IoT SIM Cards for European Deployments
Secure multi-network IoT SIM cards for enterprise deployments across Europe. 600+ networks, eSIM and eUICC, one shared data pool, Zero Trust security in the SIM.
What is an IoT SIM card?
An IoT SIM card gives a connected device its cellular link, so machines exchange data across networks with no person involved.
An IoT SIM card connects a device to cellular networks for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, with no person involved. It goes into sensors, trackers, meters, cameras, EV chargers, and industrial controllers.
A consumer SIM ties a phone to one carrier. An IoT SIM built for enterprise use connects across many networks, so a device keeps working when it moves between countries or when a local network drops. For European deployments this matters, because devices cross national network boundaries a single-carrier SIM cannot follow.

What makes IXT Global SIM suited to European deployments?
One multi-IMSI SIM keeps devices connected across Europe's national networks, with shared data and Zero Trust security built in.
Devices spread across Europe move between national networks. IXT Global SIM uses multi-IMSI technology and connects across 600+ mobile networks in 190+ countries, then selects the strongest available signal automatically. The SIM ships pre-activated and ready to connect out of the box. It activates on first use only, so you hold stock without starting the clock on a device you have not yet deployed.
For regulated European industries, IXT connectivity is aligned with GDPR and NIS2. Private networking keeps device traffic off the public internet, and Zero Trust security removes exposed ports and VPN clients on the device itself.
Does IXT support eSIM and eUICC for IoT?
Yes. IXT supports eSIM and iSIM, with eUICC for remote, over-the-air profile switching.
IXT Global SIM supports eSIM in the MFF2 form factor and is iSIM-compatible. With eUICC, you switch carrier profiles remotely over the air, so you provision a device manufactured once for any market without changing hardware. Form factors cover 2FF, 3FF, 4FF, and MFF2.

How does the data pool work across European borders?
Every IXT SIM draws from one shared data pool across borders, so no device runs out while others sit unused.
On individual SIM plans, one device uses up its data while others sit unused, and the device running out goes offline. The IXT Global Data Pool removes this risk. Every SIM draws from one shared pool across borders, with no individual caps and no overage fees.
You add or remove SIMs without changing the contract, and data is never stranded on a single SIM. The result is predictable monthly cost across a fleet spanning several countries.

How is the SIM secured?
IXT builds Zero Trust security into the SIM, so devices stay protected without a client of their own.
Most IoT devices cannot run a security client, and many are headless. IXT builds security into the SIM instead of the device. Zero Trust security, powered by Zscaler ZTNA, makes all traffic device-initiated, with no exposed ports and no VPN clients required. This is IXT's standard security model, not an optional extra.
Customers who choose not to take Zero Trust run SecureNet, which provides a private APN, VPN, and static IP options with direct paths to AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba Cloud.
How do you manage IoT SIMs at scale?
The IXT CMP gives real-time control over thousands of SIMs from one dashboard.
The IXT CMP gives real-time insight into connectivity, location, and data usage. Because IXT owns and operates its own IoT core network, the data stays current, not delayed. You suspend a SIM, search by ICCID, apply labels, and filter thousands of devices from one dashboard. Event logging with timestamps supports fast troubleshooting when a device behaves unexpectedly.
How does IXT compare to other IoT connectivity providers?
Most providers compete on data price. IXT competes on security, real-time visibility, and European compliance.
Many IoT SIM providers compete mainly on data price for low-throughput devices. It suits simple, high-volume sensor fleets where cost is the only factor. It leaves a gap when a deployment needs enterprise-grade security, real-time visibility, and compliance with European regulation. IXT is built for this gap. It is a full MVNO with its own IoT core network, Zero Trust security in the SIM, and real-time management, for organisations whose devices carry data they cannot afford to expose.
