IXT SecureNet
One SIM. Global connectivity with secure, private connections for your IoT deployments.
IXT SecureNet ensures your IoT devices communicate through isolated, private networks. Protect your data and devices with this essential add on.
Why secure your IoT connectivity:
Reduce cyber risk
Traffic never touches the public internet. Isolate your IoT data from common attack vectors and reduce your exposure to breaches.
Simplify your architecture
Replace complex, multi-vendor security setups with one private networking layer. Direct cloud integrations mean fewer moving parts.
Support compliance
Meet GDPR, NIS2, and industry-specific requirements with private networking and controlled data routing. Full audit trails included.
Scale without rework
The same private network architecture works for 50 devices or 50,000. Add SIMs to your private APN without per-device setup.
Key features
Private APN
Every SecureNet customer gets a dedicated Virtual Access Point, exclusively for their traffic. Your devices communicate through an isolated network, fully separated from other customers and the public internet. No shared infrastructure means no shared risk. The private APN is highly customizable. Choose hub-and-spoke or full-mesh topology. Align IP addressing with your enterprise network plan. Add filtered internet breakouts where needed, or keep the environment fully closed.
Encrypted VPN tunnels
SecureNet includes two IPSec VPN tunnels for redundant, encrypted communication between your private APN and your enterprise systems or data centers. If one tunnel goes down, traffic routes through the second without interruption.
Direct cloud connect
Route device data directly to your cloud workloads through IP-VPN or IPSec-based connections. No public internet hop between your IoT devices and AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Alibaba Cloud. Direct cloud connect reduces latency, removes public exposure points, and simplifies your security architecture. One private path from device to cloud, managed through your SecureNet configuration.
Flexible IP addressing
Assign static or dynamic IP addresses, private or public, to match your existing enterprise IP plan. IXT configures your APN to avoid conflicts with your internal network ranges. Virtual APN naming links connectivity profiles to each IMSI. This means you assign or change network settings without touching the device itself. For large fleets deployed across multiple sites, this removes a significant operational burden.
Smarter, safer Secure network access
Every device connects through a dedicated private APN, exclusively for your traffic. No shared infrastructure, no public internet exposure, no unauthorized access paths.
Your data stays inside a controlled environment from device to destination.

Who is IXT Global IoT SIM for?
IXT SecureNet is built for industries where IoT data must stay private, compliant, and isolated from external threats, including:
Industry & manufacturing
Isolate factory control systems and production monitoring from public networks. Keep operational data flowing between facilities through private, encrypted channels.
Security
Surveillance feeds, access control data, and alarm systems need connectivity that stays private. SecureNet removes the risk of sensitive security data crossing public infrastructure.
Utilities
Smart meters, grid sensors, and distribution monitoring generate data that falls under strict regulatory oversight. Private networking supports compliance while keeping critical infrastructure protected.
EV charging
Payment processing, load balancing, and grid communication require secure, reliable connectivity. SecureNet keeps transaction data and grid signals off the public internet.
How it works
Design your network
IXT sets up a dedicated private APN for your deployment. We align IP addressing with your existing enterprise plan and configure routing to match your requirements.
Connect your devices
Your SIMs are assigned to the private APN. Devices connect automatically through isolated network paths. No software installation, no device-side configuration changes.
Route to your systems
VPN tunnels and direct cloud integrations connect your private APN to your enterprise systems, data centers, or cloud environments. Data travels encrypted, end to end.
Monitor and manage
Use the IXT CMP to track connectivity, data usage, and network events in real time. Apply security policies, manage SIMs, and adjust your setup as your deployment grows.
Frequently asked
questions
A private APN (Access Point Name) creates a dedicated, isolated network path for your IoT device, keeping data off the public internet and reducing security risks. It ensures only authorised devices can connect, offering better control and compliance.
SecureNet combines private APNs with IPSec VPN tunnels and direct cloud integration (AWS, Azure, GCP), ensuring encrypted, end-to-end communication that never touches public routes.
Yes. SecureNet is designed to work globally and integrates seamlessly with IXT’s Global SIM and Data Pool. You can secure traffic from all regions under one private network setup.
Unlike generic VPNs, SecureNet is purpose-built for IoT. It combines secure routing (via private APN) with device-level tunneling, tailored for industrial, regulated, or large-scale deployments needing low latency and high control.
Absolutely. SecureNet supports GDPR compliance and helps meet strict data residency, uptime, and security requirements across sectors like utilities, industrial automation, and EV charging.
Yes. SecureNet supports direct IP-VPN or IPSec connections to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. This ensures a secure, private route between your devices and cloud workloads, reducing latency and avoiding public internet exposure.
SecureNet works seamlessly with IXT’s global SIMs and Global Data Pool, giving you consistent private networking across regions. You can connect thousands of devices under one secure architecture, simplifying management and reducing complexity.
In most cases, no. SecureNet operates at the connectivity layer and works with devices that support private APNs or VPN configuration. Our team will guide you through setup to ensure compatibility with your current equipment.
