emnify is planning to optimize the selection criteria for the automatic breakout region, taking advantage of the newly available regions eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) and eu-central-2 (Zurich) and the resulting inter-regional latency measurements.
The change will be rolled out starting with September 30th, 2024.
As a result, customers who configured the “Automatic breakout region” in the Service Policy will observe lower latencies on the data path due to the data traffic being shifted to a closer geographical location.
No interruption is expected, because data sessions will migrate to the newly assigned regions as they are being recreated by the devices.
However, customers who implement IP address filtering on the backend / application must be aware that the public IP addresses of the device may change and therefore may get blocked. To prevent this from happening, the firewall rules must be updated to include all the public IP address used by emnify, as documented here: https://support.emnify.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417775717010-List-of-emnify-s-public-IPs. The most frequent migration will be from eu-west-1 (Ireland) to eu-central-1 (Frankfurt).
The breakout region used by a particular device can be quickly identified in the portal:
![breakout_region_and_Gi](https://canny.io/images/2535fe2aeeb65db705f3f1ac60a0b4e8.png)
The selection mechanism for the automatic breakout region may be overridden by explicitly configuring a region in the Service Policy (instead of the automatic breakout region).

Reworked SIM inventory table and details
We have released Reworked SIM inventory Interface.
What is included into the release:
- Reworked Interface: added SIM status column and moved ICCID and MSISDN columns to the first place;
- Now users can open details by clicking on any raw at any place;
- In SIM details we maid it easier to copy any ID number by hovering it and removed unused fields of information;
Please check Product Docs if you have any questions.
In the following months we will keep updating SIM inventory providing new features for SIM management and filtering

Reworked Service Policy with Custom Thresholds and Limits
![Screenshot 2024-07-15 at 12](https://canny.io/images/1dc1315551afa7f4707974aee3cfff1b.png)
We have started a staged release of Reworked Service Policy.
What is included into the release:
- We reworked whole Interface of Service Policy.
- Now users can set Data limits and Thresholds to any custom value. When custom threshold is reached there should be an event created in event log.
We are deploying new functionality in a few steps. During next 20-30 days Reworked Service Policy will be available for all clients.
Please check Product Docs if you have any questions.
What's New?
Previously, you could only block Operators and also RAT types at the device level. With this new API, you now have the capability to apply these blocks at the Coverage Policy level, which means you can manage groups of devices more efficiently.
1. Prevent Device Malfunctions:
Avoid connectivity issues by blocking operators that are down or not functioning properly, and/or restricting RAT types that experience problems on a specific operator. This new feature helps maintain stable network connections.
2. Enhanced Control over Coverage:
Optimize your devices data usage by blocking operators in countries where you don't want them to function. This allows you to manage your connectivity budget and upsell new countries access to your IoT devices users.
We will add Portal functionality next step. Let us know by leaving a LIKE under this post if you want to be the first to test it.

IP address management updates
As part of a larger overhaul of the IP address space management, emnify has rolled out the following updates:
- On the portal, the IP address space management section has been relocated from the Integrationfolder on the left-hand menu to theDevice Policies
- Customers who handle the IP address space management directly over the REST API shall be advised that the PUT /api/v1/ip_address_space/{address_space_id} https://cdn.emnify.net/api/doc/swagger.html#/IP%20Address%20Spaces/IpAddressSpaceByIdPut entry point is being deprecated in favor of the POST /api/v1/ip_address_space/ https://cdn.emnify.net/api/doc/swagger.html#/IP%20Address%20Spaces/IpAddressSpacePost and will be decommissioned by September 30th, 2024. The main difference is that the POST request specifies an IP address space (as returned in GET /api/v1/ip_address_space/available) in numeric representation rather than an ID.
We are happy to announce that we signed a dedicated roaming agreement with o2 that provides guaranteed LTE-M service in the United Kingdom. Power optimization features PSM and eDRX are also supprted.
With 30 European countries the emnify SuperNetwork provides that largest LTE-M coverage on the continent - allowing you to deploy LTE-M devices in all main markets across Europe.
