Having tested a number of network options through a rigorous programme of trials, the outcome of requirements needed was a single, unsteered SIM that managed data, SMS and voice. And because of the nature of an unsteered smart SIM, a Mobile Network was selected on signal strength alone, therefore not being hampered by preferences which could potentially affect the seamless connection. One SIM to suit all installations and locations simplifies Avire’s entire connectivety platform with just a single stock unit to be held at its factories for assembly.

A secure network solution with IPSEC VPN also ensured that the two-way datalinks from the monitoring units to Avire’s hub could never be compromised. The secure status of the network has resulted in Avire’s communication channels being private, with SMS, data and voice all being delivered across one bearer service.

Finally, Avire needed to continue to provide value to their customers and so also worked with Wireless Logic to create a highly competitive range of tariffs that reflect the likely usage of a deployed SIM-based management unit. This was achieved by Avire pursuing precise analysis of data usage to then set tariffs to match the expected usage. Wireless Logic were then able to aggregate the usage over groups of SIMs, therefore ensuring communication costs are controlled and budgeted on a per-deployment or per-customer basis.
