eSIM Has Become the Control Plane for the Network Edge
Unified provisioning, orchestration, and visibility across complex IoT ecosystems.
eSIM is no longer just about securely provisioning connectivity, it has evolved into the operational and security control plane for the network edge.
As enterprises and OEMs scale their IoT fleets, they face the “operational reality” of fragmentation across different carriers and legacy tools. The traditional methods of managing SIMs are no longer sustainable in a landscape were visibility and automated control are necessities, now just efficiencies.
This collaboration allows organizations to move from reactive connectivity management to automated, policy- driven operations. It ensures that security is embedded by design across the entire lifecycle, providing the resilience and centralized control necessary for mission-critical deployments at a global scale.
Thales and Simetric are addressing this challenge directly. By integrating Thales’ trusted GMA SGP.32- compliant provisioning and Advanced SIM Orchestration (eSO) into Simetric’s “Single Pane of Glass” platform, this partnership delivers the end-to-end visibility the industry has been waiting for. It bridges the gap between carriers and enterprise systems, enabling customers to finally gain control over their data and devices across heterogeneous environments.
The Challenges Enterprises Face with eSIM
- Managing eSIMs across multiple carrier portals and systems
- eIM providers have tailored remote SIM provisioning (RSP) platforms that must be normalized in conjunction with carrier platforms
- eIM providers have tailored remote SIM provisioning (RSP) platforms that must be normalized in conjunction with carrier platforms
- Administrator competency varies dramatically from managing SIM-enabled devices
- Security audit, compliance and governance
- Limited visibility into device state, ownership, and lifecycle history
- Operational delays caused by manual provisioning and changes
- Governance gaps as deployments grow across regions and teams
How Simetric’s Single Pane of Glass Makes eSIM Work at Scale
Simetric acts as a single pane of glass (SPoG) that unifies eIM platforms, carrier networks, and device fleets into one operational and security control layer.
Direct eIM Collaboration
eIMs work directly with SImetric to ensure their RSPs have workflow that works seamlessly across more than 300 networks so eSIM adoption is automated on the enterprise & carrier side
Carrier-Agnostic Control
Manage eSIM-enabled devices from any provider through a single visibility and workflow platform, without being locked into specific carriers, portals, or connectivity models.
Lifecycle
Automation
Standardize eSIM orchestration and provisioning, ensuring consistent processes across deployments and reducing operational friction.
Unified
Visibility
See device status, provisioning history, and lifecycle changes in one place, giving teams confidence in what is deployed and cybersecurity professionals full audit and governance capabilities.
Operational Cost Awareness
Monitor usage patterns and plan alignment to reduce surprises, while keeping cost optimization secondary to control and governance. Monitor in full conjunction with SIM enabled devices.
Onboard
Devices introduced with clear ownership and governance.
Operate
Monitor status, usage, and lifecycle changes centrally.
Change
Update profiles or assignments without physical intervention.
Retire
Decommission devices cleanly with full audit history.
