Are Olivia Wireless and iot.cards part of the same group?

No, they're independent Spanish IoT MVNOs. Olivia Wireless is a more recent company focused on technical content for industrial routers. iot.cards operates under Kore Logic SL (Spanish CIF B90463662) since 2013, formerly as EasyM2M and Lantia IoT. They're direct competitors in the Spanish market.

Do both offer routed public IP with port forwarding?

Yes. The technical model is the same: a monitored gateway port-forwards from a dedicated public IP to the device, with per-source allowlist. The operational difference is in how it's contracted (in iot.cards from the first SIM as an add-on, no enterprise gate), in the audit log scope (iot.cards: 30 days online + exportable to S3 or webhook), and in the REST API to automate rules dynamically. See /products/static-ip-sim for the iot.cards technical detail.

Which has better coverage?

Both are multi-network in Spain with access to national carriers. The most relevant operational difference is international reach: iot.cards combines Kite (Telefónica) + Conexa (Vodafone) + melita.io for international, giving 750+ networks in 190+ documented countries with permanent roaming with no restrictions. Olivia Wireless offers international roaming but doesn't publish underlying-stack detail.

What about Teltonika specifically?

Olivia Wireless has strong Teltonika-specific technical content (step-by-step setup in their knowledge base for RUTX/RUT). iot.cards is compatible with Teltonika RUTX/RUT and most industrial routers (Robustel R1511/R3000, MikroTik LtAP/Chateau, Cradlepoint IBR/E300, Peplink Balance/MAX). The SIM needs no special configuration on the device beyond the static-IP APN we provide. If your only case is Teltonika and you need nothing else, both cover it; if your fleet includes several router brands, iot.cards documents more cases.

Do both offer Spanish-language support?

Yes, both. The difference is in channel and response time. iot.cards answers by phone and email in Spanish (also English and Portuguese) from the first SIM, with human technical onboarding from day one. Phone accessibility matters especially for integrators and installers with field incidents where email is too slow.

What about regulated verticals like smart metering?

iot.cards has documented operational experience in metering (PRIME, G3-PLC, Meters & More), named Iberdrola/Telefónica partnership, and ICCID-keyed traceability for regulatory audit. For a Spanish electricity distributor under regulator scrutiny, having a vendor with published operational experience in the sector reduces adoption risk. Olivia Wireless doesn't publish that specific operational experience.

When should I NOT pick iot.cards?

If your only case is a Teltonika RUTX with routed public IP, your volume is very small (1-5 SIMs), you don't need phone support or human onboarding, and Olivia's step-by-step technical documentation resolves the implementation for you, both cover it — the decision goes on DX and price for your specific case. If you especially value Olivia's written technical material and don't need operational backing from a vendor with history, there's no reason to switch.

Quick summary

Olivia Wireless fits if your case is very specific to "Teltonika router with routed public IP for remote access" and you specifically value their step-by-step technical knowledge base. iot.cards fits if you need the same technical capability (routed public IP with allowlist, dedicated private APN, multi-network) plus 13 years of operational tenure, Spanish-speaking engineering support by phone from the first SIM, broader documented sectorial coverage (16 verticals: smart metering, solar, alarms, fleets, EV chargers, vending, POS, etc.), wider underlying stack (Telefónica Kite + Conexa Vodafone + melita.io), and operational experience with named customers (Iberdrola/Telefónica) and regulated verticals.

Side-by-side feature comparison

Same country, same multi-network + static IP + private APN proposition; different underlying-stack model, operational tenure, sectorial reach, and support depth.

	Olivia Wireless	iot.cards
Origin and tenure	More recent Spanish IoT MVNO. Strong technical positioning, especially in routed public IP content and Teltonika setup tutorials.	Spanish IoT MVNO operating since 2013 (Kore Logic SL, formerly EasyM2M / Lantia IoT). 13 years of documented operation in the Spanish market.
Spain coverage	Multi-network in Spain. Access to Spanish national carriers through their stack.	Multi-IMSI with documented access to all four Spanish networks: Telefónica, Vodafone, Orange and MásMóvil. Per-SIM preference and exclusion policy.
International coverage	International roaming available. Underlying stack and specific reach not published in detail.	750+ networks in 190+ countries through the combined stack (Kite + Conexa + melita.io). Permanent roaming with no restrictions for M2M SIMs, no BEREC 90-day cut-off.
Routed static public IP	"Public IP Route" available — port forwarding from a monitored gateway with allowlist, accessible from platform. Step-by-step tutorials for Teltonika RUTX/RUT in their knowledge base.	Routed public IP with per-source allowlist as a standard per-SIM layer. Same technical model (gateway + port forwarding + allowlist + audit log). Documented compatibility with Teltonika, Robustel, MikroTik, Cradlepoint, Hikvision, Siemens S7, Raspberry Pi and others.
Private APN	Available under plan. Operational details to be confirmed with their team.	Dedicated APN with your CIDR range + IPSec/WireGuard tunnel into your VPC, contractable from the first SIM. Combinable with private static IP per SIM.

When to choose which

Choose Olivia Wireless if…

Your use case is very specific to a Teltonika router with routed public IP for remote access.
You especially value their step-by-step technical knowledge base as an implementation resource.
Your volume is small-to-mid and dashboard self-service is more useful than human phone-based onboarding.
You don't need operational backing from a vendor with 13 years of documented Spanish-market history.
Your vertical isn't regulated (no metering compliance, no critical infrastructure with audit requirements).
Specific sectorial reach (which verticals the vendor has documented experience in) isn't a relevant criterion for your purchase.

Choose iot.cards if…

You need the same technical capability (routed public static IP, private APN, multi-network) plus 13 years of documented operational tenure in Spain.
You want Spanish-speaking engineering support by phone accessible from the first SIM, not just by email or dashboard.
Your vertical is regulated metering, solar, alarms, fleets, EV chargers, vending, POS, or any sector where the vendor's documented experience matters.
You need ICCID-keyed traceability for regulatory audit or to report to an end client that requires it.
Your end client wants a vendor with named operational ties to Telefónica or Iberdrola (see /soluciones/iberdrola).
You want a single aggregated invoice from one vendor covering Telefónica + Vodafone + Orange + MásMóvil + 750 international networks under one contract.
You're choosing a vendor for a fleet that scales from pilot to production and care that the vendor has documented scaling capacity.
