Device policies
You can use Device Policies to create unique coverage and network configurations that can be assigned to devices. There are two types of policies: Service Policies and Coverage Policies.
Service policies
Service policies allow you to set usage limits on data or SMS and can also be used to restrict types of networks or services. By default, a new policy has no restrictions. However, by creating a service policy, you can control the following attributes:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Internet breakout region | Automatic or manual selection |
| Data |
|
| SMS |
|
| SMS Interface |
|
Coverage policies
A coverage policy lets you choose which data plan and regions to operate in. Policies include the Data Plan and one or more Coverage areas. The default coverage policy depends on your current subscription package.
Data plan
The Data Plan dropdown shows a list of data plan names with Regional Pro selected by default.
When a data plan includes active SIMs, it's added to your bill at the end of the month.
Coverage areas
The list of Coverage areas varies depending on which Data Plan you selected.
The Coverage map is a global map that shows your coverage based on your selections. You can browse the entire list of countries in the Coverage list or search for a specific country where you plan to deploy your devices. The countries are sorted by name in ascending order by default, but you can also sort them by coverage area. This list provides the names and number of available networks per country.
Each country's listing can be expanded to reveal the network, coverage area, data rates, and SMS sending and receiving rates. You can also block networks for specific countries or block radio access technologies (RATs) for specific networks.
