Cellular eSIM Connectivity for IoT Applications
Cellular IoT technology is an essential component of both 4G and 5G connectivity, providing Mobile Network Operators with a foundation to enhance their digital capabilities. Managing?cellular IoT connectivity?is made easier with the use of eSIM which enables ongoing technology improvements and continuous updates with mobile network operator profiles. The?embedded SIM?(eSIM) delivers secure digital connectivity service and plays a crucial role in M2M connections.
Each SIM card is pre programmed with a unique operator identifier and authentication codes, then shipped to the user. These eSIMs are hard-wired into the mobile device and when combined with the software component, called eUICC, allow for remote provisioning, or changing MNOs and operator credentials over the air—that is, through the cloud, without physical logistics
When an eSIM device is deployed in the field and connects for the first time, it uses a preloaded bootstrap profile that offers global connectivity options to connect to the cellular network. The bootstrap allows the device to connect straight out of the box to permitted networks within the coverage limitations and cellular technology the device supports. As soon as a profile is selected to switch to, it can be replaced by alternative operator profiles through?remote SIM provisioning .
Advantages :
1.?????Global deployment of IoT devices
2.????Simplified inventory management?
3.?????More efficient and cost-effective product launches
4.?????Switching owners and user profiles “over the air,” without having to physically exchange SIM cards
5.?????Smaller, more durable devices
