Since its introduction, the SIM card has become one of the world’s most widely recognized security tokens, allowing mobile subscribers to securely authenticate onto the network of their wireless service provider.

This whitepaper provides a brief overview of the evolution of the SIM card, the processes underlying its production and introduces the reader to eSIM technology, its benefits and how wireless service providers and enterprise network operators can transform their business operations through RiPSIM’s Software Suite.
