Why a private managed APN network?
Mainly because the alternative Public APN (available on PAYG and contract SIMs from Vodafone, O2, Orange and T-Mobile) is not robust enough for business applications:
- Inadequate security of data during transmission
- SIMS “drop off” the network
- Restricted management reporting from the data network
- Inability to manage many remote devices in real time
- No device to device communication
- Excessive development time in developing applications
- Integration difficulties with existing IT networks
- More data usage owing to bigger packets to deal with Nat translation
- More latency, for the aforementioned reason
By contrast, a private APN network offers:
- Device specific IP addressability
- Peer to Peer (P2P), two way connectivity
- Simple SIM based network management and control
- VPN capability to replace leased and fixed line systems
- Faster and easier development, operation and maintenance of M2M solutions
- Authentication mechanisms
- Same infrastructure for multiple applications and customers
- Convenient integration to many different back-end systems
- Flexibility and scalability for busoness solutions
