As the world moves towards smarter, more connected metering systems, Aircom, developed by MANAS Energy, leads the way with cutting-edge technologies such as eSIM (MFF2 format) for its NB-IoT and GPRS communication modules.
🔹 What is MFF2 eSIM?
The MFF2 (Machine Form Factor 2) is a solderable embedded SIM card, specifically designed for IoT devices. Unlike traditional plug-in SIMs, the MFF2 is mounted directly onto the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) during production, ensuring durability, compactness, and resistance to harsh field conditions.
🔹 Why Aircom Uses MFF2 eSIMs
✅ Industrial-Grade StabilitySoldered directly on the PCB, the MFF2 offers a more robust and reliable solution for field deployments.
✅ Space EfficiencyAllows for compact designs in Aircom’s NB-IoT and GPRS modules.
✅ Seamless IoT ConnectivitySupports NB-IoT and GSM/GPRS technologies, depending on your operator and module configuration.
🔹 Customer Responsibility: Provide SIMs in Advance
Since the eSIM is physically soldered during production, MANAS kindly requests partners to:
Provide MFF2 SIM cards before production begins
Ensure NB-IoT is activated by the selected network operator
Share APN settings and NB-IoT frequency band information with MANAS in advance
This ensures proper configuration and flawless device performance from the moment of delivery.
🔹 Recommended Operators
Due to limited NB-IoT roaming, local operators with confirmed NB-IoT coverage are preferred. However, virtual IoT connectivity providers such as:
may also be used if NB-IoT service is available and reliable in the target deployment country.
