1oT Terminal: New Leader in eSIM Management
Rameez Sultan
1oT launched its self-service connectivity management platform ‘1oT Terminal’ 2 years ago at the Mobile World Congress 2017. Since then we have gained more than 300k active subscriptions and completed multiple operator integrations.
During the Mobile World Congress 2019, we came up with something new again and introduced our very own eSIM. In earlier blog posts we have explained what eSIM is and how does it work; but, eSIM is not just a piece of hardware that enables to swap mobile carrier services “over-the-air” without touching the physical SIM card itself. To enjoy its full potential, you should be able to also manage the eSIM.
The past year we have extended 1oT Terminal’s functionalities to become a first of its kind eSIM management platform. In addition to having complete control of the SIM cards, 1oT Terminal allows managing eSIMs, including switching the eSIM on and off, setting data limits, or viewing real-time data sessions. We are continually evolving 1oT Terminal and the list of available add-on services is growing to cater the fast-paced IoT growth. All this is vitally important to global IoT service providers who are operating hundreds to hundreds of thousands of eSIM cards worldwide, because what is the point of eSIM if you cannot manage them easily with a click of a button and on a self-service basis?
1oT Terminal is integrated with our partner’s Remote SIM provisioning platform. Meaning that 1oT Terminal can offer all the GSMA* standard eSIM operations such as:
- Download a profile
- Enable/Disable a profile
- Delete a profile
- Update POL rules
- Update eUICC information
One key 1oT Terminal function will allow the user to view available profiles for their eSIM. The logic behind the available profile is based on the best service and pricing. 1oT Terminal will prompt the user about the available profiles based on the location of the device. More so, 1oT will keep on adding to our portfolio of pre-negotiated carriers deals to provide local and the best roaming profiles on behalf of the user. This removes the complexity of negotiating multi operators deals for the customer, making sure our clients will never get locked into expensive & long-lasting contracts.
* GSMA stands for Global System for Mobile Communications Association. It’s a trade body that represents the interests of mobile network operators worldwide.
