Rise of the eSIM

RiPSIM eSIM

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. As with many electronic media that have come and gone in the last 30 years, the SIM is on a path to obsolescence and it will be fully replaced by a digital SIM, called an eSIM. 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.
