Release 4.0.0 - July 9, 2020
Visibility and control of network events via SFTP-based transfer - BICS’ SIM for Things portal provides visibility of network events relating to your connected devices, which are available to download at any time. This data provides invaluable insights into your connected business and it can now be delivered automatically to your data center. With our new functionality, preferred network events such as location-update or create-PDP will be sent through a secure SFTP-based file transfer in pseudo real time. Receive a regular stream of the SIM-level detail you need to take control of your IoT devices around the world.
Protection against theft and unlawful data usage with IMEI lock management APIs - With the BICS SIM for Things portal, IMEI locking and unlocking capabilities are now available via APIs for increased security against theft and unlawful data usage. Activate auto locking of a SIM to its device from the first time it is used. That way, if an attempt is made to set up a data session from a different device, it is automatically blocked by the SIM for Things platform.
