As we all know, the Internet of Things card is an important cornerstone for the realization of the Internet of Things technology, and is currently widely used in many fields such as smart home, smart wearable, smart healthcare, smart city, and smart agriculture. What are the classifications of IoT cards? According to different classification criteria, IoT cards can be divided into many types.
1.Categorized according to usage scenarios:
Consumer IoT card: Mainly used in personal or family scenarios, such as smart home, smart wear, etc., to provide traffic, voice, SMS and other services.
IIoT cards: Mainly used in industrial scenarios, such as intelligent manufacturing and intelligent logistics, they need to meet the requirements of high reliability, low latency, and large number of connections.
Public service Internet of Things card: It is mainly used in public facility scenarios, such as smart transportation, smart city, etc., for data collection, information transmission and other services.
2.Classified according to physical form:
Plug-in IoT card: also known as MP card, it is divided into two types: consumer grade and industrial grade. Consumer-grade IoT cards are mainly used in personal or home scenarios, while industrial-grade IoT cards are suitable for industrial scenarios.
SMD IoT card: also known as MS card, it is divided into two types: ordinary card and industrial-grade card. The ordinary card is suitable for general scenarios, while the industrial-grade card is suitable for industrial-grade scenarios.
3.Classified according to the network standard:
4G 5G IoT card: An IoT card based on the 4G 5G network standard with high-speed data transmission and low latency.
NB-IoT card: An IoT card based on the NB-IoT network standard, which is suitable for low-power, low-rate, and large-connection scenarios.
LoRa IoT card: An IoT card based on the LoRa network standard, which is suitable for long-distance, low-power, and low-data-rate IoT application scenarios.
4.Categorized according to the type of service:
Standard IoT card: Issued by an operator, it provides basic communication services and is suitable for general IoT devices.
VPDN private network card: provides virtual private dial-up network services for scenarios that require secure communication and data encryption.
International IoT card: It is suitable for international roaming scenarios and supports data communication services in many countries and regions around the world.
5.Classified according to special needs:
eSIM IoT card: An IoT card based on eSIM technology that does not require a physical SIM card to provide communication services, and is suitable for scenarios where device space is limited.
Customized IoT card: According to the needs of specific application scenarios, customized IoT cards, such as customized traffic**, customized communication services, etc.
Multi-mode IoT card: An IoT card that supports multiple communication modes and network standards, and is suitable for scenarios that need to support multiple network services at the same time.
