Pre-defined dynamic benefits (non-pooled) – pre-agreed dynamic benefit bundles of data for different countries available to be activated for any device with an exclusive (non-pooled) benefit to that device. Charged by BICS based on the number of bundle activations in a month. Resellers can either define their own dynamic benefit bundles or pass on BICS provided bundles to their children accounts below them

Support Access to child account for Resellers by APIs - Till now Resellers can use the support access to a child account graphically from the SIM for Things Portal when required to provide support or execute any commands emulating their child, Now do the same with APIs, request a child account token and access and execute APIs emulating a child without the need of child user credentials

SIM state change notifications in real-time – Receive any change in the state of any SIM card (device) in real-time through the combination of notifications and call-back APIs directly in your data center. No need to poll and execute thousands of APIs every hour anymore to retrieve any possible status change of the SIM card (device)

5G services control – visualize 5G supporting networks in the coverage, create plans with 5G support and assign to device that need 5G support with usual per endpoint 5G barring capabilities.

Enhanced external RADIUS support (Authentication & Accounting) – Increase end to end security by providing your devices the capability to authenticate using PAP/CHAP with your RADIUS server before allowing a data session. Increase control of your RADIUS accounting by receiving Interim accounting messages also rather than just Start and Stop
