Physical space inside electronic devices is valuable, so manufacturers are looking for new ways to implement certain functions more efficiently.
THE new standard iSIM (embedded SIM) It is based on the integration of SIM technology into the main chipset of the device, without the need for a separate chip to process data like eSIM.
iSIM reduces the space needed to implement SIM services, offering all the benefits of eSIM, such as remote SIM provisioning by operators.
Vodafone, Qualcomm and Thales demonstrate the iSIM standard
Vodafone, Qualcomm and the French multinational Thales carried out tests with a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 test on the Vodafone network.
The new standard will allow devices such as wearables, laptops, tablets, virtual reality headsets and IoT devices to benefit from active data connections without wasting space.
At the moment, there is no deadline for the appearance of the first iSIM devices on the market.
