Cellular connectivity & SIM cards
Steps to determine WILD-M Logger connection
To ascertain if a WILD-M logger will connect in a particular location, follow these 4 steps:
Check Network Support:
We support Telstra network in Australia, Verizon network in USA, and Vodafone Global in New Zealand and UK.
For any other country, determine if the country supports 4G LTE-M and/or NB-IoT. Use the GSMA IoT Deployment Map for reference.
Verify SIM Roaming:
Confirm if the SIM supports roaming to the desired country. Note:
Native SIMs like Telstra and Verizon support their home countries automatically.
Global SIMs like Vodafone Global may have limited roaming to specific countries (see the table below).
Assess Coverage:
Check if the specific location within the country has adequate LTE-M or NB-IoT coverage. Refer to:
Telstra IoT Coverage Map for Telstra.
Verizon Global Coverage Map for Verizon.
One.nz IoT coverage for One New Zealand (ex Vodafone)
For other countries, consult the coverage maps on the local operator's website. Search for "IoT coverage."
Consider the Antenna:
The default “multi-band stubby” antenna is suited for good signal in most countries. But consider the 4G frequency bands in your country and use a custom antenna if required.
If the location has patchy or low signal, consider using a High-Gain antenna
Note: Even if all four steps return positive results, there is no absolute guarantee of coverage. In some cases, conducting a field test may be necessary.
Wildeye WILD-M loggers operate only on 4G LTE-M (Cat-M1) & NBIoT networks.
The standard SIM's we use are:
For Australia = Telstra
For USA = Verizon
For the rest of the world = Vodafone Global
There are also some options for supplying your own SIM cards. Please read the details here:
