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.
