The eSIM revolution is a truly transformative one, but it isn’t new. It’s been gathering steam for years as more and more device manufacturers, Network Operators and consumers have been turning on to the huge opportunities these tiny chips offer.
Summarize this article with AI
The iPhone 15 Pro as Apple’s first ever eSIM-only handset marked a big leap forward, with other device manufacturers following suit and end-users discover the benefits of doing away with physical SIMs altogether.
MNO's realizing potential
But while many Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) made moves to adopt eSIM, they were hampered by tools that don’t exploit its full potential and limited them from accessing benefits or cost-savings that should have been within easier reach.
Yes, eSIM offers a genuine step-change in the future of mobile connectivity and unlocks a new realm of faster, safer and more flexible communication, along with a new world of capabilities and benefits for network providers. But, despite the benefits, all too many MNOs have discovered that their existing eSIMs fall short of that potential, meaning that too many of those crucial benefits remain just beyond reach.
Ownership & control
Despite the promises, too many network providers still do not have complete ownership or control of their profiles, are still forced to bulk order in advance and endure lengthy lead times and exorbitant costs to manage it all.
Similarly, as eSIM continues to rocket in popularity, some larger MNOs have come to realize that due to the increase in volume of profiles, they can no longer rely on a single supplier to do it all. They need greater digitization and digital transformation of processes that would otherwise be highly manual and time and labour-intensive.
They are increasingly coming to demand the ability to deploy eSIM with a supplier that can truly bring digital experiences to life for their customers.
Cost saving services
The ideal supplier allows MNOs to save time and money and enable faster-than-ever onboarding with real time insights and provisioning for complete control and oversight of all their profiles. It provides intuitive UI to help get to market fast, APIs that allow real-time management of profiles via a dedicated portal that’s completely independent of third-party interfaces, and extended APIs that offer complete control of profile content and streamline the processes for provisioning and ordering.
Such a supplier even enables MNOs to digitally activate eSIMs in bulk, providing a single QR code for downloading multiple profiles simultaneously and allowing MNOs to get truly creative, placing QR codes in printed advertising or on signage in key locations to deliver eSIM downloads quickly, effortlessly and digitally.
It seems that in the current transformative stage of the eSIM story, any supplier that is not offering these features is one that's letting Network Operators (and therefore their customers) down by failing to offer the full potential of eSIM.
MNOs need something better in order to stay competitive in this rapidly expanding market and thankfully, not all suppliers are the same.
