Agriculture IoT Data SIM Cards
Multi-network data SIMs for soil probes, irrigation controllers and livestock trackers — on land where one operator's coverage is the difference between a reading and a drive out to the far field.
Fields are chosen for soil, not for signal
Nobody picks a field because the coverage is good. The probe goes where the crop is, the trough monitor goes where the stock is, and whether that spot can see a mast is somebody else's problem — usually yours, in August.
Up to four networks, one SIM
In the UK, France and Spain a Wave SIM reaches four operators. In Germany, Italy and Ireland, three. Rural coverage varies enormously between them, so the one that works at the yard often is not the one that works at the top field.
Profile changes without a trip out
On hardware that supports remote provisioning we load or switch the network profile for you from our side — no quad bike, no opening a sealed enclosure in the rain. It depends on the device, so ask us whether yours qualifies.
Buy the data, not a contract
30-day and 12-month plans are bought outright, with no monthly tie and no minimum fleet size — which suits kit that only earns its keep for part of the year.
What a single network costs you
Agricultural data fails quietly, in the season when you are least able to go and look.
One mast, and a hill in the way
Valley bottoms, woodland edges and the lee side of a rise are all places where exactly one operator reaches, or none does. A single-network SIM in that spot has nothing to fall back on.
Rural cells fill up seasonally
Harvest traffic, a campsite in July, an event in the next village. The cell that carried your sensors all spring is suddenly contended at the point in the year when the data matters most.
You find out from the crop
A moisture probe that stopped reporting ten days ago does not raise an alarm — it just stops arguing with your irrigation schedule. The cost shows up in the yield, not in a log.
What you'll be connecting
Mostly battery-powered sensors sending very little, very often, for years — plus one or two things that pull far more.
What a farm actually uses
Sensors cost almost nothing to connect. Two things on this list cost real data, and they are the ones people forget to size.
A sensor node
Roughly 5–20 MB a month for a soil probe, tank level or trough monitor reporting hourly. A 1 GB plan runs one for years rather than months.
A controller or weather station
Roughly 50–150 MB a month once schedules, two-way commands and firmware updates are counted.
RTK correction and cameras
The outliers. A continuous correction stream during fieldwork runs 1–3 GB a month, and a yard camera on event clips 2–5 GB. Refills reach 100 GB and pooled data has no cap, so neither is a reason to go elsewhere.
A farm running a dozen sensors and a weather station sits comfortably inside one 6 GB / 12 month plan. Add autosteer correction or a camera on the yard and the 25 GB plan is the one to start from.
These are indicative figures, not measurements of your kit. Tell us what is going where and we will size it properly before you buy anything.
Plans for farms and growers
Prices shown in your own currency. Most agricultural sensors take a standard SIM, so check the slot before choosing the eSIM — though the eSIM is the better choice on a potted or sealed enclosure you would rather never open again.

Common questions
There's barely a bar of signal in that field. Will this help?
Often, yes — because "barely a bar" is usually one operator's story, not all four. Reaching several networks from the same SIM is exactly the case where a spot goes from unusable to usable. It is not magic, though: if nothing reaches that location at all, no SIM fixes it, and an external antenna on a pole will do more than any tariff.
Will it work inside a steel grain store or tank?
Not reliably from inside. Steel cladding and liquid both kill signal regardless of operator. Mount the modem outside with the sensor cabled in, or use an external antenna — that is a siting problem rather than a network one, and worth solving before you buy data.
Can we leave sensors out over the winter?
Yes, and a 12-month plan is usually the cheaper way to do it than switching things off and back on. A sensor reporting hourly through a quiet winter uses almost nothing, so the plan is really buying you the year rather than the gigabytes.
Does the APN change when the SIM switches network?
No. The APN is set once in the device and stays put through reselection, so one configuration works across every sensor you deploy, whichever operator a given corner of the farm ends up attached to.
What if we use more than the plan?
Nothing auto-bills at a surprise rate. Refills on a prepaid plan go up to 100 GB, so a heavy season is a top-up rather than a migration, and the portal can notify you before a plan runs out rather than after. Across several holdings, pooled data has no cap and is quoted — usually simpler than a plan per sensor.

What the sensors are, how many, and roughly where. We'll size the plans against that and send a quote, usually the same day.
