MobileIron and IDEMIA Announce Support for eSIM-Enabled Windows 10 Enterprise Devices

MobileIron and IDEMIA announced support for eSIM-enabled Windows 10 enterprise devices. Organizations will be able to onboard, configure and manage eSIM-enabled Windows 10 devices as part of their established unified endpoint management (UEM) infrastructure, simplifying the entire device lifecycle – from enrollment to retirement. eSIM-Enabled Windows 10 Enterprise

The global eSIM market is seeing massive growth, with demand increasing across all sectors including consumer electronics, IoT devices, and electric cars. By 2024, it is estimated that up to 30% of laptops shipped will have an eSIM capability – about 122 million devices. This growth will be fueled by the implementation of 5G networks, which will boost enterprise adoption of eSIM computers.

“We’re excited to work closely with IDEMIA to extend the benefits of eSIM lifecycle management to our UEM platform and ultimately to our customers,” said Brian Foster, SVP of Product Management, MobileIron. “With this integration, organizations will be able to take control of eSIM-enabled Windows 10 devices with a mobile-centric, zero-trust security platform that supports productivity. Our platform allows for continuous enforcement and protection of data, both on the device and on the network, resulting in a more secure mobile work experience and increased productivity.”

The IDEMIA Smart Connect Platform, which includes a Subscription Manager (SM-DP+), Entitlement Server and Orchestration Hub for a complete eSIM lifecycle management solution, will integrate with mobile network operator (MNO) systems and bring control of eSIM profiles and their subscription plans within MobileIron’s UEM platform. This includes browsing and selecting subscriptions, profile provisioning and activation on the MNO network, and assigning and re-assigning profiles to devices.

“We’re excited to make it easier for both mobile operators and enterprises to tap into the benefits of constant connectivity and improved security that eSIM technology offers,” said Emir Aboulhosn, VP of Digital Domains Connectivity and IoT Security at IDEMIA. “Our Smart Connect Platform enables the seamless provisioning and activation of eSIM profiles on operators’ networks. And our integration with MobileIron will enable IT managers to digitally set up and manage employees’ devices and connectivity.”
