Why use SoftSIM with Quectel?

The end of buying SIM cards
The Onomondo SoftSIM has zero upfront cost, reducing the bill of materials for your IoT project by €2.00 to €3.00 per device.
Near-instant delivery
As SoftSIM is 100% pure software, provisioning SIMs on your device on demand, with no need to wait for physical SIM shipments.
Fast and agile device testing
By reducing the number of integrations needed between hardware components, it is easier and quicker to begin testing device connectivity.
Eliminate plastic waste
The production of SIM cards annually generates 18,000 tons of plastic waste. SoftSIM eliminates this for your business.
Secured SIM keys
SoftSIM is a protected part of device firmware and can’t be tampered with, protecting sensitive device and customer data.
Increased devices flexibility
SoftSIM reduces the power consumption of idle devices, saving money and resources while ensuring maximum efficiency.
About SoftSIM
The next generation of IoT connectivity

The Onomondo SoftSIM is a software-based, GSMA-compliant, UICC SIM – supporting all of the features required for connectivity. Unlike an eSIMs, there is no hardware or chip required.

By reusing the existing resources on IoT devices, our SIM application can be stored and executed as pure software.
