Security | More secure than public, but uses shared infrastructure | Private and secure (no internet exposure) |
IP Assignment | Static or routed public IP blocks assigned by aql | By customer (RADIUS, DHCP, or static) |
Latency | Moderate – routed through aql but not via L2TP | Lowest – minimal hops via private tunnel |
Troubleshooting | Easier – managed within aql’s infrastructure | Fast and direct with aql – full visibility |

Data SIMs provide reliable connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, enabling smart devices to communicate and share data, such as in smart meters, security cameras, and connected vehicles.
Data SIMs offer secure and portable internet access for professionals working in remote or mobile locations, ensuring they stay connected without relying on public Wi-Fi.
Businesses use data SIMs as a failover option to maintain internet connectivity during primary network outages, ensuring continuous operations.
Data SIMs can be used in mobile hotspot devices, allowing multiple devices to connect to the internet in areas where traditional broadband may not be available.
Data SIMs are ideal for temporary setups at events, providing reliable internet access for event organisers, exhibitors, and attendees in locations where fixed broadband isn’t feasible.
Whether you're enabling IoT, supporting thousands of SIMs, or powering smart infrastructure, we've built the tools to make it easy.
