Telecom26 and Trasna Launch GSMA-Aligned eIM Platform for Scalable Global IoT Connectivity

eSIM Technology Telecom26

As global IoT deployments scale across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, maritime, and smart infrastructure, organisations are facing increasing complexity in managing connectivity across thousands and often millions of distributed devices.

To address this challenge, Telecom26 has partnered with Trasna to launch a new eSIM IoT Manager (eIM) platform, formally introduced ahead of Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona.

This collaboration combines Telecom26’s global mobile core infrastructure with Trasna’s expertise in eSIM and eUICC technology to enable secure, scalable, and remote IoT connectivity lifecycle management.

Why IoT Connectivity Management Must Evolve

Traditional SIM provisioning models were not designed for:

  • Large-scale, multi-country IoT deployments
  • Devices operating without user interfaces
  • Long lifecycle industrial assets
  • Remote or inaccessible environments

Physical SIM swaps, manual provisioning, and fragmented network management introduce operational inefficiencies and increased costs.

As IoT ecosystems expand globally, connectivity infrastructure must support:

  • Automated provisioning
  • Secure remote updates
  • Centralised visibility
  • Multi-network resilience

What Is eIM? (eSIM IoT Manager)

The Telecom26–Trasna eIM platform enables centralised remote lifecycle management of eSIM profiles across global IoT fleets.

Built in alignment with the GSMA SGP.32 IoT eSIM framework, the platform supports:

  • Secure over-the-air (OTA) provisioning
  • Remote profile downloads and updates
  • Automated lifecycle control
  • Multi-network optimisation
  • Reduced reliance on physical SIM logistics

By removing the need for physical intervention, organisations gain greater control, faster onboarding, and improved operational scalability.

Multi-Network Resilience for Global Operations

Telecom26 provides access to more than 1,100 global connectivity partners, enabling intelligent network selection and fallback capabilities.

When combined with Trasna’s eUICC expertise, organisations benefit from:

  • Improved connectivity resilience
  • Regional performance optimisation
  • Reduced roaming and operational costs
  • Enhanced business continuity

For enterprises operating in isolated or high-risk environments, remote connectivity management becomes mission-critical infrastructure.

David McCanny, VP Commercial Operations at Telecom26, explains:

“Bringing the agility of eSIM to the M2M market is a massive step forward for enterprise connectivity. Because Telecom26 serves customers in some of the most isolated places on Earth, managing devices remotely isn't just a convenience—it's a necessity. This solution ensures that even the most inaccessible devices benefit from enhanced security and seamless fallback capabilities.”

Barry O’Hanrahan, Sales Director – North Europe & North America at Trasna, adds:

“By combining Trasna’s eUICC and eSIM expertise with Telecom26’s global connectivity platform, we are helping customers reduce operational complexity, accelerate time to market, and build IoT solutions that scale internationally with confidence.”

Key Benefits of the Telecom26 eIM Platform

Organisations deploying IoT solutions can:

  • Simplify large-scale IoT device connectivity management
  • Enable secure remote provisioning and lifecycle automation
  • Align with GSMA SGP.32 IoT eSIM standards
  • Reduce logistics overhead linked to physical SIM handling
  • Strengthen global multi-network connectivity resilience

Showcasing at Mobile World Congress 2026
