Introduction
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM embedded directly into devices like phones or smartwatches, enabling remote connectivity to mobile networks and simplifying the process for wearables and innovative devices.
Benefits of eSIMs
- Security: Offers equivalent security to removable SIMs, ensuring secure network access, privacy, and billing integrity, especially in roaming.
- End Users: Simplifies subscription management, eliminating the need for multiple physical SIM cards.
- Distributors: Reduces logistics complexity and customization needs for specific operators or regions.
- Operators: Expands business opportunities in emerging markets (e.g., automotive, wearables) and reduces SIM distribution costs, enabling new subscription models.
- Device Manufacturers: Allows smaller, more durable devices by reducing space requirements and improving resistance to environmental factors. eSIMs also optimize supply chain processes.
