Current AnyNet APN list

The AnyNet APNs offer different functionality. Eseye will work with you to select the most appropriate APN with the feature set required for your application.

Ensure you use the correct APN for your deployment.

All devices in a deployment should use the same APN. Not all APN options are available for every network and region.

If devices open data sessions with an APN and don't close them, the sessions automatically close after 28 days. The devices will need to re-authenticate with the APN in order to open new data sessions. With the increasing complexity of global networks and new localization options, it's best practice for devices to reconnect regularly to ensure that all intermediate network components are refreshed.

Maximum session length – when all sessions are closed. Inactivity timer – sessions are closed when they are idle for the specified period.

APN Username/Password requirements Description
eseye.com

APN username and password is mandatory (using PAP or CHAP).

Private APN only.

While you can configure usernames and passwords for each SIM, this is not recommended as it creates difficulties with manufacturing logistics.

Maximum session length: 28 days

Inactivity timer: Disabled

eseye1

(AnyNet default APN)

APN username and password is highly recommended (using PAP or CHAP), as the MNO expects these credentials.

Private APN only. Failure to supply the APN credentials may result in an inability to integrate with some interconnects.

Maximum session length: 28 days

Inactivity timer: Disabled
eseye2

APN username and password is not mandatory but can be supplied (using PAP or CHAP).

Private APN only. This is recommended for devices where the modem may remain connected with an open data session for a long period, but there is little data traffic, and the device firmware does not actively monitor the connection health.

Maximum session length: 24 hours

Inactivity timer: 1 hour

anynetweb.com

APN username and password is not mandatory but can be supplied (using PAP or CHAP).

Private APN only. Suitable for very high data volumes, for example, uploading video content to many devices in a short time window.

Maximum session length: 24 hours

Inactivity timer: 1 hour
anynetsim.com APN username and password is not mandatory but can be supplied (using PAP or CHAP).

Private APN only. Enables regionalised routing where devices need low latency internet connections. For more information, see About regionalised routing.

If you are working on Verizon certification, this is the primary APN to use. For more information, see Best Practice: Eseye-specific APN management on devices.

Maximum session length: 28 days

Inactivity timer: Disabled

Additional APN details

The following details currently apply to all our APNs:

  • NAT mapping / firewall timeouts (for UDP ports 500 and 4500, as well as TCP):

    • Idle timeout: 1 hour

    • Timeout half-closed: 10 mins

    • UDP timeout: 2 mins

  • Only IPv4 is supported (not dual-stack or IPv6)
  • TOS/DSCP bits are ignored
  • QCI/5QI default values:

    • Data flow: non-GBR (Guaranteed Bit Rate)

    • QoS Class Identifier (QCI): 8

    • Target latency: 300ms

    • Desired packet loss rate: E-6 (1 in a million)

  • Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU): 1418 Bytes

  • We run our own authoritative DNS nameservers. Initial queries are made against the root servers, detailed here: IANA Root Servers.

    The IANA root servers subdelegate to other servers by country and authority.
