The Roaming Selection Tool (RST) is part of Telenor IoT’s Managed Connectivity Services, a flexible, scalable solution for enterprises with connected products around the world. Whether you’re deploying thousands or millions of devices, our services provide access to more than 500 networks in some 200 countries and regions, all through one contract, one SIM, and one interface.
RST builds on this foundation by giving you even greater control: decide exactly where and how your devices connect, without changing your contract or roaming profile.
Most IoT connectivity providers manage roaming configurations on behalf of the customer—which often means limited flexibility and delayed changes.
With RST, you stay in control. You decide which countries and networks your devices connect to, without changing your coverage profile or renegotiating contracts.
This means you can avoid unexpected roaming charges, adapt your connectivity footprint in real time, and manage everything through one intuitive self-service interface.
As far as we know, none of our competitors offer this level of control and flexibility to customers.” Martin WhitlockCTO at Telenor IoT
IoT deployments vary, and so do the challenges companies face with connectivity. RST was built with flexibility in mind, offering real solutions to real-world problems our customers experience every day.
Avoid expensive or fee-based networks by blocking them.
Block networks that might experience coverage issues or network disturbances. Choose networks with stronger coverage, or higher cost, if they offer better connectivity. Especially important for stationary devices struggling with low-cost network quality.
Instead of committing to predefined coverage profiles and pricing plans, access the full list of networks and select what your devices actually need—when they need it.
Block non-LTE-M networks to validate real-world behavior and fallback scenarios.
Dynamically open and close access for specific countries or regions during temporary events — like a race, expo, or seasonal operation.
RST doesn’t just solve technical issues. It delivers measurable benefits across your business. From faster rollouts to lower operational effort, here’s why customers trust our tool for long-term success.
Make instant changes without waiting for support teams.
See exactly which operators and networks are being used and the associated costs. No more “black box.”
Adjust access dynamically as your technical or business needs evolve.
Fewer support tickets, fewer errors, less back-and-forth.
Use a single coverage profile while tailoring network access per device or product line.
Proactively block expensive or unnecessary networks before they cause surprises.
RST provides powerful ways to manage your connectivity footprint, all through a single, user-friendly interface.
