The Future is here: Neptune Cellular Endpoint with eSIM Technology brings Seamless Multi-Carrier Connectivity
The Neptune cellular endpoint can be a powerful addition to your AMI system. By utilizing existing cellular networks, it eliminates the operational burden of having to put up your own infrastructure.
However, some cellular carriers are more effective in some locations than others, so how do you pick which one you want to power your cellular endpoint?
Due to advancements in cellular technology, there’s no need to worry about that anymore. Neptune has engineered the first and only cellular endpoint supporting all of the major nationwide cellular carriers.
This is all thanks to eSIM technology, something that has been around for some time, but at Neptune we’re making use of it in a way that hasn’t been taken advantage of in the industry.
But first, some context. An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a programmable digital chip built directly into a device, enabling it to connect to a cellular network remotely. It replaces the traditional SIM card and supports compatibility with multiple cellular carriers.
Because the eSIM is built into Neptune’s cellular endpoints, the endpoints can remotely and automatically switch between different carriers as needed, ensuring consistent connectivity and optimal performance. This feature is especially great for utilities that need multiple cellular carriers for coverage across their service area.
Not only is this important for ensuring you get your water data no matter where the endpoint is located; it can simplify procurement and reduce inventory complexity since you only need to buy one cellular endpoint. Additionally, you can streamline the deployment of endpoints across your entire territory by simplifying installation with no need to program, eliminating downtime and ensuring consistent flow of data.
Whether you’re in bustling urban areas or isolated rural locations, users can rely on consistent data transmission, even in the most demanding environments.
