[AusNOG] Static IP on a 3G/4G mobile service

[Robert Hudson]

Hi all,

My employer has a requirement for a 3G/4G SIM that will be put into an
embedded device with a 3G/4G modem built into it.  Telstra has been chosen
as the preferred carrier because of superior coverage in general, but for
the purposes of the testing we're doing at the moment, they're not an
absolute requirement.

I'm familiar with the process to obtain a public IP on NextG (non CGN) with
Telstra, but we've asked our communications partner (we don't deal direct
with Telstra, as our account isn't big enough to warrant a dedicated
account manager) if we can get a static IP, and they effectively looked at
us like we had two heads, not even understanding the question, let alone
the requirement for it.

If anyone on the list has successfully obtained a static IP allocation from
a mobile carrier, I'd love to have a talk to you.

Thanks.

Robert
