Have you purchased a 2G device from us? If so, the following information is relevant to you.
Telecommunications operators in several countries are already switching off or scaling back 2G infrastructure, with further shutdowns planned through 2025–2030 depending on the country. If you use a Mobeye 2G device with your own SIM card, you can prolong its lifespan by choosing a provider that still reliably supports 2G.
Alternatively, consider the Mobeye SIM/Portal service, which provides a multi-provider Mobeye telemetry SIM card. This keeps your device running for as long as possible — until the last provider in your country discontinues 2G. Only at that point will switching to a 4G module become necessary.
Devices manufactured from mid-2017 onwards are compatible with the Mobeye SIM/Portal, depending on the product. For questions or further details, contact us via the contact form.
In Brief: How to Extend the Lifespan of Your 2G Device
- Choose a reliable GSM provider. 2G shutdowns are already underway in some countries, with more to follow. Selecting a mobile provider that continues to support 2G will keep your Mobeye device operational for longer.
- Use the Mobeye SIM/Portal service. This service provides a multi-provider Mobeye telemetry SIM card, keeping your device running until the last 2G provider in your country ceases its service — the most future-proof option available.
- Switch to 4G only when necessary. Your 2G device can continue to function until 2G is no longer available in your country. Only then does switching to a 4G module become essential.
- Check device compatibility. Devices manufactured from mid-2017 onwards may be compatible with the Mobeye SIM/Portal service, depending on the product. Contact us via the contact form for details.
By exploring these options, you can ensure that your Mobeye 2G products remain operational for an extended period.
