OVERVIEW

COMPLICATION
QUESTION
ANSWER
New innovative cellular technologies like LTE for IoT and eSIM are becoming
available and will unlock new product applications and huge amounts of business
value within IoT alone.
The cellular ecosystem is incredibly fragmented, and building vertically integrated
products and customer solutions with a guaranteed 5-10 year lifespan is incredibly
challenging.
How can product creators build solutions that bring the value of these
technological breakthroughs to their customers without exposing themselves to
excessive development risk?
1. Discount the hype. New technologies often carry bold claims supported by unrealistic assumptions
and use cases. Go hands-on with new tech to understand the value it can provide your customers.
2. Leverage future-compatible platforms and ecosystems. Work with proven technology integrators
who can provide a hardware and software-compatible path to future technologies.
3. Don’t wait for the technology of tomorrow. Build your product with technology that works for your
customers today.

equipment connectivity and allow manufacturers to offer new
products in new market segments.

ESIM WILL ENABLE NEW CONSUMER BUSINESS MODELS
By adopting e-SIM technology, mobile network operators…would
also have the ability to provide convergent offers with multiple
devices (for instance, the smart car and smart watch) under a
single contract with the consumer more conveniently than they
would using physical SIM cards.

The ease of use and ease of operator switching has the potential
to weaken the network operator’s position in the mobile value
chain, as customers may demand more freedom from contractual
lock-ins, as well as more dynamic contractual propositions.
