Hey everyone,
I am curious to know if anyone here made experiences using the sim injector in a datacenter or a different location with public IP and port forwarding so the mobile router which is using one of the sim injectors sims is connected over internet (and not LAN) with the sim injector?
Already searched the forum, but could not find anything about it. The only information I got was in the manual, where it is mentioned as a possible use case.
best regards,
Ben
Hi Ben!
Yes, we do this with the flex module in a SDX PRO. The documentation for the flex module is lacking, so we used the manual for the Sim Injector with remote installation. This works great, but there are no UI for the sim injector flex module that tells which slots that are used or anything else, so in the case of the flex module I recommend keeping a good record of the different slots.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Theodor
Hi Theodor,
thanks for the information! Good to hear so far!
What kind of WANs do you field/remote routers have then to make the initial connection to the SDX Pro with the flex module?
Do you also have cellular only setups with for example one physical sim card in the device, or always something in addition to that like fibre/DSL/Starlink?
Iām not an expert in this, but my understanding is that the routers get the sim-information through any wan that has access to the internet. Our setup consists of both cellular, Ethernet and Wifi WANs. The routers will always need a backup wan or backup sim-card to fetch the remote sim-information.
The flex-module is installed in the SDX pro with a fixed puplic IP and that is used in combination with the SDX serial number to identify the module. This is my understanding after trail and error 
What setup do you have or plan to have?
Okay, thanks!
The Plan would be to share a limited number of sim cards (with unlimited traffic) with some more routers than cards available and to be able use them with all routers (of course not at the same time) but without having to change the cards physically between the mobile routers as they are not at the same position most of the time.
As it might occur that there could be cellular only situations (e.g. 1 physical simcard inside the mobile router and one remote sim) I was interested if you had experience with that, but I think from my understanding now that your information already convinced me to get the Sim Injector Mini and do some testing 
Sound like a good plan 
Your setup should work since you set the priority for the cellular SIM card (fw 8,3) so that the physical SIM is used for the initial connection and then retrieve the remote sim.
Just remember to check if the routers actually supportās remote simā¦ 
Quick check on the router; Advanced tab, find āRemote SIM managementā in the menu.
Good luck!.
@Ben_Ka another option you can give it a try is FusionSIM. We are still in Beta phase, but it was specifically designed keep SIM cards in Datacenter, while routers can be elsewhere.
Can you share also more about your application ?
Just drawed something quick and dirty as a visualization - hope that helps.
Found it hard to get more information about FusionSim - do you have something like a whitepaper/brochure - also regarding price models, subscription plans and so on!
?
I am always interested in testing new stuff, so it might be an option for me to take a look at it
Hi Ben,
I will write you in PM, as I mentioned we are still in Beta and not officially launched
