Frequently Asked Questions - Go2Sim

What does M2M stand for?

M2M means "Machine to Machine." It refers to devices communicating with each other automatically, exchanging data without human intervention.

What does IoT stand for?

IoT stands for the "Internet of Things." It’s a network of connected devices - like smart home gadgets or industrial sensors—that share data and respond to their environment.

What is a SIM?

A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that stores information to connect a device to a mobile network, enabling communication and data transfer.

What is an APN?

An APN (Access Point Name) is a network setting on a device that allows it to connect to the internet using mobile data.

What is a Private APN?

A Private APN provides secure, private access to a network, avoiding public internet connections to enhance security and control.

What is the advantage of a Private APN?

A Private APN keeps data secure and isolated from public networks, reducing risks like cyber threats, spam, and unauthorized access.

What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number assigned to a device on a network, like a postal address for sending and receiving data.

What is a Private IP address?

A Private IP address is used within local networks (such as offices or homes) and cannot connect directly to the internet, adding an extra layer of security.

What is a Fixed IP address?

A Fixed IP address is a permanent, unchanging number assigned to a device, allowing it to be easily located on a network - like a phone number that never changes.

What is a Dynamic IP address?

A Dynamic IP address changes each time a device connects to a network, unlike a Fixed IP that remains constant.

What is the advantage of a Private IP address over a Public IP address?

A Private IP keeps a device hidden and secure, preventing direct access from external devices, while a Public IP can be accessed over the internet, increasing exposure to threats.

What is a VPN tunnel?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel is a secure, encrypted connection that allows devices to communicate privately over the internet, protecting data from hackers and cyber threats.

What is a site-to-site VPN tunnel?

A site-to-site VPN tunnel connects two separate networks securely, allowing devices from different locations (like company offices) to access each other as if they were on the same network.

What is 4G?

4G is a high-speed mobile internet network, much faster than 3G, allowing for quick data transfers, HD video streaming, and seamless online browsing.
