What are the Top 5 FAQ’s we receive almost at a daily basis at Simplex Wireless?
March 18, 2025When it comes to IoT, connectivity isn’t just about having a signal—it’s about having the right signal, in the right place, with the right performance. That’s where Simplex Wireless stands out. Our IoT SIM cards don’t just connect to any network—they connect to one of the most advanced global IP backbones available: a Tier 1 network.
Here’s what makes that a real advantage for your IoT deployment.
Built on a Global Tier 1 Backbone
Simplex Wireless IoT SIMs are backed by a truly global, transit-free IP network. With 144 Points of Presence (PoPs) in 89 major cities across 53 countries, your devices stay connected wherever they operate. This backbone spans more than 685,000 kilometers of fiber, with over 30 terabits per second of capacity—ensuring consistent and robust global performance.
Low Latency and High Availability
Simplex SIMs deliver real performance, not just promises. Latency is optimized across the board: from Lost Angeles to Hong Kong in under 200 milliseconds, and intra-US traffic in under 100 milliseconds. The network design is congestion-free by design, and our service level agreements guarantee 99.99% availability (excluding the last mile). That means your devices stay connected and responsive when you need them to be.
Direct Cloud Integration
Simplex Wireless SIMs are optimized for cloud-native operations. Thanks to direct peering with all major cloud providers—AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba, and others—your data travels through efficient, secure routes. Whether you’re pushing sensor data to the cloud, managing a fleet of devices remotely, or enabling real-time analytics, you benefit from seamless and secure cloud access.
Optimized Peering and Performance
Many IoT connectivity providers rely on public internet routes that are often congested and unpredictable. Our SIMs benefit from over 27 Tbps of private peering capacity with leading ISPs, carriers, and internet exchanges. This ensures better performance, lower latency, and higher reliability across global regions.
Proven at Scale
The underlying network infrastructure we leverage carries more than 10 Tbps of real-world customer traffic and connects to over 1,000 mobile networks globally. It’s trusted by major telecoms and enterprises around the world. That’s the kind of scale and reliability your IoT deployment deserves.
More Than Just a SIM Card
At Simplex Wireless, we see connectivity as a foundation, not just a feature. When you choose our IoT SIM cards, you get more than access to cellular networks. You get the backing of one of the world’s most advanced IP networks, complete with global reach, built-in security, and unmatched performance.
Your devices deserve better. Your business deserves smarter. That’s why companies choose Simplex Wireless.
