# Cellular Identities

## Introduction

​​Monogoto SIMs can manage multiple cellular identities via its proprietary [Monogoto Toolkit (MTK)](https://docs.monogoto.io/getting-started/monogotos-sim-tool-kit-mtk). Each identity has a unique roaming policy, allowing the SIM to connect to any network specified by that policy. From global to country-specific identities, this multi-identity solution is designed to ensure maximum connectivity resiliency.

## What Are Mobile Identities?

Mobile identities in Monogoto refer to IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), which is a unique identifier used to represent a SIM within a mobile network. This identifier is crucial for authenticating and registering SIMs on the network, ensuring they can access mobile services.

Each IMSI in Monogoto is linked to a specific identity. These identities determine the coverage and service capabilities available to the SIM. These identities are mapped to different [coverage lists](#coverage-lists), ensuring that users have access to mobile networks in various regions and countries.

### Example of Identity Functionality: Profile E

Consider Profile E in the Czech Republic. A SIM with this identity can connect to Vodafone, O2, and T-Mobile. If the device is connected to Vodafone but in a poor coverage area, the profile allows the SIM to connect to the available operator within the area. This principle applies to all other profiles in the listed countries.

## Local Breakout <a href="#docs-internal-guid-dcbbb75d-7fff-7d3f-254a-e60f190a4e5c" id="docs-internal-guid-dcbbb75d-7fff-7d3f-254a-e60f190a4e5c"></a>

Local breakout allows the data session to be processed and routed locally to reduce latency and enhance network efficiency, enabling quicker response times and improved performance.

In Monogoto, we have three local breakouts:

* North America (US), serving Profile U.
* Europe (DEU), serving Profiles B and E.
* Middle East (IL), serving Profile C.

## Benefits of Mobile Identities in Monogoto

Global Connectivity: Monogoto ensures that users can access mobile networks worldwide by allocating the right identities to the SIM.

Reliable Service: The association of profiles with coverage lists guarantees reliable and consistent mobile connectivity.

Flexibility: Different profiles cater to various connectivity needs, allowing users to choose the profile that best fits their requirements.
