EXPECTED RESULTS
Our devices are already in the field. Can we swap in a 1NCE SIM without changing the hardware?
In most cases, yes. If your current device uses a standard SIM slot (2FF, 3FF, or 4FF), the 1NCE SIM is a drop-in replacement. You'd configure the APN settings once, and the SIM handles the rest, including automatic network selection across countries. If you're designing a new revision, the solderable chip variant gives you an even cleaner integration.
How does 1NCE support pharma/life sciences compliance environments, and how is data routed into platforms like GRASP 3.0?
For pharmaceutical cold chain, the key requirements are unbroken data transmission, a secure data path, and documented network availability. 1NCE covers all three: the private APN keeps your temperature data on an isolated network (not shared public internet), the SIM’s multi-network design minimises coverage gaps during transit, and we can provide network coverage documentation for specific countries if your customers require it for GDP or FDA audit purposes. Data from your field devices travels via the 1NCE SIM through either a private APN or public IP directly to your endpoints (such as GRASP 3.0). There is no intermediary 1NCE platform in the data path - your payload is delivered exactly where you configure it, making integration straightforward for any platform that supports standard cellular IoT data formats.
We remanufacture reefer controllers, many of which run for 10–15 years. How does 1NCE pricing map to that lifecycle?
That's exactly the use case the Lifetime Flat was designed for. The 10-year flat price means you can treat connectivity & software as a one-time cost at the point of manufacture or remanufacture, without recurring billing to manage and contracts to renew mid-device-life. For devices that outlast the 10-year window, renewal is available.
BEACON relies on real-time alerts to yard personnel. What's the latency like on 1NCE?
For alert-type payloads, small data packets triggered by an event, latency on LTE-M and NB-IoT is typically well within the range required for yard operations. These technologies were designed for this pattern: infrequent, low-power transmissions that need to be reliable rather than high-throughput. For dense terminal environments with lots of signal interference, NB-IoT's deeper penetration gives you better reliability than standard 4G in those conditions.
