eSIM adoption is accelerating globally, with new providers entering the market almost daily to meet the rising demand for flexible, digital connectivity. In response to this momentum, eSIM Go has unveiled a powerful new eSIM launch platform—developed with CSG—to help businesses become MVNOs in just 48 hours.

As the global mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market surges towards a projected $137 billion by 2030, eSIM Go, a digital connectivity pioneer, is scaling for future growth.

With its modernised user platform, developed in collaboration with CSG, eSIM Go will simplify and speed up the MVNO journey, enabling faster onboarding, richer self-service, and seamless integration of digital offerings.

“Businesses from fintechs to airlines are looking to deepen customer relationships by offering custom digital mobile services. But becoming an MVNO has traditionally been a slow, complex and inflexible process,” said Zacc Couldrick, CEO, eSIM Go. “As we aim to eliminate the barriers to entry into the digital connectivity space, we needed a technology provider with deep network relationships and a history of simplifying complex processes. With CSG’s proven, cloud-native technology, we’ve built a platform that makes it easy to launch, integrate and personalise connectivity offerings that customers truly value.”

eSIM Go’s next-generation platform allows businesses to deploy new wireless services in as little as 48 hours. By integrating CSG Ascendon into the platform, eSIM Go customers benefit from streamlined onboarding and offboarding and a fast, intuitive self-service experience. Whether scaling a product portfolio or entering new markets, eSIM Go customers can move with greater speed and agility to meet the evolving demands of a digital economy.

“We’re seeing a resurgence in MVNO innovation, as businesses create tailored connectivity services for niche and underserved markets,” said Sean Casey, SVP, Product Management, CSG. “In a complex partnership ecosystem, eSIM Go’s modernised platform redefines what’s possible, making MVNO onboarding faster, easier and more scalable while building loyalty that lasts. This is a pivotal step in the evolution of digital connectivity, and it’s an honour for CSG to support eSIM Go as it leads the charge in delivering simplified, future-ready solutions for sustainable growth.”

Conclusion about the eSIM launch platform

The rise of eSIM is no longer just a convenience—it’s a strategic enabler transforming mobile services. Global eSIM market value rose from $11.8 billion in 2023 to $13.5 billion in 2024, with forecasts pointing toward nearly $32 billion by 2030—a strong 15 % CAGR. In parallel, MVNOs are experiencing robust expansion: the worldwide market is projected to reach $149 billion by 2030, growing at around 8–12% annually.

Key trends fueling this growth include:

1. Rapid eSIM adoption in devices—with roughly 60% of smartphones eSIM-compatible by 2025.

2. 5G and IoT proliferation, opening niches for innovative, specialized MVNO services.

3. A consumer appetite for affordable, flexible, digital-first plans, empowering MVNOs to challenge traditional carriers.

In this climate, eSIM Go’s new platform isn’t just timely—it’s foundational. By leveraging CSG’s cloud-native Ascendon, it removes traditional launch barriers—technical complexity, lengthy integration cycles, and inflexible billing systems—reducing deployment from months to 48 hours. Essentially, it offers a turnkey MVNO solution for sectors like fintech, airlines, and retail that want to embed, brand, and monetize connectivity.

Crucially, this initiative aligns with broader ecosystem trends: carriers like Vodafone are actively courting MVNO partnerships to maximize 5G wholesale revenue, while service providers like Gigs are racing to become “Stripe for telecom”—delivering embedded wireless via APIs.

Bottom line: eSIM Go’s platform is a strategic innovation, enabling any brand to enter the digital mobile space swiftly and confidently. As device compatibility, 5G infrastructure, and consumer demand converge, solutions like this will be essential—not just advantageous—for sustained competitiveness and growth in the next wave of connectivity.
