Made to suit all type of Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
UCOM IoT SIM cards can power a wide range of applications. From GPS tracking and security cameras to lifts, vending machines, EFT terminals, digital signage and beyond.
Connecting directly to an Australian network means better performance.
Direct local carrier connectivity keeps data within Australia's borders, reducing latency and improving reliability. For time-sensitive devices such as payment gateways, this eliminates costly timeouts. Local network routing also significantly enhances location accuracy, making it the ideal choice for GPS tracking applications.

Your IoT Data Stays in Australia
Many IoT SIMs sold in Australia are foreign-based products simply roaming local networks, meaning your mobile data takes an unnecessary trip overseas.
Our Optus IoT SIMs keep mobile data onshore, so it never leaves the country.
IoT Data SIM Plans and Pricing
Stay connected for less with our flexible, low-cost IoT plans, designed to scale with your deployment. Choose from a range of data allowances to match your exact usage needs. Reduce costs further with same-plan data pooling, so shared data goes further across your entire device fleet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking about connecting UCOM IOT SIMs, or just want to know more? We've answered the most common questions right here. Can't find what you're looking for? Our Team is always happy to help.
An IoT SIM is a specialised data SIM built to connect Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices to mobile networks. Unlike a regular SIM, it's designed for low-power, long-term deployments and reliable remote connectivity across devices like trackers, sensors and terminals.
Unlike consumer SIMs made for phones, IoT SIMs are engineered for devices that run continuously and often without anyone monitoring them. They're hardier by design and bring capabilities like stronger network resiliency, shared data pooling across your fleet, and a single online portal to manage everything. IoT SIMs are specifically designed for M2M communication, tracking and sensors rather than everyday phone use.
They suit a wide range of applications including GPS tracking, security cameras, lifts and elevators, vending machines, EFTPOS/EFT terminals, digital signage, telematics, irrigation and sprinkler systems, smart devices, iPads and other portable equipment.
Same-plan data pooling lets devices on the same plan share their combined data allowance. This means unused data on one SIM offsets heavier usage on another, helping reduce excess charges across your whole fleet.
No. All IoT plans are month-to-month with no lock-in contracts, giving you flexibility to scale your deployment up or down.
No. UCOM supports anything from a single SIM to large-scale deployments, with plans designed to scale with your rollout.
UCOM IoT SIMs connect directly to the Optus network as a local Australian product rather than a foreign SIM roaming onshore. Keeping data within Australia reduces latency, improves reliability for time-sensitive devices like payment gateways, and enhances location accuracy for GPS tracking.
You get a single device list with live usage and in-session status per SIM, filtering and search across thousands of devices, monthly usage charts, built-in diagnostic tools, automation rules for alerts and auto-suspend, and full connection history with an audit trail.
You can drill into any SIM to view live session data and usage trends, then set automation rules to throttle, suspend or alert the moment a device behaves unexpectedly, catching issues before they become costly.
UCOM IoT SIMs run on the Optus network, which covers 98.5% of the Australian population across its 4G and 5G rollout network. This reaches capital cities as well as regional and rural areas, so your devices stay connected across most of the country. Because the SIMs connect directly to a local Australian carrier rather than roaming as a foreign product, you also get lower latency, better reliability and improved location accuracy. For precise coverage at a specific deployment site, it's best to check the address against Optus's coverage map or ask the UCOM team.
