A Brief Guide to iSIM
The future of SIM technology ha sarrived, and all eyes are on iSIM.
The future of SIM technology is here, and iSIM is at the forefront of this transformation. By integrating SIM functionality directly into a System-on-Chip (SoC), iSIM eliminates the need for a separate SIM card or chip, offering significant advantages for IoT and beyond.
Why iSIM?
- Smaller, More Efficient Devices – Reduces device footprint by up to 98%, enabling ultra-compact designs for IoT, wearables, and more.
- Enhanced Security – Fully integrated security elements, compliant with GSMA and global standards.
- Optimized Power Consumption – Designed for low-power IoT networks (LTE-M, NB-IoT), extending battery life to 10-15 years.
- Cost and Supply Chain Benefits – Fewer components lower manufacturing costs and simplify device deployment.
- Sustainability – Eliminates the need for plastic SIM cards, reducing environmental impact.
