The Future of EV Charger Manufacturing: Why OEMs Are Integrating GleeSIM IoT Connectivity
As the global EV market advances at record speed, charger manufacturers face increasing demands for smarter systems, robust performance, and uninterrupted connectivity. As charging networks scale into tens of thousands of locations, manufacturers must ensure their hardware remains operational regardless of local broadband constraints.
Traditional Wi-Fi and fixed-line connections often fail to meet these requirements. Installations in underground car parks, remote roadside sites, rural areas, or commercial facilities frequently suffer from unstable broadband or poor Wi-Fi penetration.
This is why leading EV charger manufacturers worldwide are turning to GleeSIM’s purpose-built IoT SIM solution — engineered to provide unmatched reliability, security, and plug-and-play deployment for next-generation EV charging hardware.
GleeSIM: Engineered Connectivity for Intelligent EV Charger Hardware
GleeSIM provides a specialised IoT SIM designed for EV chargers, enabling embedded, always-on connectivity directly through the charger router or communication module.
Our solution is widely adopted by OEMs who require:
-
Non-steered roaming for maximum uptime
-
Secure APN and encrypted traffic paths
-
Effortless integration with OCPP platforms
-
Reliable communication even in broadband-poor environments
With Plug & Play activation, manufacturers can ship hardware pre-configured and ready for field installation — reducing installer workload and improving customer satisfaction.
Why EV Charger Manufacturers Are Integrating GleeSIM at Production Level
Below are the strongest advantages for OEMs embedding our IoT SIM technology directly into their hardware design.
1. Guaranteed Connectivity in Any Location
IoT SIMs ensure chargers remain connected in:
-
