Case Study
SIMcontrol for
Ev Charging

Industry Overview

EV charging runs on data. Chargers, site gateways and payment terminals need reliable backhaul to authorise sessions, push OCPP telemetry, apply firmware updates and settle payments. Sites are diverse and distributed—public fast-charge hubs, retail destinations, offices and fleet depots—often with mixed networks and vendors.

The challenge

  • Mixed charger OEMs and multiple mobile networks across sites
  • Uptime at risk from patchy coverage and single-network dependence
  • Bill shock from busy locations, roaming events or misconfigured devices
  • Security & compliance needs for payment and platform traffic
  • Slow rollouts with many SIM vendors, bundles and portals

typical use cases

Public AC/DC sites -
Primary or backup mobile backhaul for authorisations and telemetry.
Fleet depots & yards -
Many chargers, shared data pools, SIM-to-device locking.
Retail & workplace charging -
Reliable sessions and simple cost control across branches.
Municipal/utility curbside -
Mixed-vendor fleets managed centrally across networks.
