Keep terminals online and payments clearing, even when a carrier drops. NuvoLinQ fails over to another network and migrates your existing terminals to eSIM over the air, no declined payments, no truck rolls.
01 WHERE GENERIC eSIM BREAKS DOWN
Payment terminals operate inside constraints generic IoT SIMs weren't designed for. Three of them break fleets every day.
A carrier reconnect that takes 800ms in a general-purpose IoT context is a declined transaction or a fraud flag in a payment context. Terminals need transaction-safe hand-off: carrier switching that completes inside the authorization window, not after it. Generic SIMs reconnect when they reconnect. That's not good enough.
Your SIM is inside your PCI scope, whether your assessor knows it yet or not. That makes connectivity an architectural requirement, not an optional add-on. NuvoLinQ maintains PCI validation for its in-scope private data network.
Ripping out a deployed fleet to introduce eSIM capability is the wrong answer to a solved problem. For eligible devices, SGP.32-compatible eUICC profiles can be provisioned over the air, without a truck roll, a hardware swap, or a scheduled maintenance window. Eligible infrastructure becomes eSIM-ready.
02 POS-native SIM behavior
Every technical decision in the SIM is traceable to a payment operations outcome. Here's what that means in the field.
If the primary carrier drops during authorization, the terminal can fail over quickly to reduce transaction interruption risk.
SIM reconnect behavior is tuned to avoid mid-auth drops that get flagged as fraud or declined by your processor.
Each terminal connects to the best available supported carrier based on policy and signal conditions, instead of being locked to a single network.
Payment authorization windows are tight. Our reconnect times are tuned to stay inside them.
Countertop, mobile, unattended, integrated, one SIM, one management plane, same behavior across the fleet.
03 Security & compliance
Specific, verifiable claims. No vague 'enterprise-grade security' language. NuvoLinQ's in-scope private data network is PCI compliant. Data sovereignty is contractually available. Every claim below has a one-line answer for your assessor.
Your payment data never crosses the public internet, every connection runs through a dedicated APN with static routing.
Enables IP whitelisting, processor-side firewall rules, and meaningful PCI scope reduction.
Traffic can be configured around defined geographic routing and sovereignty requirements.
Restrict which destinations your terminals can communicate with at the network level, enforced by us, not configured by you.
Our architecture is designed to support your PCI scope, not expand it. ROC-ready connection logs included.
Audited, verified, and standards-aligned across the stack, so your assessor's questions have one-line answers.
04 Legacy migration
Ripping out a deployed fleet to introduce eSIM is the wrong answer to a solved problem. A LinQ1Zero eUICC SIM brings your existing terminals onto the SGP.32 platform, and from there, carrier profiles and network switching are provisioned over the air, without truck rolls or a scheduled maintenance window for every change. Your current hardware keeps running.
We scan your existing terminal inventory and confirm SGP.32 eligibility per manufacturer and firmware version.
Carrier profiles and network policies are staged in LinQView for your fleet before any device is touched.
eUICC capability and the new carrier profile are pushed over the air. No truck roll, and no downtime for the terminal during the push.
Field tech scans the terminal QR with ScanLinQ; the device context auto-populates and confirms migration end-to-end.
05 LinQView
A focused version of LinQView built for POS fleet managers. Real-time terminal status, instant alerts, remote OTA, and audit logs you can export to your assessor in two clicks.
Every device, online, offline, failover active, on one map. Near real-time update visibility.
You're notified the moment a terminal loses connectivity, before your customer calls support.
Push carrier profile changes, firmware updates, and config changes without sending a technician.
Every connection event logged and exportable for compliance review. ROC-ready by default.
Field tech scans a terminal QR; full device context auto-populates a support ticket with the last 24h of events.
06 direct vs. roaming
A roaming SIM is fine for fleet telematics. It's not fine when a $48 authorization has a 30-second window and you're three hops from your processor.
