Data SIM Features

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)
• In the UK, roams on the Three network.

Basic settings:

If the connection does not work work with default settings, then use:

• APN: m2m.aql.com
• Roaming: Enabled

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.com 

Username and password are not normally needed unless using as DSL 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.

The Data SIM only works 4G & 5G, and is using the Bluewave network. Bluewave have real masts on the Isle of Man, so in the rest of the UK the datasims will roam. - this is expected and doesn't affect costs. You may need to enable roaming on the device though.

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

PIN and PUK

Are shown on the Control Pages with the other settings for the SIM.
