Global IoT SIMs That Keep you Connected.

Connect, manage, and scale your IoT devices anywhere with OV’s multi-network IoT SIMs. Powered by our own MNO backbone for reliability, reach, and control.

The challenge

Global Connectivity Without the Guesswork.

IoT products rely on continuous, reliable data flow. Yet managing multiple SIM vendors or local carriers creates gaps, billing inconsistencies, and limited insight into performance. For you, that means extra cost and slower deployment. OV’s global IoT SIM eliminates that friction.

The OV solution

Built for Those Who Scale Globally.

OV operates as a true IoT MNO. Our IoT SIMs connect directly to the OV network core, giving you predictable performance, transparent pricing, and consistent global behaviour. Each SIM integrates seamlessly with OV ONE, our in-house Connectivity Management Platform, allowing you to monitor and control every connection in one place.

180+ countries and 600+ networks

Multi-IMSI architecture for best-available network selection

Flexible data pools and SIM group management

Full visibility via the OV ONE dashboard and APIs

Enterprise-grade security with IoT SAFE, IMEI Lock, and geofencing

IoT devices

Designed for IoT Devices.

OV’s IoT SIMs are purpose-built for connected products and devices, not smartphones. They support long-term deployments, low power consumption, and consistent behaviour across multiple device types and environments. Applications:

01

Fleet and vehicle telematics

02

POS and payment systems

03

Industrial and asset tracking

04

Telecare and safety devices

Security

Enterprise-Grade Security Built In.

OV ONE provides multiple layers of security to protect your IoT devices and data from unauthorised access, fraud, and cyber threats. Our security architecture covers platform controls, application-level protection, network layer security, and traffic filtering.

Platform Security:

  • Instant SIM Provisioning & Ceasing: Enable or disable service instantly to prevent fraudulent usage until SIMs are in secure environments
  • Custom Monitoring & Alerts: Real-time notifications for suspicious behaviour or status changes across your SIM estate
  • Session-Level Control: Activate, pause, and monitor every SIM in real-time via OV ONE

Application Security:

  • IoT SAFE: GSMA-standard “Root of Trust” providing secure element on SIM for trusted data communications
  • IMEI Lock: Tie SIMs to specific devices, preventing fraudulent use if removed from IoT hardware
  • SIM Applets: Programmable security applications for encryption, authentication, and secure transactions
  • Geofencing: Virtual boundaries with instant alerts when devices move outside defined areas

Network Layer Security:

  • Public APN: Standard secure internet access supported by global MNO infrastructure
  • Private APN: Bespoke network gateway for isolated, secure traffic routing tailored to your requirements
  • VPN Support: Encrypted communication tunnels for healthcare, financial services, and sensitive data applications
  • Fixed IP Addressing: Consistent IP addresses for reliable device monitoring and management
  • Dynamic IP Addressing: Cost-effective IP assignment with address recycling for large estates

Whitelisting & Blacklisting:

  • Data Traffic Filtering: Lock devices to approved IP addresses and URLs, preventing unauthorised endpoint communication
  • SMS Filtering: Control which mobile numbers can send/receive messages to/from devices
  • Voice Barring: Remove voice capability to prevent premium-rate fraud and unauthorised calls
Technical benefits

Built on a True IoT Network Core.

Our SIMs operate directly on OV’s own MNO infrastructure. This gives you lower latency, greater visibility, and total control of your data environment. As the market evolves, our IoT SIMs are fully compatible with eUICC standards and will transition smoothly to SGP.32 orchestration through OV ONE.

Technical Capabilities:

  • In-house managed network core with direct HLR/HSS integration
  • GSMA-compliant roaming agreements across 600+ networks
  • Multi-IMSI technology for automatic best-network selection
  • Non-steered SIM technology without restrictive PLMN lists
  • Support for 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, NB-IoT, and LTE-M technologies
  • API-first architecture with full programmatic access to all features
  • Real-time session monitoring with 31 days historical data
  • Bulk operations supporting up to 1,000 SIM activations at once

Integration & Automation:

  • AWS IoT integration for cloud-native deployments
  • HTTP POST endpoints for webhook automation
  • RabbitMQ message queue integration for event-driven architectures
  • SMTP email alerts for usage thresholds and system events
  • Complete API documentation at docs.worldov.com/reference

FAQs

Common Questions About OV IoT SIMs.

IoT SIMs are designed for devices, not handsets. They are built for long lifecycles, low data rates, and continuous remote operation with enhanced security features like IMEI Lock and IoT SAFE.

Yes. OV’s IoT SIMs connect to over 600 networks across 180+ countries with support for 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, NB-IoT, and LTE-M technologies. Read full details of our IoT coverage including our country and network list.

Yes. All OV SIMs are fully managed through OV ONE, our in-house Connectivity Management Platform, with complete API access for automation.

OV ONE includes IoT SAFE (Root of Trust), IMEI Lock, geofencing, Private APN, VPN support, data traffic filtering, and customisable monitoring alerts as standard.

Set data caps per SIM with automatic suspension, receive real-time CDRs, and access 31 days of historical usage data for complete cost visibility.

Multi-IMSI technology allows an IoT SIM to hold multiple operator identities and automatically select the best available network based on signal strength and availability. This improves resilience, reduces downtime, and avoids restrictive network steering, ensuring optimal connectivity as devices move or conditions change.
