Static IP Addresses
for GPRS Devices
Industry Solutions
 Static IP Addresses for Arctic
Devices

• Static IP addresses are needed for two-way

communication
• There are two possibilities to provide static IP
addresses to GPRS devices (to SIM cards)
– Viola M2M Gateway
• Global and mobile operator independent system
– Private APN service from mobile operator
• Might be geographical restrictions
• Always provided as a service
