Service Process
Global SIM Link (GSL) provides cellular IoT data bound to IoT devices and a data management platform that allows users to query data and manage SIM cards, enabling one-click access and global reachability.
- Confirm solution
Before using GSL, ensure that the modules and network standard used by your devices support GSL.
- Register Huawei Cloud account
Register a Huawei Cloud account and complete enterprise real-name authentication.
- Subscribe to SIM card plans
Purchase data plans for SIM cards. Select SIM card plans that match your modules, network standard and SIM card type, and confirm the order amount.
- Power on devices in specified areas
After the SIM cards are inserted into devices and powered on, they automatically attach to the carrier's network. Devices authenticated by the carrier can then use data.
