier SIMs are SIM cards that connect directly to a domestic mobile network within a specific country or region. They provide better performance, lower latency, and often lower costs compared to roaming SIMs.
How are local SIMs different from roaming SIMs?
Local SIMs connect to in-country networks, offering more stable connectivity and regulatory compliance. Roaming SIMs connect across multiple countries but may experience higher costs, latency, or restrictions depending on the region.
When should I use local carrier SIMs for IoT deployments?
Local carrier SIMs are ideal when deploying devices at scale in a specific country or region where performance, cost efficiency, and compliance with local regulations are critical.
Can I use local carrier SIMs for global IoT deployments?
Yes, local SIMs can be combined with global connectivity strategies, such as multi-IMSI eSIM or regional provisioning, to create a hybrid approach that balances performance, cost, and coverage across markets.
What are the benefits of sourcing carrier SIMs through KORE?
KORE simplifies procurement by providing access to multiple leading carriers through:
- One contract
- One bill
- One management platform
This eliminates the need to negotiate and manage multiple carrier relationships.
What SIM form factors are available?
KORE offers a full range of SIM form factors, including:
-
2FF (standard SIM)
-
3FF (micro SIM)
-
4FF (nano SIM)
-
MFF2 (embedded SIM for industrial devices)
-
USON (chip-scale SIM options)
What is an eSIM and how does it work?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) allows you to download and switch carrier profiles over the air without physically replacing the SIM card. This enables remote provisioning, faster deployment, and greater flexibility across regions.
Should I choose eSIM or traditional SIM cards?
Traditional SIMs are suitable for fixed deployments or simpler use cases. eSIMs are ideal for global or dynamic deployments where remote provisioning, carrier switching, and lifecycle flexibility are important.
How does KORE support eSIM and local SIM together?
KORE offers both eSIM profiles and local carrier SIMs on a unified platform, allowing businesses to mix and match connectivity strategies based on device type, geography, and operational needs.
What is secure routing in IoT connectivity?
Secure routing uses technologies like private APNs and VPNs to ensure that IoT data travels through protected, controlled networks rather than the public internet, improving security and reliability.
How does KORE ensure IoT connectivity security?
KORE provides secure connectivity through private network infrastructure, encrypted data transmission, VPNs, and policy controls to protect devices and data across their lifecycle.
Can I manage my SIMs and connectivity in one place?
Yes, KORE provides a centralized platform where you can purchase, activate, monitor, and manage SIMs and connectivity across multiple carriers and regions.
Does KORE offer managed services for connectivity?
Yes, KORE offers both managed services (white-glove support) and self-service options, allowing businesses to choose the level of involvement that best fits their team and deployment needs.
How does KORE simplify IoT connectivity procurement?
KORE removes the complexity of working with multiple carriers by consolidating contracts, billing, logistics, and lifecycle management into a single provider and platform.
Can local SIMs help with regulatory compliance?
Yes, using local carrier SIMs can help meet country-specific regulations related to data sovereignty, permanent roaming restrictions, and telecom compliance requirements.
