How to Deploy IoT Devices with an Intelligent Connectivity Solution
Learn how intelligent eSIM connectivity can simplify global IoT deployments, reduce network lock-in, adapt to new technologies, and enable on-demand network switching.
What Is an Intelligent Connectivity Solution?
An intelligent connectivity solution gives IoT device operators more control over how and where devices connect throughout their lifespan. Unlike basic eSIM platforms that focus primarily on activation, an intelligent platform can help manage networks, device types, technologies, and deployments over the long term.
Traditional SIM vs. eSIM
Traditional SIM cards are static and generally require physical intervention to change connectivity. eSIM technology is remotely programmable, allowing subscriber profiles and network connectivity to be managed without replacing the physical SIM.
Automate Global IoT Deployments
Global deployments often require multiple carrier agreements, SIMs, device SKUs, and management platforms. An intelligent eSIM solution can simplify this by allowing devices to connect to appropriate networks across different countries through a single platform.
Prepare for Network Sunsets
As older technologies such as 2G and 3G are retired, devices tied to a single network can require costly SIM or hardware replacements. Intelligent eSIM connectivity gives operators more flexibility to move devices onto newer networks remotely.
Adapt to New Network Technologies
Connectivity requirements change over time. With an intelligent eSIM platform, devices can be deployed on one network technology today and transition to newer options, such as 5G, as they become available.
Switch Networks On Demand
Network signal strength alone does not always guarantee good performance. Dynamic network switching allows device operators to move devices to another available network when performance, coverage, or outages make another option more suitable.
