Summary

Twilio has announced the SIM Data Sessions Rest API, which provides detailed information about internet session connections between devices and cellular networks. The API returns a list of resources containing data on radio towers, location, packets uploaded/downloaded, and more. This information can be accessed through the Console's SIM section or by using the Python helper library. Additionally, Twilio has improved its Console experience, allowing users to visualize connectivity information for individual SIMs. Remote network connection resets are also now possible, enabling automation of Tier 1 support functions. Furthermore, Twilio is making it easier for IoT products to integrate with cellular services, including sending and receiving commands when a SIM is in the ready status.
