Locate your IoT SIM cards without GPS/GNSS capability
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Belmont, MA, 03-19-2026 – OneSimCard IoT (https://iot.onesimcard.com) today announced the launch of a powerful new geolocation feature within its OSCAR Portal, allowing companies to accurately identify the location of active IoT devices, even if these devices do not have built-in GPS or GNSS capabilities.
This innovation marks a significant advancement for organizations managing distributed IoT deployments in industries such as agriculture, retail and energy.

Solving a critical IoT visibility gap
Until now, businesses that relied on 4G and 5G connectivity had limited visibility into the physical location of their IoT SIM-enabled devices unless those devices included GPS hardware. While older 3G networks previously supported some location capabilities, these are now largely outdated.
With OneSimCard IoT’s new geolocation functionality, users can now pinpoint device locations using cell tower triangulation, providing accuracy within approximately half a mile.
This capability is especially valuable for devices such as:
• Agricultural soil sensors
• Point-of-sale (POS) credit card terminals.
• Routers for EV charging stations
• Industrial IoT equipment

Why geolocation without GPS matters
The ability to locate IoT devices without GPS support offers several strategic benefits:
1. Operational insight
Enterprises gain real-time visibility into where active devices are deployed, reducing blind spots in large-scale IoT ecosystems.
2. Asset tracking and recovery
Organizations can quickly identify lost, moved, or stolen equipment, even if devices don’t have tracking hardware.
3. Network and deployment optimization
By gaining visibility into device distribution, teams can optimize network performance, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and improve infrastructure planning.
4. Cost efficiency
Eliminates the need for expensive GPS hardware integration into low-power or cost-sensitive devices.
5. Compliance and risk management
Ensures devices remain within authorized geographic regions, supporting regulatory compliance and fraud prevention.

Simple, flexible access within OSCAR Portal (https://iot.onesimcard.com/IoT-SIM-card-Management-platform/)
The geolocation feature is seamlessly integrated into OneSimCard’s OSCAR SIM card management portal and offers two intuitive methods:
• Single-device search: Users can click a globe icon next to any active IoT SIM card to view its location directly on a map.
• Bulk geolocation: Multiple SIMs can be selected and mapped simultaneously via the bulk operations menu, enabling efficient fleet-level visibility.

Powering the next wave of IoT intelligence
With this launch, OneSimCard IoT continues to enhance its OSCAR platform as a centralized hub for IoT SIM card connectivity management, bridging the gap between connectivity and actionable intelligence.
As IoT ecosystems expand, the ability to know where your devices are – without relying on GPS – becomes a competitive advantage, enabling smarter operations, lower costs and improved decision making.
