Soracom LPWAN Coverage

Soracom maintains an official list of Supported Carriers that provides up-to-date details of its global cellular coverage. While this list represents cellular network coverage that is guaranteed through Soracom's roaming contracts and partnerships, there are many additional cellular networks where network access is available to devices using Soracom IoT SIMs but which are not yet officially guaranteed.

This repository provides supplemental information regarding testing that Soracom has performed for these additional cellular networks. Where testing is possible, each of the cellular networks listed in this repository is tested several times to confirm that data transfer is possible.

Test information

  • Guaranteed indicates a network where coverage is guaranteed through a roaming agreement.
  • Validated indicates a network that has been independently tested and proven to function at the time of the test. These networks are not covered by a contract, and no SLA is provided.
  • Observed indicates a network where traffic and other related activity has been identified but currently cannot be independently tested and verified. Similarly, these networks are not covered by a contract, and no SLA is provided.

Please note that these test results are subject to inaccuracies as a result of changes to roaming agreements or technical modifications by the network operator to the network itself.

Legend

The list of networks and their corresponding coverage test is provided as a CSV file with the following fields:

Country, ISO3166    Tested country and ISO-3166 3-letter country code
MCC MNC             Mobile Country Code (3 digits) & Mobile Network Code (2-3 digits)
MNO                 Mobile Network Operator name (corresponding to the name listed on the Supported Carriers page)
RAT                 Radio Access Technology (LTE-M or NB-IoT)
Bands (Main)        LTE bands used for the test (additional bands may not be listed even if available)
Plan                The Soracom IoT SIM subscription plan used for the test
Support             Result of the test:
                      - Guaranteed: Coverage is provided with a roaming agreement (also shown on the Supported Carriers page)
                      - Validated: Coverage is still under testing and deployment; Coverage and compatibility is subject to change
                      - Observed: Related traffic was identified but coverage has not yet been independently tested and verified
Supported Features  Network features tested:
                      - All networks are tested for data transfer
                      - Where applicable, Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) features such as eDRX, PSM and SMS are also tested
                        - eDRX* and PSM* (with an asterisk) indicate that a requested eDRX or PSM value will be modified by the local MNO
Date                The most recent date that the test was performed

Related subscription plans

The test results for these subscription plans also apply to the following subscription plans:

  • Test results for plan01s also apply to plan01s - LDV and plan-NA1
  • Test results for planX3 also apply to planX3-EU
  • Test results for planP1 also apply to plan-US-NA

However, please note that coverage for each of these related subscription plans may differ. Refer to the Supported Carriers page.
