SIM Cards
Pacewave-branded SIMs for private LTE and 5G networks: one card for every device, loaded with your network identity and ready to authenticate against your core.
One SKU
2FF, 3FF and 4FF break-outs
USIM + ISIM
Data, VoLTE and IMS services
10 years
Data retention
SIM card capability
One card, every form factor
Shipped as a full ID-1 card with 2FF, 3FF and 4FF break-outs, so a single SKU covers handsets, routers and IoT modules.
More than voice and data
ISIM for IMS, so the same card supports VoLTE, VoWiFi and other IMS-based services.
Configurable standard profile
The Pacewave standard profile, with your own PLMN, ICCID, IMSI, IMS, language and service provider name.
Your network, on the card
Every card ships with the Pacewave standard profile. You choose the variables that make it yours.
Pair the cards with a Pacewave Core and devices authenticate against the HSS (4G) or UDM (5G) using MILENAGE, so only your SIMs can attach to your network.
- PLMNYour network code (MCC + MNC), so devices attach to your private network.
- ICCIDThe card serial number range, printed on the card and used for stock and activation.
- IMSISubscriber identities from your own range, matched to your HSS / UDM.
- IMSIMS identities for voice and messaging services on the ISIM.
- LanguagePreferred language for handset prompts.
- Service provider nameThe network name shown on the device, so users see your brand.
