How eSIM Technology Help You Boost IoT Connectivity?
The SIM card is a technology which most of us are familiar with, present in mobile devices since the early nineties. The SIM card is the piece of hardware that contains data that authenticates us with our mobile operator; receives a mobile connection, and enabling us to connect to a network. However, in the future, a huge variety of connected devices will connect to mobile networks without the need for a SIM card, thanks to the eSIM management technology.
Businesses with a large number of mobiles used by the employees will also benefit from the convenience of the eSIM solution. eSIM management platform can deliver the streamlined user experience for managing cellular connectivity, deploy new devices in a rapid & convenient fashion, and enabling IT teams to provision. Adding new phones to the corporate mobile service, or swapping devices between users as they join & leave the company will become much more efficient, as it can be accomplished remotely. Profiles for each user can also be personalized & data plans can be optimized and adjusted, via the eSIM remote management tools.
Future-proofing Connected Devices
IoT service ecosystems that are deployed over a long period are protected from the impact of evolving network technologies, sunsets, or service terminations, by eliminating technical or carrier lock-ins with a single eSIM.
Eliminating SIM switching costs
Remote provisioning and different carrier profiles & network technologies enable businesses to eliminate the need to buy new SIM cards and physically replace legacy SIMs.
Maximizing Returns on IoT Investments
By reducing costs & improving logistical and operational efficiencies, businesses are empowered to minimize the total cost of ownership of connected devices & boost returns on the IoT service marketplace.
Streamlining Logistics Management
With no need to physically replace legacy eSIMs, organizations eliminate the procedure of managing costly & time-consuming truck rolls to spread geographic locations.
Cellular-connected devices which are still using SIM technology need a device tray that the chip can be inserted within. While this has worked for decades, it needs to change as there is a hole in the device where dust & water can potentially enter, and cause irreparable damage. ESIM technology enables manufacturers to build waterproof IoT devices. This can open the door to new opportunities in IoT water monitoring, flood prediction, & other use cases while offering end-users a product that is far more durable.
It is easier to switch networks. An eSIM IoT solution makes it much easier to switch mobile networks. Instead of needing to order a new SIM, waiting for it to arrive, then inserting it into your mobile, you can switch to a different network with a mobile call or online. You also would not need to go hunting for a SIM ejector tool to remove the old SIM from your mobile phone.
