Connectivity medical devices can rely on
Secure, multi-network cellular for connected health.
In healthcare, connectivity is part of the care
A smart thermostat that drops offline for an hour is an inconvenience. A remote monitoring device that misses a transmission is a clinical risk. If you build connected health products, the connectivity inside them is not a commodity line item.
Com4 connects medical devices over secure, multi-network cellular, with private networking, remote provisioning and fleet monitoring built in. We already do this for Norwegian MedTech companies such as Dignio and MedThings.
What MedTech teams get from Com4
Devices that stay online
Non-steered SIMs attach to the strongest network, with multiple operators per country and 750+ networks worldwide.
Patient data off the public internet
Private APN and VPN keep device traffic on an isolated network to your platform.
Activation without IT help
eSIM profiles loaded before shipping, so devices connect the first time a patient switches them on.
One product for every market
A single SKU that works across countries, managed in one platform.
Early warning
Real-time fleet monitoring and alerts in Polaris CMP, before a gap affects care.
Long device lifetimes
LTE-M and NB-IoT, plus eUICC and SGP.32 to change operator over the air instead of recalling devices.
Match the network to the device
Different medical devices need different connectivity. Com4 supports them all on one SIM, managed in one platform.
LTE-M
For wearables and devices that move with the patient. Low power, with handover between cells.
NB-IoT
For fixed devices indoors, such as a medication dispenser at home. Strong building penetration and long battery life.
4G and 5G
For higher bandwidth, such as remote diagnostics or video consultations.
“The technology has been reliable and critical to our success, which is essential in the healthcare sector.”
“It’s critical that the IoT connectivity just works. With Com4, it does – and that’s why we chose them.”
Customer Cases
MedTech companies such as Dignio and MedThings rely on Com4 to keep connected health devices online, secure and easy to manage, from the first patient to full scale.
Supporting Dignio in delivering better patient care
Dignio and Com4 work together to keep remote patient monitoring reliable, so care teams can follow patients safely at home.
MedThings empowers healthcare with eSIM from Com4
Smart medication dispensers that connect on arrival, update over the air and report to hospital systems in real time.
Questions about medical device connectivity
What is the best cellular connectivity for medical devices?
Multi-network cellular, ideally on a non-steered SIM that can use several operators per country. Pair it with a private APN for data protection and LTE-M or NB-IoT for battery-powered devices.
Why use a private APN for medical IoT?
A private APN keeps device traffic on an isolated network instead of the public internet. That reduces exposure for sensitive health data.
Can one SIM work for medical devices sold in several countries?
Yes. Com4 supports single-SKU deployment, so the same SIM or eSIM works across markets and is managed from one platform.
What happens if a network goes down?
A non-steered multi-network SIM can attach to another available operator, and Polaris CMP flags devices that drop offline so your team can act early.
