Roaming restrictions are imposed by country regulators or networks and only allow a SIM to roam for a limited period in one particular country. Once the device reaches that limit, it is automatically kicked out of the network. This is a significant concern for IoT devices that are supposed to roam in a country for many years.
As of today, Brazil, India, Turkey, and Canada have the strictest regulatory restrictions in place to prevent permanent roaming.
To avoid permanent roaming restrictions, we are working on setting up localized profiles for these countries. In the case of Brazil, our customers can already download and enable our localized profile in Brazil for their eSIM via 1oT Terminal.
The local profile solves permanent roaming restrictions and has lower latency and extra security features for critical deployments.
