eSIM & eUICC-Enabled IoT SIM Cards

Future-Proof Your IoT Devices with Cutting-Edge Connectivity

eSIM and eUICC allow remote SIM provisioning, saving space and future-proofing devices for evolving networks.

Exploring eSIM & eUICC Technology

Trafalgar Wireless provides IoT Data Plans in conjunction with SIM Cards. These are available in numerous different form factors. One key innovation in this area is the emergence of the eSIM, along with a closely related technology called Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC).

Initially, the term ‘eSIM’ was a reference to the SIM card being embedded onto the printed circuit board (PCB) of the device. However, eSIMs are now also available with traditional plastic form factors as well.

What distinguishes eSIMs – whether embedded or plastic – from their more traditional SIM cousins is their ability to be remotely programmed:

Remote SIM Provisioning

Unlike traditional SIM cards, which are physically inserted into a device, eSIMs allow SIM profiles to be downloaded and provisioned remotely over-the-air. This allows users to switch between different networks without needing to physically swap SIM cards.

Space Saving

 For eSIMs which are integrated into the device’s hardware, they save physical space compared to traditional SIM cards. This is especially important for devices with compact designs, such as smartwatches and IoT devices.

Future-Proofing

eUICC technology enables devices to support future network technologies and standards. This helps prolong the lifespan of devices and ensures compatibility with evolving mobile networks.

Key Features of eSIM & eUICC Technology

Future-Ready Connectivity

eSIMs with eUICC technology are engineered to evolve with your needs. Unlike traditional SIM cards, eSIMs allow for seamless network profile updates over the air, eliminating the need for physical replacements and future-proofing your devices for evolving technologies.

Space-Saving Design

eSIMs are integrated directly into a device’s hardware, reducing the need for a physical SIM card slot. This makes them ideal for compact devices such as wearables, IoT sensors, and smart meters, optimizing design and durability.

Effortless International Roaming

eUICC technology supports multiple network profiles on a single eSIM, enabling devices to switch between carriers as needed. This ensures uninterrupted global connectivity for devices operating across borders.

Multi-Form Factor Options

eSIMs are available in embedded MFF2 formats for space efficiency or traditional plastic forms (2FF, 3FF, 4FF, Tri-cut) for flexible deployment, ensuring compatibility with a range of devices and applications.

Durable & Secure

eSIMs are built to withstand harsh conditions, offering the same resilience as industrial-grade SIM cards. Advanced encryption and security features protect sensitive data, ensuring secure communication between devices and networks.

Consistent Longevity

With a lifespan comparable to industrial SIM cards, eSIMs provide reliable performance even in extreme environments, from high temperatures to remote locations.

IoTSuite Management Platform

Manage your entire network of eSIMs with Trafalgar Wireless’s IoTSuite platform. Whether you’re deploying devices globally or switching carriers, IoTSuite provides seamless control, real-time insights, and efficient provisioning of IoT devices.

Flexible IoT Data Plans
