What OEMs Really Think About eSIM and iSIM

community.arm.com, Aug. 13, 2019 – 

It's been nearly six years since GSMA released the first eSIM specification, and over a year since our announcement of iSIM. It's vital that ecosystem perceptions on adopting these technologies are fully understood. That's why we asked representatives from a range of different sectors across the entire IoT ecosystem about their views on eSIM and iSIM. In this blog, I look at the feedback provided by the OEMs. 

OEMs on eSIM: Positive but Cautious

When compared with responses from other groups, OEMs have the least awareness of eSIM:

A large proportion of these 'little or no awareness' responses come from medium and smaller-sized OEMs, who may not have encountered many eSIM deployments in their target markets. A lot of eSIM awareness is driven by connected devices (such as smartwatches, laptops, smartphones), and IoT connectivity in the automotive sectors. These applications are mainly implemented by larger OEMs. Clearly, more work is needed in raising awareness of the range of use cases, benefits and case studies to instil market confidence and accelerate wider adoption of eSIM by all OEMs. 

Only 57%* of OEMs agree that eSIM will overtake traditional SIM cards as the preferred SIM technology. This is relatively low compared to an average of 80% observed across other sectors.
