Making Complex Cellular Network Connectivity Easy
GTS Connect Uses Only Smart SIM Cards With Multi-Carrier Cellular Connectivity
Ordinary SIM cards are generally made to work with one wireless carrier while Smart SIMs are made to work with multiple carriers and can be remotely programmed to change carriers. They auto connect to the carrier with the strongest signal or to alternate carriers in the event of an outage.
No Need to Ever Swap the SIM Cards - Future Proof Connectivity
GTS Connect expects 4G wireless service to extend well beyond the next two decades. Most IoT sensors with cellular radios are equipped for 4G, or both 4G and 5G. However, if 4G and 5G service is replaced entirely by 6G (or whatever it may be called) the device will itself need to be replaced. In this situation, GTS Connect will provide a replacement eSIM card compatible with whatever future service is available at no charge to the customer.
Even though 5G technology is now broadly available, 4G is still the better option for devices that use less data. 5G is ideally suited for very high bandwidth applications like video streaming or high-density connectivity. The frequencies used for 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) typically have far better range than those used by 5G, and this results in coverage far exceeding that of the 5G networks.
Single Platform for Global IoT Connectivity Management
GTS Connect can provide connectivity management for all your IoT/M2M deployments around the globe. One platform. One bill.
We can activate, deactivate, suspend, show usage, provide alerts and more.
We provide a login for your company to see and manage all your SIM cards as well as your customers and their SIM cards.
We can also provide an optional login for your customers to see and manage all their SIM cards
Convenient 3-in-1 Form Factor
GTS Connect will ship to you Smart SIMs that allow you to pop out the size you need.
- Mini SIM (2FF)
- Micro SIM (3FF)
- Nano SIM (4FF)
Harsh environment SIMs are also available.
One APN for All SIMs Worldwide
Every Smart SIM card we deploy to every IoT or M2M sensor uses the same APN worldwide. Simple!

Custom Data Plans
Why Pay for Data That Your Sensor Will Never Use?
GTS Connect will create a data plan tailored to the sensor, not an arbitrary minimum that may charge you for much more cellular data than you need.
We generally offer very affordable monthly or annual payment plans with no long-term commitments or contracts.
Use the form below to describe your sensor and how much monthly data it typically requires. GTS Connect will contact you to discuss the type of plan(s) that best meet your needs.
Metered Data Plan
Only pay for data you use. No overage, no wasted data, no contracts.
Cellular data use is priced in tiers. Data use from all SIMs in the account is pooled to grant access to lower cost tiers.
Each SIM has a monthly Connectivity Fee of $4.00 in addition to the cellular data charges.
These SIMs are for IoT/M2M Use Only. Their maximum speed is 25MB/Sec, which is more than enough to stream high-definition video, or 65 TB per month at continuous use at 25MB per second. They cannot be used in cell phones for voice communications.
The rates below are applicable to SIMs deployed in North America and Europe Only. Other countries are available at higher rates.
The cost per SIM is $10.00 each and shipping is free.
| Monthly Usage per Account Pool | Rate Per MB ($ USD) | Rate per GB ($ USD) |
|---|---|---|
| <50MB | $0.025 per MB | $25.00 |
| 50MB to <100MB | $0.0225 per MB | $22.50 |
| 100MB to <250MB | $0.02 per MB | $20.00 |
| 250MB to <500MB | $0.0175 per MB | $17.50 |
| 500MB to <1GB | $0.015 per MB | $15.00 |
| 1GB to <2.5GB | $0.014 per MB | $14.00 |
| 2.5GB to <5GB | $0.013 per MB | $13.00 |
| 5GB to <10GB | $0.012 per MB | $12.00 |
| 10GB to <25GB | $0.011 per MB | $11.00 |
| 25GB to <50GB | $0.010 per MB | $10.00 |
| 50GB to <100GB | $0.0095 per MB | $9.50 |
| 100GB to <250GB | $0.009 per MB | $9.00 |
| 250GB to <500GB | $0.0085 per MB | $8.50 |
| 500GB to <1TB | $0.008 per MB | $8.00 |
| 1TB to <2.5TB | $0.0075 per MB | $7.50 |
| 2.5TB to <5TB | $0.007 per MB | $7.00 |
| >5TB to No Max | $0.00675 per MB | $6.75 |
We offer discounts on data charges when your total SIMs in use reaches:
- 100 SIMs - 5% discount
- 1,000 SIMs - 10% discount
- 10,000 SIMs - 15% discount

Reliable
Virtually No Down Time
All GTS Connect SIMs Come With Multi-Carrier Connectivity
To improve reliability, connectivity, and reduce downtime, GTS Connect uses Smart SIMs for all IoT or M2M deployments for all customers. Smart SIMs have multi-carrier capability and will automatically transfer service from the primary carrier to a secondary carrier if the primary carrier has a service outage or poor connectivity in a particular location.
Wi-Fi connections are notoriously unreliable, making Wi-Fi unsuitable for most industrial installations. Cellular connections can also fail, but generally do not require intervention to reconnect.
Secure
Cellular Provides Safe Point-to-point Connections
Wi-Fi Connections Can Expose Corporate and Industrial Networks to Ransomware
Virtually no business or industrial customers will allow sensors to connect to proprietary data networks whether by ethernet or Wi-Fi. Cellular connectivity solves this problem with point-to-point encryption.
Security Management Platform
GTS Connect also offers a robust security management solution that meets more stringent requirements for data security and device tampering. We can provide:
- SIM Card and Device ID Pairing
- Any movement of the Smart SIM card from its assigned device to any other type of device will create an identity mismatch resulting in the immediate suspension of service to that device.
- Automatic service suspension for numerous additional criteria
- GTS Connect Smart SIM cards are monitored in real time to detect anomalous device behavior based on numerous programmable criteria and includes automatic service suspension to prevent data breaches, network risks and unauthorized usage.
- White-list and black-list capabilities (destination IP restrictions)
- GTS Connect continuously monitors all Smart SIM cards and the devices they are providing service to. The Smart SIM cards can connect to specific URLs (uniform resource locator) and their associated IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. This is called a whitelist.
- Connections to other specific undesirable URLs can be prevented through the use of a blacklist.
