Simply put, the Internet of Things card is a flow card based on the Internet of Things private network provided by three major operators (China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom), which is used to meet the networking and management of intelligent hardware and the mobile information application requirements of group companies. Simply put, it is a card that is connected to electronic hardware, and can't make calls, which is equivalent to a flow card. It should be noted that the IOT card is aimed at IOT enterprises, not individuals, and the main body of the real-name card needs to be the legal person of the operating company. IoT cards are used in group enterprises and related professional fields, and belong to the category of "group customers". Individual users cannot handle group customer packages in the business hall. In addition, operators also sell IOT cards through various channels. Operators' fees for IOT cards can be divided into three standards: national unified fees, local fees and group customer fees. Among these three standards, group customer packages are often the most cost-effective.
