What it means for IoT devices on 4ka
- 2G keeps running for now. 4ka has announced no closing date, so 2G fallback still helps devices that roam in Slovakia, but new designs should not depend on it.
- For new devices, choose 4G-based technologies: LTE Cat-1 bis, LTE-M or NB-IoT where the network offers them.
- Foreign SIMs in Slovakia: permanent roaming is governed by the EU roaming regulation, which generally allows it under wholesale agreements between operators. Details on the Slovakia page.
An M2M.global IoT SIM is not tied to a single network in a country, and its data can reach your cloud without the internet through private delivery.
