The operator layer for African IoT

Start with the use case: latency, uninterrupted service, multi-country coverage, SIM format, firewall behaviour and whether the device can operate with multi-IMSI profiles.

Choose a partner that can provide a multi-IMSI SIM card so devices can connect to multiple operators for cost efficiency, coverage and latency management.

IMSI stands for International Mobile Subscriber Identity. It is a unique number used by mobile network operators and forms part of the SIM profile.

IoT devices often move across regions. Multi-IMSI profiles allow devices to switch between available networks instead of depending on one operator relationship.

Roaming ties a SIM to one home network that it authenticates back to at every border, which is slow and fragile. A multi-IMSI SIM carries several operator identities and switches between them autonomously, so devices attach to a local network instead of relying on the roaming handshake.

CommsCloud SIMs reach 180+ countries and hundreds of mobile networks through one library of IMSI providers, with deep coverage across Africa and its cross-border corridors.

Plastic SIMs (2FF, 3FF, 4FF), embedded MFF2, eUICC and iSIM, all managed on the same platform, so you can match the format to the device without changing provider.

Yes. A private APN or IoT VPN routes traffic straight to your data centre or cloud with local breakout, keeping devices off the public internet and under your control.

One contract covers the whole library of networks, with pay-as-you-go pricing and no per-operator lock-in, so procurement stays simple as your deployment scales.

Connect once through the REST API and the Connectivity Management Portal to activate SIMs, monitor usage, apply policies and manage devices, backed by 24/7 support from one team.
