3G IoT connectivity is known as a bridge technology between the mobile radio standards 2G and 4G/LTE. Compared to 2G, 3G offers greater bandwidth and thus faster data transmission. 3G plays a minor role when it comes to the connection of devices on the Internet of Things. Meanwhile, new IoT radio tehcnologies like LTE-M and NB-IoT have become established that are specifically tailored to the needs of IoT use cases. No matter whether you are planning with 3G, LTE-M, or NB-IoT, the 1NCE IoT SIM card supports all cellular mobile radio standards.

3G-Supported Use Cases
A mobile device can connect to a third-generation cellular network by using a 3G IoT SIM card as an authentication key. With the help of these networks, which were based on protocols like UMTS and CDMA2000, data transfer significantly improved over previous 2G systems, enabling multimedia streaming and simple web browsing.
A 3G IoT SIM card will limit the device's connectivity to 3G or lower network standards, even though it is physically compatible with the slot design of the majority of 5G phones. The user will continue to experience the slower speeds and restrictions of 3G technology, while the phone's sophisticated 5G capabilities will remain dormant.
In comparison to 3G, 4G IoT SIM cards are designed to function with LTE IoT networks, which offer significantly higher data throughput, lower latency, and more efficient networks. This development results from the use of specific frequency bands and radio access technologies.
3G IoT SIM cards are fast losing their operating lives. In order to free up spectrum for 4G and 5G services, telecom companies are actively decommissioning their 3G infrastructure. As a result, 3G access is becoming less dependable, and these IoT SIM cards will eventually become outdated when network support is removed.
