Embedded SIM Cards
Seamless Connectivity and Flexibility for IoT Deployments
In the rapidly advancing world of the Internet of Things (IoT), the need for compact, secure, and flexible connectivity solutions is paramount.
Embedded SIM Card Applications
At Trafalgar Wireless, we understand that standard SIM cards, while essential, may not always be the ideal choice for every application. Our embedded SIM cards (eSIMs) are designed to provide unparalleled flexibility, security, and durability for IoT devices that require a more integrated solution.

Key Features of Embedded SIM Cards
Space-Saving Integration
Embedded SIM cards are soldered directly onto the device’s printed circuit board (PCB), eliminating the need for a physical SIM slot. This saves space and contributes to more compact and streamlined device designs.
Built for Extremes
Our embedded SIM cards are engineered to withstand extreme conditions, including wide temperature ranges, humidity, and vibration, ensuring they perform reliably in harsh environments.
Remote Provisioning
eSIM technology allows for over-the-air (OTA) updates, enabling remote management of carrier profiles. This flexibility allows devices to switch carriers without physical access, ensuring they remain connected anywhere in the world.
Extended Lifecycle
Designed to last over 17 years, our embedded SIM cards offer reliability and long-term performance, even in challenging environments.
Multi-Network Access
Embedded SIM cards can be programmed with multiple carrier profiles, allowing seamless connectivity across different networks and regions. This global capability ensures devices stay connected no matter where they are deployed.
Enhanced Security
With the SIM card integrated into the device, there’s no risk of theft, tampering, or loss. This embedded solution provides an additional layer of security, making it ideal for sensitive applications.

FAQ:
We support 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) connectivity, which means devices can take advantage of 5G data speeds while continuing to use existing 4G/LTE infrastructure for network control and coverage. In practical terms, 5G NSA is deployed on top of LTE cell towers, allowing for much broader geographic availability compared to full 5G Standalone (SA), which is still largely limited to dense urban areas and newer network rollouts. This approach provides a reliable balance between performance and coverage, making it well suited to IoT deployments that require consistent connectivity across cities, suburbs, and regional locations, without relying on limited stand alone only infrastructure.
For embedded SIM card (eSIM) deployments, this multi-generation support is a big advantage: low-power devices like sensors, meters, or trackers can use LTE-M or NB-IoT where available, while industrial gateways, routers, vehicles, and higher-bandwidth IoT equipment can run on fast 4G or 5G.
Because Trafalgar Wireless embedded SIM cards also support remote (OTA) profile management, you can keep the same soldered-in eSIM while switching carriers or upgrading network types over time, without physical SIM swaps or site visits.
Trafalgar Wireless embedded SIM cards (eSIMs) are designed for global IoT deployment, so they support a very large set of countries and carrier partners. According to Trafalgar Wireless, their embedded SIM card connectivity provides access to 500+ cellular networks across about 180 countries, all through a single SIM or eSIM source. This is especially useful if your devices move across borders (fleet, asset tracking, logistics) or if you want redundancy inside one country, because Trafalgar’s multi-network and multi-IMSI capabilities allow devices to connect to multiple partner networks and switch when a stronger signal is available.
In practical terms, that means your Trafalgar Wireless embedded SIM card can operate in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and beyond without needing separate local SIM contracts. As new carrier options come online, their network footprint can expand automatically, helping your embedded eSIM for IoT stay connected worldwide over the long lifecycle of your devices.
Yes, Trafalgar Wireless embedded SIM cards support eUICC and remote SIM provisioning, so you can manage carrier profiles over the air without physically touching the device. On their embedded SIM card service page, Trafalgar Wireless highlights Remote Provisioning as a key feature, explaining that eSIM technology allows OTA (over-the-air) updates and remote management of carrier profiles. This means your embedded SIM card can download, activate, or switch operator profiles digitally, which is exactly what eUICC-enabled eSIM for IoT is built for.
They also emphasize that embedded eSIMs can hold multiple carrier profiles and switch networks remotely, helping devices stay connected worldwide without SIM swaps or truck rolls. For long-lifecycle IoT hardware, industrial machines, vehicles, trackers, or smart infrastructure, this eUICC remote provisioning capability future-proofs your deployment and cuts operating costs, while keeping connectivity flexible as coverage or pricing needs change.
