Overview
Not every device that needs an internet connection has a fixed line plugged into it. Field workers carry tablets. Delivery drivers use data terminals. Vending machines process cashless payments. Pop-up sites need temporary connectivity. Laptops need internet on the train. All of these devices need data, and Summit's mobile broadband plans deliver it on Australia's biggest mobile network without a voice plan attached.
Summit's mobile broadband is a data-only SIM service designed for business devices that need internet connectivity but do not make phone calls. Choose from standard, banked or pooled data plans depending on how your devices consume data, and manage every SIM alongside your office internet, phone system and mobile phones on a single Summit account.
For businesses that already rely on Summit for fixed-line internet and voice, mobile broadband closes the last gap in your connectivity picture. Every device, every location, one provider.
Key Benefits
-
Data-Only Plans for Any Device
Mobile broadband SIMs work in any device with a SIM slot or eSIM capability: tablets, laptops, mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, data terminals, EFTPOS machines, vending machines, sensors and more. If it needs data and does not need a phone number, mobile broadband is the right plan.
-
Australia's Biggest Mobile Network
Your data SIMs operate on Australia's biggest mobile network with 98.8% population coverage across Australia. Whether your devices are in the Melbourne CBD, a regional warehouse, or a remote site, they connect on the network that reaches further than any other.
-
Flexible Data Plan Structures
Match your data plan to the way your devices actually use data:
- Banked Plans: Unused data rolls forward so nothing is wasted during quieter periods
- Pooled Plans: Share a data pool across all your data SIMs for maximum cost efficiency when usage varies between devices
-
Manage All Your Connectivity in One Place
Your mobile broadband SIMs sit on the same Summit account as your office internet, voice services and mobile phone plans. One bill. One login. One support team. No separate accounts, separate logins, or separate providers to juggle.
-
Quick Deployment with SIM and eSIM
Physical SIMs are shipped promptly, and eSIMs can be activated remotely for supported devices. When you need a new device online quickly, whether a tablet for a new starter or a terminal for a pop-up site, there is no waiting for a technician or a fixed-line installation.
-
Temporary and Permanent Use
Mobile broadband is ideal for both permanent installations (EFTPOS terminals, vending machines, remote sensors) and temporary needs (pop-up shops, events, construction sites, short-term projects). Activate when you need it, deactivate when you do not.

Use Cases
-
Field Staff with Tablets
Real Estate & FinanceA building inspection company equips each inspector with a tablet running cloud-based reporting software. Each tablet has a Summit mobile broadband SIM, ensuring inspectors can upload reports, access property records and communicate with the office from any inspection site. Pooled data across 15 tablets means the company pays for the data the team uses collectively rather than overprovisioning each individual SIM.
-
EFTPOS and Payment Terminals
RetailA mobile coffee cart and a pop-up retail store both need EFTPOS connectivity without a fixed internet line. A mobile broadband SIM in each payment terminal provides reliable transaction processing wherever the device goes. The data usage per terminal is low, so pooling data across the terminals keeps costs minimal.
-
Vending Machines and IoT Devices
RetailA vending machine operator manages 40 machines across Melbourne offices and shopping centres. Each machine uses a mobile broadband SIM to process cashless payments and report stock levels to a central management system. Pooled data across 40 SIMs ensures cost-efficient connectivity for devices that individually use very little data but collectively need reliable, always-on coverage.
-
Temporary Sites and Events
TradiesA construction company needs internet at a new building site for six months while the permanent connection is being installed. A mobile broadband SIM in a portable Wi-Fi router provides immediate connectivity for site management, security cameras and worker communication. When the fixed connection is ready, the SIM is deactivated or redeployed to the next site.
-
Laptops for Remote Workers
Lawyers & AccountantsA consulting firm provides mobile broadband SIMs for partner laptops, ensuring they have internet access when working from client sites, travelling between meetings, or in locations without reliable Wi-Fi. Banked data plans ensure that unused data from a quiet travel week is not wasted.

Why Choose Summit for Mobile Broadband
- 01
One Provider for All Your Connectivity
Summit is likely already providing your office internet and phone system. Adding mobile broadband means every connected device in your business, from the office router to the tablet in the field to the EFTPOS terminal at the market, is managed by one provider. That simplicity matters when something needs attention.
- 02
National Coverage, Summit Service
Your data SIMs get the coverage of Australia's largest mobile network, backed by Summit's own support team. When you need help with a data SIM, you call the same people who manage your internet and phones, not a separate company with a separate queue.
- 03
Right-Sized Plans for Business Devices
Summit's data plans are structured for business use, not consumer use. Banked and pooled options ensure you are not paying for wasted data across a fleet of devices with variable usage. We help you right-size your plan so you pay for what you use.
- 04
Fast Deployment, No Infrastructure
A mobile broadband SIM does not need a technician visit, a cable run, or a fixed-line installation. Order, insert, connect. For temporary sites, seasonal operations, and rapid deployments, there is no faster way to get a device online.
