How Simsonic works, end to end

The mental model: one subscriber, many networks, a provable identity and a console to run it all.

5 min read · Updated

Simsonic is a connectivity and identity layer between your devices and the world’s mobile networks. You buy one product, a subscriber, and it behaves like a subscription on every carrier you need, in every country you operate, with no carrier contract of your own.

Every subscriber gives you three things

  • Reach. A multi-IMSI profile that attaches to 1,200+ networks and steers to the strongest one automatically.
  • Control. A console and API to provision, group, suspend, bill and watch every subscriber in real time.
  • Identity. A tamper-evident Hyper ID minted at activation so a device can prove it is what it claims to be.

What happens when a subscriber comes alive

  1. You create a subscriber and assign it a tariff and a customer group.
  2. The profile is provisioned to the SIM or eSIM, over the air for eSIM, pre-loaded for physical SIM.
  3. The device powers on, the modem scans and the subscriber attaches to the best network via multi-IMSI steering.
  4. A Hyper ID is issued and the first session opens. You watch it go live in Insight Tools within seconds.
