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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about UCOM IoT SIMs for digital signage.
Many screens are in places where fixed broadband isn't practical, such as roadside billboards, shopping centre kiosks, pop-up stores and event venues. An IoT SIM gives each screen its own mobile data connection, so your content updates don't depend on venue Wi-Fi or costly cabling.
UCOM IoT SIMs work with most signage media players and 4G routers that take a SIM card. Not sure if your device is compatible? Call 1800 008 266 or send us an enquiry, and one of our IoT specialists will check if your device is compatible.
Yes. With your signage content management system (CMS) connected over an IoT SIM, you can update, schedule and monitor content across every screen from one dashboard. You can change menu boards and pricing, launch campaigns across hundreds of locations at once, and do it all without an on-site visit.
It mostly depends on the type of content and how often it changes. Static images, text and menu boards use very little data. Video uses much more, especially in high resolution or when content is updated often. Most signage players download content once, store it on the device and play it from local storage, which keeps data use low. Live-streamed video is the exception and uses much more data.
- IoT 500: static images, menu boards and text-based displays with occasional updates.
- IoT 2GB: screens showing video that's refreshed regularly.
- IoT 3GB: larger video libraries or frequent campaign changes.
Data is pooled across SIMs on the same plan, so screens with light updates balance out busier ones. If your screens stream live video, talk to our team first so we can recommend the right setup.
Any data used over your allowance is charged per MB at your plan's excess rate. With same-plan pooling, you're only charged excess if your whole pool goes over. You can also set usage alerts in the Control Centre to spot unusual activity early.
Yes. IoT SIMs connect billboards wherever there's Optus mobile coverage, so you avoid the cost and delay of installing fixed lines at roadside or regional sites. You can rotate advertiser campaigns and push updates to your whole billboard network from one platform.
Yes. IoT SIMs give you a self-contained connection that moves with your screens from venue to venue, whether at a convention centre, an outdoor festival or a pop-up installation. Your displays can be up and running with the right content from the moment doors open, without relying on venue internet.
Yes. Accounts with 10 or more SIMs get access to the Optus IoT Control Centre, powered by Cisco Jasper. You can see every screen's SIM status and data usage, manage SIMs, and set automated alerts, all from one dashboard.
No. All plans are month to month with no lock-in and no minimum order. That makes them a good fit for short-term campaigns, events and pop-ups as well as permanent installations.
