Private PGW now supports static IP address allocation

What's new: We’ve enhanced the Private PGW (PvT PGW) feature to support static IP address allocation. Now, every time a device connects to the wireless network, it will be assigned the same private IP address rather than a new one for each session.

How it works:

• The static IP is automatically assigned to a SIM when it’s added to a SIM group linked to a PvT PGW.
• If the SIM is moved to a different SIM group, the IP address is removed from the SIM.
• This ensures each device in a given group always receives the same IP address for every connection.

Benefits:

• Consistency: Devices are always reachable at the same IP, ideal for remote access, running servers, or firewall/port forwarding configurations.
• Simplified network management: Track and manage devices by their fixed IP addresses.
• Improved policy enforcement: Reserved services, permissions, and restrictions are easier to manage for individual devices.

Availability:

• All new PvT PGWs will include static IP allocation by default.
• To use this feature, customers with legacy PvT PGWs must create a new PvT PGW and move their SIM groups. Existing PvT PGWs will not be upgraded automatically, to avoid disrupting live services.
