OS Contracts enables remote access to customer systems with KeySIM fixed IP connectivity

Altrincham-based EPOS and security systems specialist uses KeySIM IoT SIMs to connect remotely to equipment installed at customer sites.

OS Contracts Ltd is using KeySIM IoT connectivity to provide reliable remote access to systems operating at customer locations.

The Altrincham-based company supplies EPOS tills, CCTV, door access and membership systems. Many of these installations require a dependable internet connection so the OS Contracts team can access equipment remotely without having to visit the site.

KeySIM applied a fixed IP address to each SIM, giving OS Contracts a consistent address through which authorised users can remotely reach the connected equipment.

Unlike an ordinary mobile SIM, where the IP address may change or incoming connections may be restricted, the KeySIM configuration makes secure remote access possible over the mobile network.

The SIMs can connect to Vodafone, O2, EE or Three in the UK, helping equipment remain connected in locations where the strongest available network may vary.

Mike Brookes of OS Contracts Ltd said:

“We needed a straightforward way to access systems remotely at our customers’ sites. KeySIM applied fixed IP addresses to the SIMs, allowing us to connect to the equipment whenever support or maintenance is required.

“It saves time, reduces unnecessary site visits and gives us a reliable solution that we can install at locations where a conventional fixed-line connection may not be practical.”

Graham Robinson, founder of KeySIM, said:

“OS Contracts is a great example of how IoT SIMs with fixed IP addressing can make equipment easier to manage. Their team can securely access connected systems remotely, diagnose issues and provide support without automatically needing to send an engineer to the site.”
