KeySIM works closely with Solwise, one of the UK's largest distributors of IoT, industrial networking and connectivity hardware.

Through this partnership, we are able to offer customers proven hardware solutions that work seamlessly with KeySIM IoT SIM cards and connectivity services. Many IoT projects fail not because of connectivity, but because the wrong hardware is selected for the application.

This resource centre brings together practical information, setup guides and real-world deployment advice for hardware commonly used alongside KeySIM connectivity.

Pre-Configured Hardware Available

For customers deploying multiple devices, Solwise can provide hardware with KeySIM SIM cards already installed and ready for deployment.

Where required, custom configuration files can also be loaded before dispatch — routers and gateways can arrive pre-configured with the correct APN settings, VPN profiles, fixed IP settings, Wi-Fi configurations and other project-specific requirements.

This service can significantly reduce installation times, simplify large-scale rollouts and minimise the amount of configuration work required on site.

Hardware Guides

Choose the right hardware for your deployment

Each guide covers typical applications, configuration options and how the hardware works with KeySIM connectivity.

Why Hardware Matters

Hardware and connectivity must work together

Successful IoT deployments require more than simply inserting a SIM card into a device. Factors such as antenna performance, power consumption, environmental conditions, network technology and remote management capability all play a significant role in long-term reliability.

Whether you require resilient multi-network connectivity, fixed IP addresses, VPN access, private APNs, LTE-M connectivity or remote management, the hardware guides in this section are designed to help you build reliable and secure IoT solutions.

Antenna Performance

The right antenna for your frequency bands and environment makes a measurable difference to signal reliability and uptime.

Remote Recovery

Routers with SMS commands and ping reboot capabilities can often recover from outages without requiring a site visit.

Power Consumption

For battery-powered and solar deployments, hardware power efficiency directly affects operational costs and maintenance cycles.

Environmental Rating

Industrial-grade hardware is designed for the temperature ranges, humidity and vibration found in real-world field deployments.
