It provides 4G LTE data connectivity for remote monitoring through the Victron VRM Portal. It uses the Telstra and Optus 4G networks, is data-only (no voice or SMS), and does not support LTE-M or NB-IoT devices such as the GlobalLink 520\/530. You pay once for 1–8 years, with no monthly fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a multi-year SIM matters for Victron remote monitoring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemote Victron systems typically transmit only small amounts of data. Because of this low usage, standard Telstra, Optus and Vodafone prepaid SIMs — which expire after 28 to 180 days of inactivity — can lapse long before the monitoring system itself stops working. The result is a GX system that quietly goes offline while the hardware is still running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA purpose-built multi-year data SIM removes the recharge cycle entirely, keeping the GX LTE modem connected for up to 8 years on a single upfront payment — the connection model that suits long-term, low-data remote monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Victron devices does this SIM work with?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis SIM connects your Victron GX system to the internet through the official GX LTE 4G modem.
