It also makes it easier to switch to a local network when traveling, without having to physically insert a local SIM card.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You do not need to perform a physical sim swap.<br \/>\n<\/strong>This avoids the need to incur high costs for installed devices, making logistics management and global expansion more streamlined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Takes up less space in the device<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThis allows for additional space to be used for other components within the device.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximize return on IoT investment.<\/strong>By reducing costs and improving operational and logistical efficiencies, organizations can minimize the total cost of connected devices and maximize the return on IoT investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"img-holder\">\n            <img src='https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits.jpg' srcset='https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits-600x350.jpg 600w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits-680x397.jpg 680w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits-454x265.jpg 454w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/esim-benefits-340x199.jpg 340w' sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" loading='lazy' width='1024' height='598' alt='' >        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- acf\/basic-text-media -->\n\n<div class=\"content100 basic-text-media100 bg-gray full-width\">\n    <div class=\"content basic-text-media media-left \">\n\n        <div class=\"txt-holder wysiwyg \">\n            <h3><strong>Consumer eSIM vs. IoT eSIM<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many people know the consumer sim card from their cell phones. Again, a movement from regular sim to eSIM is underway. However, consumer eSIMs and IoT eSIMs are quite different. In the consumer model, the end user chooses and initiates a request for the desired carrier profile, which ensures that the carrier profile is placed on the device. IoT devices are managed differently. It is essential that enterprises have a way to remotely manage and assign the desired carrier profile.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"img-holder\">\n            <img src='https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/coverage.png' srcset='https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/coverage.png 605w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/coverage-600x320.png 600w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/coverage-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/coverage-454x242.png 454w, https:\/\/capestone.teamcreative.cloud\/media\/2021\/08\/coverage-340x182.png 340w' sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" loading='lazy' width='605' height='323' alt='Worldwide Coverage esim' >        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- acf\/basic-text-media -->\n\n<div class=\"content100 basic-text-media100 bg-gray match-content\">\n    <div class=\"content basic-text-media media-right \">\n\n        <div class=\"txt-holder wysiwyg \">\n            <h3><strong>New mobile technologies <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>eSIM also opens new avenues for different applications of mobile technology.
