Data SIM Features: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:07, 23 March 2021

Our 4G LTE data SIMS have the following features:

Small monthly cost (usage is on top)
Fixed/static public IPs
Additional routed blocks of IPs
Alongside our DSL services, IP addresses can fallback from the ADSL to the SIM for failover
Custom printed cards are available
Wholesale options (e.g. routing to our own LNS via L2TP)
No filtering
No blocked ports
No NAT
4G LTE enabled (since the end of January 2017)

More details and ordering on our main website.

Technical details

SIM Sizes

Data SIMs are provided on a full size SIM card with push out mini-SIM, and within that a push out micro-SIM. We also print the nano-SIM outline.

APN

The APN need not be set in the UK, if required then set to:

m2m.aql.net

Username and password are not normally needed unless using as ADSL backup or with corporate L2TP relay (see below).

The IPv4 is allocated automatically. The legacy IP (i.e. our end of PPP link) is usually not meaningful and may show as 10.64.64.64. We can route blocks of IPv4s as well. Full 1500 byte MTU is supported.

The Data SIM only works on 3G or 4G LTE, and is using the Three network. Do check their web site for coverage details. 4G/LTE is enabled by default on the SIMs and can't be disabled

SIMs can take roughly 30 minutes to suspend or activate from the Control Panel.
