// SURESIM PROTECT FOR AVIATION
Aviation builds redundancy into everything...
Except mobile connectivity
Your pilots, cabin crew and ground operations all rely on one corporate SIM. When it fails, the Electronic Tech Log (ETL) stops syncing, gates go manual and On-Time Performance (OTP) slips. SureSIM Protect adds a resilient back-up network on every iPad and iPhone, invoked with one tap.

// THE PROBLEM
One carrier. No fallback.
The operational risks add up quickly.
Your iPad estate runs on a reliable corporate SIM. But it’s still one network. An outage, a provisioning issue or unexpected coverage gaps abroad can take individual devices, or the whole fleet, offline.
RISK_001
HIGH
Single-carrier dependency
All operational teams – pilots, cabin crew and ground operations – share one corporate SIM. A network outage, provisioning issue, roaming bar or coverage gap can take individual devices or the entire fleet offline.
RISK_002
HIGH
ETL and EFB sync delays
The Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and Electronic Tech Log (ETL) need reliable connectivity to sync on stand. Patchy mobile coverage and unreliable airport Wi-Fi delay data updates, which impacts on-time performance, turnaround economics and dispatch readiness.
RISK_003
HIGH
Duty of care and crew welfare
If a crew member has a welfare or safety issue overseas, connectivity is the first step to making contact and coordinating a response. A single home-carrier SIM doesn’t provide that fallback.
RISK_004
MEDIUM
Limited roaming visibility
Without real-time visibility of roaming spend or granular controls, the choice is either unexpected month-end bills or crew left stranded when the cap kicks in.
// THE SECOND ENGINE
Add a fallback layer to your
Global iPad & iPhone estate.
Dual engines. Dual hydraulics. Dual flight crew. Dispatch reliability targets in the high 99s. Every operationally-critical system on a modern aircraft has a documented fallback.
Except the iPad fleet. Pilot EFBs, crew rosters, gate dispatch, ETL sync on stand – your most operationally-coupled fleet of devices runs on a single corporate SIM with no defined back-up. When the carrier fails, the iPad fleet fails with it.
SureSIM Protect is the second engine for your iPad estate. A resilient back-up data network on every device, permanently registered, sat behind your primary carrier, invoked with one tap. A protective layer of redundancy, not a replacement.

SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE
// USE CASE - ELECTRONIC TECH LOG
The ETL won't sync. The aircraft can't fly.
Reliable connectivity keeps your fleet moving
01 / without back-up
Aircraft lands. Tech log complete.
Pilot signs off journey log, defects, fuel uplifts. The ETL platform needs to sync to engineering, dispatch and CAMO.
02
Corporate SIM, no signal on stand.
Hangar. Satellite stand. Remote terminal. The ETL app sits in offline mode. All data locally stored. Waiting.
03
SD card workflow kicks in.
SD card removed. Handed to ground crew. Custody chain. Retained airside until upload confirmed. Pilots grounded between flights. Turnaround impacted.
One tap. ETL sync resumes.
Pilot taps the SureSIM Protect shortcut on the iPad. Data switches to the resilient back-up layer – all four UK networks plus 450+ globally. Engineering, dispatch and CAMO get the data they need. Aircraft released for the next flight.
Fewer SD card events. Less custody chain. Less grounding.
Designed for quick-turnaround economics – Low Cost Carriers, regionals, any operator where every on-stand minute costs money
Pilot welfare protected – between-sector minutes back where they belong.
SureSIM Protect is a resilience layer, not a guarantee. If no SureSIM network is available either, your existing SD card SOP still applies.
// USE CASE - ELECTRONIC TECH LOG
One platform.
Two Apple deployment modes.
Invoked with one tap. Permanently registered behind your primary carrier. Provisioned over the air.
iphone mode
Always-on dual-active
iPhone supports two active cellular plans simultaneously. SureSIM Protect lives permanently alongside the corporate SIM. Instant invocation. Zero behavioural change. Optional continuous cell-tower telemetry.
ipad mode
One-tap shortcut switch
iPad supports one active plan at a time. iOS Shortcut on the Home Screen switches between corporate SIM and SureSIM in 20-40 seconds. Configurable as primary or back-up. Provisioned OTA.
Managed Centrally
Visibility + control
Live View dashboard with real-time cost and usage. Dynamic alerts and caps. Optional cell-tower Location Awareness for duty of care. Microsoft Intune integration. eSIM and physical SIM supported.
Deployed across every iPad & iPhone estate – Pilots (EFB/ETL), Cabin Crew (rosters & welfare), Ground Ops (gate & turnaround), Engineering & MRO.
Industry benchmark: nearly all top-50 global airlines now use iPad as their EFB platform. Connectivity is the critical point of failure for risk management.
