Machine Identification Modules (MIM)
M2M and IoT applications present new technology challenges, and in many cases, standard components designed for consumer devices are not ideally suited to the job. To meet the need for an M2M optimized SIM card that is ruggedized for long life in extreme conditions, a specialized platform was developed called the Machine Identification Module - MIMâ„¢ that has quickly become the preferred solution for enabling secure cellular connections.
MIMs are optimized to:
- Survive extremes of vibration, temperature, and humidity common to M2M applications
- Endure a long life span (ex: 10+ years)
- Occupy a small footprint (miniaturization)
- Withstand and integrate into industrial manufacturing processes
Semiconductor packaging (SMD) resistant to high temperature (105°C), shocks, vibrations and humidity.
Ideal for consumer M2M applications Miniaturized, standardized format (TS 102.671) Resistant to theft. GSM standard.
Ideal for replacement of classic SIM in existing modems. Standard SIM card format but made with a more robust material.
