Tim Müller, Managing Director wherever SIM GmbH
When monitoring cold chains, securing cash-in-transit operations, transmitting vital data, or activating backup systems, uninterrupted connectivity is critical. Together with the German company Crout, Telefónica Germany has launched the new 2CoreSIM - an IoT solution that combines two independent network profiles on a single SIM card and automatically switches to the alternative connection if one network experiences an outage.
"Crout develops IoT solutions for businesses that view connectivity not as an add-on, but as a core part of their operations. Together with Telefónica Germany, we're bringing resilient connectivity to environments where downtime is especially costly, risky, or business-critical. The solution reduces complexity while embedding high availability directly into the SIM card."
Frank Kiesewetter, CEO Crout
