eSIM

Wireless Logic’s eSIM provides significant commercial, operational and technical advantages for large scale deployments and applications that require a future-proof connectivity solution.

If you are planning projects which involve devices:

• operating for more than 2 or 3 years in the field
• manufactured in one country and deployed in many others
• transmitting high data volumes in more than one country

….then eSIM can simplify the whole supply chain and in-life management processes for IoT applications and devices.  Beginning with manufacturing using a single SIM component for all devices and the option to embed the SIM card or chip into the device on the production line and provision it later. The single SIM solution enables a single product SKU to be produced which represents enormous cost and time savings for device manufacturers and solution providers.

Wireless Logic eSIM solutions are fully compliant with the GSMA Remote SIM Provisioning Architecture for eUICC (the RSP) and provide an insurance policy for the future.

It avoids single vendor lock-in, counteracts permanent roaming restrictions, and allows for profile switching for commercial, technical or operational reasons, without the need to physically swap out SIMs, which can be an expensive process.

Logistically, devices can be shipped anywhere in the world, and will connect using Wireless Logic’s bootstrap or initial eSIM profile. New operational profiles can be downloaded onto the SIM if business conditions require it in future.

An eSIM has the ability to store more than one SIM profile. Profiles can be pre-loaded at the original factory provisioning stage or downloaded in an over-the-air (OTA) transaction.

Every eSIM will have a factory installed profile which we define as the Initial Profile or Bootstrap Profile. In many situations this profiles also serves as the operational profile in support of the initial phases of test and deployment and for the lifetime of the product.

• Can I use the initial eSIM profile (bootstrap) for the lifetime of my product?
• When does it make sense to download a new operational profile?
• What are the costs associated with eSIM setup and profile orchestration?
• When I change profiles, can I continue to use SIMPro to manage my eSIM estate?
• Do I need to bring my own profile suppliers or does Wireless Logic manage this for me?

The Wireless Logic team provides independent advice and helps our customers navigate the sometimes complex cellular landscape. Our goal is to help customers make informed eSIM choices and create a long-term connectivity solution which aligns best with their manufacturing, deployment and in-life operational models, both technical and commercial.
