What’s an IoT eSIM?

The answer isn’t so straightforward. In telecommunications, IoT eSIM is used to define a variety of things.

eUICC SIMs
eUICC SIMs enable the remote provisioning of carrier profiles on IoT devices. This eliminates the need to manually swap physical SIM cards when switching carriers.
Embedded SIMs
Embedded SIMs are a form factor, commonly mistakenly referred to as eSIMs. This is a non-removable SIM card that can be soldered directly to the surface of a circuit board.
eSIM IoT (SGP.32)
eSIM for IoT is the SIM technology standard set by GSMA in SGP.31, SGP.32, and SGP.33. It enables remote operator profile changes, streamlining connectivity.

Onomondo vs. the industry

Network integration

Refers to the underlying SIM technology: UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card), IMSI (the identifier), and eUICC/eSIM (enabling dynamic profile switching).

 Standard UICC with a single International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), integrated with a global core network UICC with multiple IMSIs for network flexibility Embedded UICC (eUICC), also known as eSIM, supports multiple downloadable profiles
Signal strength and reliability

Describes the reliability and quality of the network signal accessed by the SIM, crucial for uninterrupted connectivity.

 Optimized through Onomondo's unified core network integration Varies with IMSI selection, dependent on the coverage of each carrier's network Dependent on the eSIM profile in use, varying by carrier network performance
Data transfer efficiency

Indicates the SIM’s capability to manage data usage effectively, impacting operational costs and data throughput.

 Enhanced due to Onomondo's network optimizations, reducing unnecessary data usage Efficiency varies, potentially less optimized due to switching between multiple IMSIs/carriers Profile-dependent efficiency; can be optimized based on the chosen carrier profile
Battery-life optimization

Reflects the influence of the SIM card technology on the device’s overall battery consumption, a critical aspect for IoT devices.

 Likely better, as Onomondo's network optimizations can reduce power consumption Can be impacted by frequent IMSI switching, potentially increasing power usage Power efficiency depends on the eSIM management system and selected carrier profile
Deployment and management complexity

Involves the operational complexity of deploying and managing the eSIM, especially in global and diverse network environments.

 Simplified with single IMSI, easier to manage across global networks More complex due to managing connections across multiple IMSIs and carriers Requires sophisticated management for multiple eSIM profiles, but offers high flexibility
Expansive Cellular Coverage

Choose your network coverage

Gain access to 680+ networks in 180+ countries. Choose the best networks for your business, ensuring redundant coverage and always connecting to the strongest, most stable signal.
