About
Analysts estimate that 70% of all wireless devices will soon be “eSIM-only/first”, marking an inflection point for the IoT sector. eSIMs eliminate the need for manual SIM-swapping, country-specific SKUs, and carrier-specific provisioning, all while providing greatly enhanced security. SGP.32 sets the basic spec, SGP.41 will allow for consumer platform switching, and convergence for eSIM, iSIM, and Cloud SIM is on the way!
