Top uses of eSIM technology

NEW DELHI: An embedded SIM (subscriber identity module) or eSIM, as the name suggests, is in-built into a smartphone or Internet of Things (IoT) device’s main board, compared to a physical SIM that needs to be slotted into a smartphone by the user.

An embedded SIM comes with secure hardware and software which contain subscriber details and other specifications for connecting to the telecom operator’s mobile network.

eSIM and iSIM solutions provider Kigen notes that eSIM is a GSMA specification that enables remote SIM provisioning (RSP) of any cellular device. It allows for a simple and secure method for downloading a user profile (or multiple profiles) over the air from a telco.
