Subscription Options
The default option for Ai1 SIM card supply depends on the destination country:
1.
For Ai1’s delivered to USA,
an activated Verizon SIM is typically included.
2.
For Ai1’s delivered to Australia, an activated Telstra SIM is typically included.
3.
For all other countries, a Global SIM is typically included.
For clients that want their own SIM’s to be used it is recommende
d to have the SIM card sent to Xylem, for fitting in
the factory. For larger customers that manage their own account, the blank SIM card can be supplied with the
identification number which can be activated under their existing account. It is strongly recommended to use Post-
Paid SIM cards as Pre-Paid SIM cards almost always result in periods of data outage.

Global SIM. The Global SIM provides greatly simplified cellular connection for almost anywhere around the world, at
economical prices. The Global SIM allows up to 25MB/month/station, typically included in the Eagle.io

steps outlined here.

Switch to the
Settings Editor
tab, under
Cellular
,
scroll down to
Cell List Network Operators

responses, and then reconnect. If this option does
not exist, your DevConfig needs to be updated.
