SIM card recommendations

Before installing the SIM cards, please apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM card contacts for devices used in environments with high-vibration levels. This will help avoid SIM cards losing touch with the SIM slot and prevent unexpected failures.
Industrial Grade SIM cards are recommended for devices requiring a long lifespan used in environments with extreme temperatures, corrosive or extra humid climates, or hard-to-reach locations.
