In this video, Kamran Jehangir, a Technical Consultant at Eseye, explores the numerous benefits of iSIM technology for IoT applications. By eliminating the need for a physical SIM card, iSIM frees up valuable space within IoT devices, enabling more efficient design and smaller form factors. Kamran explains how iSIM supports remote provisioning, management, and modification of SIM profiles, which is essential for IoT devices in remote or hard-to-reach locations.

Additionally, iSIM provides robust security features, such as secure storage of SIM profiles and cryptographic keys, and is tamper-proof due to its embedded nature. This enhances the protection of IoT devices against unauthorized access and data breaches. The technology's remote management capabilities also contribute to energy conservation, allowing devices to enter low power modes and adjust connectivity settings based on usage patterns or network conditions, significantly reducing standby consumption.

iSIM simplifies the bill of materials and supply chain management, streamlining the process for device design, validation, and certification, ultimately reducing costs and complexities. Kamran concludes by highlighting how iSIM technology offers greater flexibility, efficiency, and security for IoT deployments, making it a compelling choice for organizations aiming to leverage IoT while minimizing operational challenges.

In this video, Kamran Jehangir, a Technical Consultant at Eseye, explains iSIM (integrated SIM) technology. Unlike traditional SIM cards, iSIM is embedded directly into the chipset or system of a device, eliminating the need for a physical or removable SIM card. Kamran highlights the key benefits of iSIM, including enhanced security, greater flexibility for manufacturers and users, and streamlined connectivity to cellular networks. This technology is especially advantageous for IoT, machine-to-machine (m2m), and other applications requiring remote management and scalability. Watch this video to understand how iSIM technology is revolutionizing device connectivity and management.

In this video, Nick Earle, Chairman and CEO at Eseye, discusses how advancements in eSIM technology and the EUICC protocol have revolutionized customer choice by breaking the traditional lock between operators and SIM cards.

For decades, SIM cards were locked to a specific operator, dictating roaming agreements and limiting customer flexibility. However, with the advent of generic SIMs, this dynamic has shifted, offering customers greater choice and forcing operators to innovate with new value-added services to retain revenue.

This change, coupled with declining data prices and pressures on roaming agreements, is creating considerable disruption. Operators now face the challenge of adopting new platforms—specifically, eSIM platforms that can work with multiple operators and localize connections. This collaborative model allows operators to maintain billing and customer relationships while federating connectivity with former competitors.

This major shift is expected to enhance customer choice and drive greater adoption in the IoT market over the coming years.

What’s currently going on with the global mobile network operator landscape?

In this video, we explore the critical importance of high IoT connectivity levels for business success across various industry verticals. Nick Earle, Chairman and CEO at Eseye, highlights how every percentage point of connectivity can significantly impact your business operations, brand reputation, and overall success.

For example, in the healthcare industry, each percentage point of lost connectivity means patients not receiving essential services, which can have severe consequences for both patient outcomes and your brand. Similarly, in industrial equipment monitoring, even a small drop in connectivity can result in substantial financial losses due to revenue downtime.

Despite the clear importance of high connectivity, a recent survey of over a thousand companies in Europe and the US revealed that only 1% of them achieved 98% or higher connectivity, and only 16% surpassed 95% connectivity.

Eseye’s model is designed to optimize device performance and deliver unbeatable connectivity globally. This is what sets Eseye apart from other suppliers, ensuring that your business can achieve its objectives and KPIs with minimal risk.

Focus on your business outcomes while we ensure the highest levels of connectivity with our managed service solutions.

It turns out that big mobile network players can learn a lot from the airline industry. These two seemingly disparate industries actually have more in common than might appear at first glance.

It is one of several topics discussed on our 40th special edition of IoT Leaders, which brings together Eseye’s two Founders Ian Marsden and Paul Marshall to discuss the global IoT connectivity challenges they set out to solve when they started Eseye.

The show explores:
- Eseye’s founding story from Zigbee to SGP.32 and beyond, including top a-ha moments from the past 16 years
- Why achieving 80% connectivity uptime kills the IoT business case
- The unsustainability of roaming as a quick fix for connectivity, and why there’s a need for a new financial model for roaming
- What mobile network operators (MNOs) can learn from the airline industry, and the Star Alliance in particular
- Why SGP.32 will be a big feature for 2024

Tune in to hear how Eseye tackled the challenges surrounding global connectivity long before it became an industry buzzword, and what the journey looks like today.

In this video, Nick Earle, Chairman and CEO at Eseye, discusses the crucial reasons why Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) need to adopt a global eSIM platform.

Firstly, the traditional business model of MNOs—where proprietary SIMs were locked to their networks with specific roaming agreements—is under threat due to the rise of eSIM and EUICC technology. This shift requires MNOs to offer global solutions that federate connectivity across various operators, similar to the Star Alliance model in the airline industry. This change allows MNOs to maintain control of customer relationships and compete for new business opportunities with a true global solution.

Secondly, and most importantly, this is driven by customer demand. Customers want a seamless, single product SKU for their IoT devices that can be manufactured in one region, shipped globally, and activated without hassle. This approach simplifies manufacturing, supply chains, and warranty processes, leading to significant cost savings and a consistent user experience worldwide.

The combined forces of these market changes and customer demands are driving the rapid adoption of global eSIM platforms by MNOs. This development is poised to benefit customers, enhance IoT business cases, and accelerate IoT adoption globally.
