Through the development of its own autonomous eSIM infrastructure, Estonian connection provider 1oT intends to revolutionize the communications sector. esim tech

The start-up asserts that it is the first global connectivity provider with eSIM technology that is not a part of the telecom industry. The eSIM Core infrastructure, the sixteenth of its kind in Europe, is currently being accredited by GSMA, it was further said.

The same service as a physical SIM is offered by electronic SIMs, or eSIMs, but data is kept in a few lines of code on a special chip that is integrated into a device rather than on a standard SIM. The technology is programmable and enables access to several connectivity providers using a single SIM.

Instead of licensing the eSIM infrastructure from one of the major vendors (Thales, Idemia, G+D, or Valid), owning the eSIM infrastructure allows us to be more cost-effective and improve the management of millions devices and SIMs worldwide, company said.

Why 1oT built the eSIM infrastructure? esim tech

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as one of the fundamental trends underlying the digital transformation of business and the economy since the Internet. However, connecting IoT devices to the Internet is still extremely complex and costly.

Despite the introduction of eSIM technology in 2016, the adoption and deployment of this technology have remained modest. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of cooperation between telecommunications companies and other service providers.

Company launched 1oT eSIM in 2019 with Valid by licensing the Remote Subscription Management (RSP) platform. Today, 1oT has sold half a million eSIMs and introduced 7 different telecom profiles on a single eSIM service. Company said that they have become a “Tinder of telecoms”, combining various telecom providers on a single eSIM card and enabling  customers to find the best connectivity match for their use case.

So the question is, why did 1oT built their own eSIM infrastructure?

18 months ago, 1oT saw an opportunity to provide a better connectivity service by taking control of the entire value chain ourselves from start to finish.

That’s why 1oT set out to become the first telecom-independent cellular connectivity provider to build an eSIM infrastructure precisely for the IoT market.

What is 1oT eSIM Core?

The new infrastructure, 1oT eSIM Core, is an end-to-end solution that enables eSIM for IoT and M2M devices. Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) follows the M2M specification of eSIM and includes SM-SR (Subscription Manager Secure Routing) and SM-DP (Subscription Manager Data Preparation).

1oT eSIM Core leverages the best of both worlds by creating a hybrid combination of cloud and on-premise infrastructure. The on-site location is in Estonia’s most business-critical data centre – the Tallinn TV tower.

It is powered entirely by renewable energy, making it the first of its kind in the world. This step is in line with company goal to reduce the environmental footprint of their services. The first step in this direction was taken in spring 2022 when 1oT introduced half-size eSIMs.  On that way company reduced plastic consumption by half.

Another key improvement for us was speed and scalability.

That’s why company also hosted parts of eSIM in a GSMA-compliant AWS data centre. This guarantees support for the rapid growth of 1oT, their customers, and the IoT sector in general.

Or most importantly: what is changing?

For current 1oT subscribers, everything really does improve. Owning the eSIM infrastructure ensures high-quality and secure connections, speeds up the process of onboarding new telecom profiles. Also it opens up new opportunities for extended value-added services and synergies with 1oT connectivity management platform 1oT Terminal.

1oT has turned many of the tools they developed for their services, such as: 1oT Terminal, into infrastructures for other companies by offering the connectivity management platform as a white label solution for telecoms and connectivity providers.

Similarly, 1oT claims to be the first and best customer for the 1oT eSIM Core. However, 1oT can also license state-of-the-art eSIM infrastructure to any enterprise or telecom.

By leveraging the speed, flexibility, and resiliency offered by 1oT eSIM Core and 1oT Terminal, any company can have the most advanced eSIM connectivity for connected devices.

In addition to a robust remote subscription management infrastructure, 1oT has developed an intuitive interface to manage the eSIM inventory and available eSIM profiles. Meaning that the eSIM infrastructure is fully compatible with existing systems through secure interfaces and APIs.

1oT eSIM Core platform supports over-the-air eSIM profile provisioning and inventory management for all eSIMs. The platform gives a detailed real-time overview of eSIM profiles and their activity. esim tech

If you are travelling abroad and need sim cards choose between daily, monthly or data packages without expiration or if prefer instant connectivity, get  eSIM. Also, be aware that each Android Smartphone Can Be Upgraded To ESIM With ESIM.Me
