UCLOUDLINK GROUP INC., the world’s first and leading mobile data traffic sharing marketplace, announced that its GlocalMe eSIM TRIO received the “MWC Innovation Award” from SlashGear after unveiling the solution at the Mobile World Capital (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona. eSIM TRIO impressed SlashGear’s team with its innovative and novel approach to redefining travel connectivity.

SlashGear’s “MWC Innovation Award” honors the best tech selected by their team of consumer tech experts at the annual MWC showcase. Part of the company’s expanding GlocalMe SIM series of solutions, eSIM TRIO integrates Over-the-Air (OTA) SIM, Cloud SIM, and eSIM into a single solution for seamless local and global connectivity, eliminating the need for costly international roaming and providing users with reliable, high-speed connectivity across MNOs’ networks.

“GlocalMe eSIM Trio,” is a groundbreaking SIM card that allows users to access eSIM technology on smartphones without built-in eSIM capabilities. Additionally, it enables the seamless transfer of eSIM contract information between different smartphone models.

Unveiling at CES 2025

The GlocalMe eSIM Trio was showcased at the uCloudlink booth at CES 2025 and is expected to officially launch in February or March, though pricing has not yet been determined.

How It Works

A dedicated app demonstrated at CES 2025 showed how users can store multiple eSIM profiles directly inside the eSIM Trio. The solution supports both Android and iOS, marking a major step forward, as previous similar products were primarily limited to Android devices. Additionally, even if users do not save an eSIM profile, the SIM card itself functions as a global SIM, leveraging GlocalMe‘s expertise in globally compatible mobile routers.

Mr. Chaohui Chen, Director and CEO of UCLOUDLINK, said:

“eSIM TRIO was one of the flagship innovations we unveiled at MWC 2025, positioning it as the industry’s premier second SIM solution that revolutionizes global connectivity. This cutting-edge technology comprehensively addresses persistent consumer pain points including exorbitant roaming costs, sluggish speeds, limited local coverage, and unreliable connections. Beyond empowering consumers with seamless worldwide access through a single SIM solution, eSIM TRIO enables tier 2 and 3 MNOs and MVNOs to enhance service quality, ensure reliable connectivity overseas, and expand their market presence. This prestigious industry recognition reaffirms our leadership in delivering transformative eSIM solutions that redefine everyday connectivity experiences worldwide.”
