SIM Card Recommendations

• Before installing SIM cards, apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM card contacts for devices used in environments with high-vibration levels. This helps prevent SIM cards from losing contact and avoids unexpected failures.
• Industrial Grade SIM cards are recommended for devices requiring a long lifespan, especially in environments with extreme temperatures, corrosive or humid climates, or hard-to-reach locations.
