COPENHAGEN, Denmark, November 11, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Getting an Internet of Things (IoT) task disconnected the crushed has historically looked thing similar this: you person your IoT device, you take a supplier and a information plan, the supplier oregon bearer sends you a SIM card, and you past insert your SIM into your instrumentality to link to your provider. However, if you privation to power to a antithetic provider, you’ll request to physically region the SIM paper from each instrumentality and repetition the aforesaid process with the caller provider. For galore IoT projects, peculiarly those successful distant oregon isolated locations, this is simply a friction-filled process, often resulting successful vendor lock-in, hindering the uptake and scaling of projects.
So-called "eSIMs" person grown successful popularity successful caller years to tackle this friction. Enabled by eUICC (Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card) standards, users tin present load caller bearer profiles digitally, implicit the air, eliminating the request to physically swap SIM cards. While this solution offers much flexibility than regular SIMs, the commercialized agreements tin beryllium arsenic binding done bootstrapped web profiles, and hardware inactive needs to beryllium installed into each device.
The Onomondo SoftSIM offers a caller frictionless pathway. The SIM is downloaded from the unreality onto chipsets already recovered successful devices which brings IoT clip to deployment down to virtually zero. The Onomondo relation agnostic approach, which gives customers the quality to take their web and precisely the benignant of work they request depending connected the merchandise they are tracking, means that customers don’t endure from immoderate hidden lock-ins oregon unnecessary costs. Making the SIM downloadable besides means that customers lone commencement paying to way their devices erstwhile they request to, alternatively than paying upfront for a SIM paper and associated costs successful transportation to its installation. For users, this means lowering the measure of materials for companies rolling retired IoT by betwixt 50-90% depending connected the standard of the fleet.
Onomondo has redesigned existing IoT connectivity architecture done integrating much than 700 operators astatine the Radio Access Network (RAN) level crossed much than 180 countries, arsenic good arsenic layering its ain API-based IoT level connected top. With the caller SoftSIM, arsenic soon arsenic the SIM is downloaded, assets tin seamlessly determination crossed nationalist borders without the inherent complexity of roaming. Onomondo customers tin besides summation granular, real-time penetration into the show of each connected device, allowing them to pat into their planetary grid and troubleshoot IoT devices from anywhere. Data is transferred straight crossed the Onomondo virtual web to 1 of the firm’s unreality partners (Microsoft Azure, AWS, IBM Watson and more), truthful enterprises tin easy recognize what is going connected betwixt devices and the network, done to the halfway network, and connected to the IoT unreality from a azygous interface.
Michael Karlsen, Co-Founder & CEO, and Henrik Aagaard, Co-Founder & CTO astatine Onomondo commented: "The determination to a plug and play SIM paper is the catalyst that IoT has needed to beryllium deployed astatine standard and to commencement to scope its afloat potential. In presumption of significance, we spot the improvement of a downloadable SoftSIM arsenic comparable to the interaction that the Cloud had connected the internet. By eliminating the request for a analyzable carnal connection, it removes an important friction constituent arsenic good arsenic opening the doorway to a wide spectrum of radical to bring existent innovation and creativity to IoT arsenic the lawsuit needs develop. The SoftSIM volition besides marque an important publication to improving IoT sustainability, eradicating the request for billions of chips a twelvemonth to beryllium manufactured, transported and installed."
Based connected a Trusted Connectivity Alliance report, successful 2021 SIM paper accumulation resulted successful 560,000 tons of CO₂ emissions and 18,000 tons of plastic. SIM accumulation is expected to turn rapidly arsenic connected IoT devices are predicted to scope 27 cardinal by 2025. SoftSIM has the imaginable to trim CO₂ emissions, portion virtually eliminating the integrative and polymer discarded resulting from SIM paper production. Innovations similar these are important steps for the ICT manufacture to conscionable its extremity of reducing greenhouse state emissions by 45% betwixt 2020 and 2030.
Earlier this twelvemonth Onomondo announced a caller $21m maturation concern led by Verdane, a starring maturation equity concern steadfast that specialises successful scaling integer consumer, software, and sustainable nine businesses. Onomondo volition leverage the caller funds to thrust maturation and conscionable its planned projection of tripling its ARR successful 2022 and 2023. The institution besides plans to standard its squad from 50 to 100 implicit the adjacent year, helping to grow its lawsuit base, which presently includes the likes of Bosch, Carlsberg, and Maersk.
