Can eSIM be used in IoT (Internet of Things) devices?
The short answer is Yes. Traditional, physical SIM cards have been used to enable connectivity in devices, but they come with limitations. Since they require physical SIM card swapping, it poses a challenge when it comes to remotely connecting and managing IoT devices. eSIMs are built directly into the device, eliminating the need for physical swapping and allowing for remote control of network connectivity. This not only simplifies the deployment and management of IoT devices but also enables you to connect worldwide. With an eSIM, IoT devices can effortlessly switch between networks to ensure uninterrupted connectivity, regardless of where you are at the moment.
eSIM plays a crucial role in enhancing the security of IoT devices. A traditional SIM card can be removed, tampered with or cloned, making them vulnerable to hacking and unauthorized access. eSIM has built-in security features and is resistant to physical tampering, therefore making it more secure than a SIM card.
