Mobile networks are switching off all 3G services across the world. This sunsetting process means that customers might have a large number of machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications which will not work once the 3G service is turned off.
Will I be affected?
GeoMax customers don't have to be concerned. All GeoMax antennas ever sold can be used with the SIM in a 4G/5G Android controller.
When will this happen?
The mobile networks are switching off in a gradual, phased approach across the UK.
