ATM & BANKING CONNECTIVITY - VMI
Challenge
  • Every ATM depends on a live connection to the switch provider to process transactions — when that link fails, the terminal goes offline and customers lose access
  • Fixed-line connections have no fallback — a single network outage can bring an entire ATM fleet to a halt with no automatic path to recovery
  • Without centralised visibility across the fleet, connectivity faults go undetected until customers are already affected — turning a network issue into a service incident
Solution
  • TRAC router adds a dedicated cellular IoT failover link between every ATM and the administration web portal — cutting over instantly and automatically the moment the primary connection drops
  • Multi-network IoT SIM connects to the strongest available carrier automatically — purpose-built for unattended terminal operation, with no dependency on any single operator
  • A centralised management portal provides real-time monitoring of the communication network between ATM service terminals and the switch provider — with remote diagnostics, command execution, and proactive SMS and email alerting
Outcome
  • Optimised parking space utilisation and reduced urban traffic congestion
  • Automatic failover delivers continuous service without manual intervention — operators gain the resilience of a dual-link network without the complexity of fixed redundancy infrastructure
  • Real-time fleet visibility and remote administration cut operational costs significantly — fewer site visits, faster fault resolution, and proactive control across every terminal

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about enterprise IoT eSIM

IoT eSIM is an embedded SIM built on eUICC technology enabling Remote SIM Provisioning and over-the-air (OTA) profile management. It supports scalable industrial IoT connectivity without physical SIM replacement.

melita.io supports GSMA Remote SIM Provisioning standards including SGP.21 and SGP.22, enabling secure enterprise and industrial IoT eSIM deployments through established eUICC-based architectures. Support for SGP.31 and SGP.32 (IoT Remote Manager architecture) is part of our product roadmap, aligning with the GSMA's evolving standards framework for large-scale IoT device management. For large-scale deployments, we support trials to help you move forward today and scale with confidence.

Yes. IoT eSIM enables automatic multi-network connectivity with intelligent failover, allowing devices to connect to the strongest available supported network within the deployment footprint.

Yes. IoT eSIM from melita.io supports secure APN configurations, private IP addressing, VPN frameworks including IPSec, L2TP, and role-based access control through a managed connectivity platform delivering the same level of security and control as physical SIMs.

IoT eSIM enables remote profile management, network adaptability without hardware replacement, reduced SIM logistics, and long-term lifecycle flexibility. Traditional SIM cards require physical IoT SIM swaps and are typically tied to fixed operator configurations.

Yes. IoT eSIM supports high-throughput environments and mass-scale distributed deployments requiring remote lifecycle control and multi-network resilience.

IoT eSIM is downloaded and activated digitally via QR code or Local Profile Assistant (LPA) link (activation code), enabling secure remote profile download without physical SIM handling.

Yes. IoT eSIM minimises SIM swaps, reduces truck rolls and enables remote management of eSIM profiles with flexible data pooling, lowering operational cost and providing a cost-effective solution for long-term IoT projects.

Migration is straightforward. If your devices already support eSIM (eUICC), you can switch to eSIM by downloading profiles remotely, without changing the hardware. If your current devices do not support eSIM, migration typically involves upgrading to eUICC-enabled hardware as part of your next device refresh cycle. In both cases, onboarding and migration can be planned in phases, allowing you to transition at your own pace with minimal disruption.

The IoT eSIM whitepaper provides a practical overview of how eSIM is used in real-world IoT deployments. It outlines key operating models, implementation approaches and considerations for aligning eSIM with business and technical requirements.
