The Opportunities Enabled by eSIMs

One Technology. Multiple Ways to Strengthen Your IoT Deployment.

Operational requirements and network conditions can change throughout an IoT deployment lifecycle of 3, 5 or even 10 years. As eSIMs have evolved from a simple embedded version of a carrier's plastic SIMs, the technology has turned connectivity from a fixed hardware decision during device manufacturing into a flexible, remotely managed capability.

This gives IoT product teams greater control over how devices connect across networks, regions, and stages of their lifecycle.

Click on each button below to learn how new eSIMs like Zipit's can expand coverage, enable network resilience, and simplify ongoing IoT operations.

Give devices access to diverse connectivity options across locations and deployment environments. With multiple certified carrier profiles, you can align connectivity with the network that best serves each deployment, including native carrier access where available.

Reduce dependence on a single carrier connection. With alternative profiles already available, Zipit eSIMs support failover to a fallback profile, helping devices recover from carrier network outages and get back online without manual intervention.

Use one SIM across supported carriers instead of stocking and managing separate carrier-specific SIM variants for different product stock-keeping units (SKUs). Simplify sourcing, inventory management, and deployment logistics— especially when you do not know a device's final destination during production.

Configure and manage carrier profiles remotely instead of dispatching technicians to physically replace SIM cards. This reduction in truck rolls and service costs can make a big difference for distributed, difficult-to-reach, and business-critical deployments.

Zipit eSIM Integrated

A Purpose-Built eSIM for a Multi-Carrier, Multi-Network World

Zipit eSIM Integrated is an eUICC with four certified, pre-loaded profiles from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile managed by an eIM and IoT Profile Assistant embedded directly in the SIM (IPAe), as defined in the most recent SGP.32 eSIM standards.

This allows OEMs, enterprises and IoT solution developers to get the benefits of connecting to multiple carrier networks and remotely changing the active profiles, without the complexity of stocking multiple SIM types or physically swapping out carrier SIMs.

It's a single SIM that adapts to your needs.

Native Access to All Three Major U.S. Carriers

Certified, on-net connectivity profiles from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile provide native U.S. network access without limiting the deployment to a single carrier relationship or forcing you to stock and manage different carrier-specific SIMs. As an authorized MVNO of all three carriers, Zipit can offer plan sizes from the KBs up to Unlimited plans.

Automatic Failover Built Into the SIM

Automatic Failover provides an alternative connectivity path when the primary carrier is unavailable. Because the switching capability is handled within the SIM solution, product teams do not have to design carrier-switching logic into device firmware.

Connectivity Without Technology Tradeoffs

Support for cellular technologies from Cat-M1 through 5G helps product teams select connectivity based on device requirements and lifecycle goals.

On-net access (also called "native" or "localized" connectivity) ensures customers' devices can access the different plans or features they need—from very high data usage FWA or Unlimited plans to eDRX functionality to maximize battery life, to VoLTE and SMS for IoT devices like wearables or security call boxes. These capabilities are often unavailable or uneconomical when sourced through standard roaming agreements.

Centralized Device Management

Zipit’s unified connectivity management platform gives teams a common operational layer for managing profiles, connectivity policies, plan options and more across otherwise separate carrier environments. Carrier backend systems are managed through a single pane of glass, simplifying connectivity orchestration and lifecycle control across deployments.

FAQs about Zipit eSIMs

Get answers to common questions about Zipit eSIM Integrated.

No. To use Zipit eSIM Integrated, all of the logic for profile management and carrier management is available on the SIM and from the Zipit connectivity management platform.

For advanced device OEMs and solution developers that build their own device firmware and want even more advanced, granular control over carrier management, Zipit has made enhancements to its platform to support this. Contact us for details.

Zipit eSIM Integrated uses native carrier profiles from AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, and therefore requires that your devices have undergone carrier certification. We do not require additional certifications beyond those of the carriers.

To learn more about the process of carrier certification, visit our blog post on the topic.

Roaming SIMs leverage a given carrier's roaming agreements to hop onto other carriers' networks in different geographies where the primary carrier doesn't have a physical infrastructure presence.

On-net refers to in-region or a local carrier's network. A local or "on-net" SIM is one that is authorized to connect to a carrier's network without the need for roaming agreements. Many carriers around the world put restrictions on some roaming SIMs to prevent unintended and unauthorized use.

As a multi-carrier provider with many direct carrier relationships, Zipit can be a single source for customers looking for authorized roaming SIMs as well as local SIMs for their IoT and FWA applications. Read more here.

AT&T has two profiles. Verizon and T-Mobile have one each.

All four profiles have been pre-loaded in order to support every feature and service Zipit and these carriers offer within a single eSIM. That covers networks from Cat-M1 to 5G, and rate plans from 250KB all the way up to Business Internet/Fixed Wireless and Unlimited plans. It also includes VoLTE and SMS support for IoT applications, which many eSIMs don't offer.

The objective was to create a single eSIM that could meet the broadest range of customer needs across many different device types and data-usage patterns.
