Any device, any cellular network

What is an eSIM?

Embedded SIMs (eSIMs) incorporate new functionality that’s needed to enable the world of IoT devices.
The term eSIM can refer to either the embedded SIM form (also known as an eUICC) or the ability to store multiple profiles and remotely provision them.
They enable storage and remote management of multiple network operator profiles (Remote SIM Provisioning), offering the following advantages:

Seamless global connectivity

Networks can be switched easily and without physical handling, anywhere in the world.

Size

Because eSIMs are less than half the size of Nano SIMs and don’t require a socket, they easily fit in very small devices.

Durability

Users can’t reach eSIMs so they can’t damage or lose them.

Physical security

A SIM soldered within a closed device is hard to locate, remove, and reuse.

Cost

eSIMs reduce the total cost of ownership of the device because they optimize and eliminate supply chain management costs.

Remote SIM provisioning for M2M, Consumer and IoT Devices.

eSIM for the M2M market

eSIM for M2M was initially embraced by the automotive sector who were eager to adopt this new technology because it provides exciting, new ways to increase flexibility and after-sale support. For example, it can be used to improve car-sharing, parking, or charging assistance. It can even extend vehicle longevity or upgrade vehicle functions through over-the-air software updates enabled by remotely provisioned eSIMs and iSIMs. Likewise, autonomous vehicles will need to communicate with each other and with the highway infrastructure. eSIMs or iSIMs will provide the flexibility to select the right network for the right location and country.

Agriculture and global food supply

Tracking food product safety throughout the entire supply chain becomes more important every day. eSIMs and iSIMs can be provisioned for multiple networks, enabling real-time monitoring of storage and transit environments to ensure food freshness.

Smart metering

The longevity advantage was the main reason for eSIM technology to be considered for smart metering where it solved the problem of operator lock-in for public companies who need to go to tender for cellular connectivity supply on a regular basis.

eSIM for the consumer market

eSIM brings plenty of opportunities in the consumer market: the change from a mobile-per-person model to an all-things-connected model will be a game-changer for the industry
