Device export checklist

Check eSIM, bands, type approval, SMS needs, dwell time and cloud region for a device you ship, and turn the answers into one quote summary.

Radio technologies the module supports

Paste the list from the module datasheet, for example B2, B4, B28, n78. If you do not have it, check the bands in the band finder.

Open the band finder

Does the device have an eUICC (eSIM chip)?
Type approval for the target countries
Does the device rely on SMS (commands, alerts, wake-up)?
How long do devices stay in one country?
Where does the device platform or cloud run?
Does a feature depend on the device maker’s own cloud or relay service?

Hold Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) to choose several.

Planning help, not approval: confirm type approval with the regulator or an accredited body before you ship.

What to settle before shipping

    Copy it into the details of your quote request; the quote button already carries the product and countries.

    Planning help only, not legal advice; confirm type approval with the regulator or an accredited body.

    How this works and its limits

    Runs in your browser: what you enter stays on your device and is never uploaded.

    The checklist asks the questions that decide whether a connected device can be sold and stay connected in a market: eUICC and remote provisioning, radio bands, type approval, SMS dependency, network switch-offs, how long devices stay in one country and where their cloud runs.

    Use the band finder to see the module’s band list, then paste it here. The country note gives the certification body and its link. Country requirements are summaries for planning, not an approval and not legal advice; confirm type approval with the regulator or an accredited body.

    What to check before shipping a connected device

    A device that works at home can fail abroad for reasons unrelated to its software: missing radio bands, no local type approval, a network technology being switched off, or rules that limit how long a foreign SIM may stay on a network.

    Checking these points before the first shipment avoids returns and field failures. The answers also shape the connectivity design: a single roaming profile, multi-IMSI, or an eSIM that can switch to a local profile.

    Write the answers down once and share them with your connectivity provider, which needs them to quote and plan a pilot.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does the checklist replace type approval?

    No. It helps you plan. Type approval is granted by each country’s regulator or an accredited body.

    Why does dwell time matter?

    Some countries restrict foreign SIMs that stay on a local network for a long time. Devices that live in one country long-term may need a local profile.

    Can I send the result as a quote request?

    Yes. The summary goes with your request, so our team sees your device requirements up front.
