The NExT ™ connection solution provided by Telit Cinterion can offer reliable coverage and secure communication for Commstar Radio customers in urban, rural areas, as well as in environments that are difficult to reach.
- Commstar Radio selects Telit Cinterion to provide secure, resilient, and scalable connectivity for critical communication environments, covering one-click communication, public utility staff communication, fleet coordination, dispatch operations, and remote infrastructure connections.
- Built-in network redundancy can help customers maintain connectivity when a single operator's coverage is insufficient.
Boca Raton, Florida, September 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global Internet of Things (IoT) company IoT today announced a partnership with Commstar Radio, a technology and communications company based in Wisconsin. Under this partnership, Commstar Radio will provide Telit Cinterion with its NExT ™ SIM connectivity solutions, enabling customers to access multiple operator networks through a single SIM card, facilitating secure communication in urban, rural, and hard-to-reach areas.
Telit Cinterion indicates that the NExT SIM connection solution can securely access the networks of over 600 mobile operators worldwide through a single SIM. This includes the three major networks in the United States. Based on the Telit Cinterion global network of NExT which has geographical redundancy capabilities, this solution supports cellular technologies from 2G to 5G, and is suitable for both low-power wide-area network (LPWA) devices and high-bandwidth applications.
Leveraging NExT SIM, Commstar Radio is now able to provide customers with resilient multi-network connections, broader Cat M coverage, as well as narrower-band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) coverage, in addition to higher operational reliability in urban, rural, and remote environments.
