Also commonly referred to as eSIM, eUICC allows users to remotely provision and change service providers over the air (OTA) without physically accessing the SIM card. This provides a global, operator-independent connectivity solution, which is critical for tomorrow’s IoT use cases because it enables:
Flexibility to control subscription cost, coverage and service level for the entire lifecycle of the device, which is beneficial for companies in the utility, retail, insurance and healthcare spaces, where devices can be deployed for more than 10 years.
New service-based IoT business models, allowing global equipment manufacturers, like PC and auto makers, to configure every device the same way at the factory and then remotely manage subscriptions to provide better coverage and customer service wherever the device lands and is operated.
Remote provisioning to access the best subscription options for a given region, which helps businesses in transportation, telematics and other sectors, where crossing borders results in higher costs.
“eUICC represents the most radical change in over two decades of cellular connectivity, because it allows customers to select and change service provider profiles based on the criteria or business rules of their choosing,” said Andrew Brown, Executive Director, Enterprise and IoT Research, Strategy Analytics. “This allows businesses to think globally and expand their offerings from products to connected services.” |
