Tata Communications, Micron partner for e-SIM biz; delivery in H1 2021

Tata Communications on Tuesday said it has partnered with Micron Technology for a cloud based e-SIM business to replace the existing physical SIM cards.

The e-SIM shipments are expected to start in the first half of next year, it added.

“Micron Technology, Inc and Tata Communications…are joining forces to create a worldwide cellular-enabled connectivity solution that will simplify and accelerate large-scale global deployment of internet of things (IoT) devices.

“This solution will be powered by a new virtual SIM, the world’s first cloud-based embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM), which offers a flexible, scalable alternative to conventional physical SIM cards,” Tata Communications said in a statement.
