Overview

The Truphone eSIM comes as standard with our global IoT connectivity.

eSIM can securely provision and store multiple operator profiles—providing the ability to easily switch between networks. With Truphone’s data plans and Consumer/M2M SIMs, IoT devices can therefore be updated and connected remotely and at scale—the deployment and management of connectivity for thousands of devices, at your fingertips.

A single IoT SIM for global operations

IoT eSIM evolves the traditional IoT SIM card from the ‘dumb chip’ locked to one network, to a smart, rewritable and network-agnostic module—which can be embedded into the device or written onto a removable card. eSIM is not a form factor but a new standard which provides enhanced capabilities to manufacturers and end-users.

• Load operator profiles to multiple devices remotely, over the mobile network or using Wi-Fi.
• Swap profiles without removing the IoT SIM card. Store multiple profiles on a single device.
• Connect any device more efficiently. SIM form factors’ flexibility often reduces the amount of device space taken up.
• Allow roaming and moving devices to automatically navigate between network providers.
• Enable IoT deployments to be updated by pushing profile changes to the devices from a unified control platform.
• Set up devices more easily with pre-configured connectivity for an enhanced customer experience.

IoT without Wi-Fi, connected globally

IoT eSIM connects devices from the moment they are switched on. The fact that it can store multiple profiles on one chip allows manufacturers to ship products with a profile containing a small amount of connectivity built in. We call this the Bootstrap profile.

Centralised activation

Bootstrap is essential to activate IoT devices remotely or where no interface is available. IoT administrators can use this connectivity to remotely provision an operational eSIM profile to the M2M SIM on the IoT device—either from Truphone or another operator of their choosing, without the need to manually interact with them.

Single-SKU manufacturing

IoT eSIM is especially suited to Truphone’s IoT data plans as our global network allows devices to be activated anywhere in the world. This provides for a more efficient supply chain—enabling device makers to confidently manufacture eSIM-enabled devices in a single production line, safe in the knowledge they will connect.
