What our customers say
Saicom’s APN solution provides a seamless connection to our network, allows us to control the data we use, and very importantly, has saved us a considerable amount of money.
Tashwill Carelse
IT Director, Rentokil
We have been through various service providers and managing the hundreds of SIMs in our business was always a pain. Once we found Saicom's APN management platform managing our mobile data has been hassle-free ever since. Saicom's platform is brilliant. I don't know if there is anything else in the market that comes close.

Saicom was willing to do whatever was necessary to ensure our systems were working optimally. The company adapts to our needs and manages our network and telephony outcomes on our behalf.

Reseller Whitelabeling
Saicom offers resellers the opportunity to entirely customise the mobility portal with their own branding.
Public APN and Private APN
Saicom’s Public APN provides mobile Internet access, allowing your mobile workforce to connect to the Internet, on common ports and protocols. Saicom can supply you with “data only” SIM cards or we can migrate your existing postpaid / contract SIM cards to any of our APNs.
Public APN
Each SIM would be reflected on the Saicom Mobility Portal, such that accounting of data usage can be recorded. IP addresses are allocated dynamically, traffic is routed out to the Internet via a centralised Fortigate Firewall. With the “Firewall Lite” bolt-on solution, static IP addresses are assigned in order to facilitate source-based category and application blocking. Monitoring, thresholds, and data caps are configured on an individual level using the Saicom Mobility Portal – our mobility management platform.
Private APN
Private APN’s can be likened to a VPN on a GSM network. They provide a customised routing configuration, allowing mobile users to connect into your headquarters, usually via MPLS or an SD-WAN network. Traffic may also be routed through a dedicated or shared firewall, or into a Data Centre or Hosting environment.
A Private APN provides clients with a higher level of control and customisation than a Public APN and allows for application-level control as well as blocking and shaping when paired with Saicom’s Cloud Firewall.
