With eSIM, there is no need to physically send a SIM card to a customer; it’s natively on the device, so simply needs to be programmed when its activated.

This has significant benefits – for SIM users, who don’t need to worry about inserting physical cards into devices, as well as to the suppliers and mobile connectivity providers.

While eSIM is not expected to pick up this slack until 2023/24, it’s clear that eSIM will have a significant, long-term impact on the industry. So, what does this mean for M2M and IoT applications – many of which today depend on the connectivity enabled by SIMs?

For multi-site operations, connectivity isn't optional, it's revenue. When a primary fixed line fails, POS systems go dark, payments stop, and every minute costs money. Telecom26's cellular backup activates instantly on connection loss and steps back automatically when the line recovers. No IT intervention. No downtime. 

Maintaining reliable and secure connectivity for critical offshore and nearshore infrastructure is often a challenge. Remote assets require local wireless connectivity from private or semi-private networks, which can require highly specific customisation.

Maritime mobile connectivity is essential to ensure assets are always connected and remain secure.

Telecom26 supports a complete range of offshore connectivity networks – enabled by our SIMs / eSIMs and globally distributed mobile core.

In this briefing paper, we review key applications driving adoption of private networks in the offshore sector, and show how Telecom26 provides solutions to support your offshore business.

Global supply chains are essential to ensuring the smooth flow of trade and enabling access to key goods – across all sectors. They have become increasingly complex in recent years, driven by globalisation and the adoption of ‘just in time’ manufacturing techniques, among other factors..

In this briefing paper we explore the key domains in the supply chain, as well as common issues that need to be resolved to provide the connectivity demanded by the global supply chain and the customers that depend on it…

The emerging world of IoT has created significant opportunities in numerous sectors – and is set to give a boost to global development projects.

IoT technologies and capabilities will enable a huge range of applications to help NGOs and not-for-profit agencies in delivering new services. Despite the diversity in use cases, there’s one common factor that’s crucial for the successful delivery of new services, to the widest audience and with the greatest global reach: wireless cellular connectivity.

IoT has already begin to transform healthcare – and is set to unlock a flood of innovations and new modes of service delivery. It’s safe to say that remote wireless connectivity, typically via cellular mobile, will be integral - indispensable, even - to healthcare of the future. While numerous applications have already emerged, many others are taking shape – with far more yet to be conceived.

Once you’ve deployed your first trial or proof-of-concept solution, you need to know that you can scale with confidence. It’s one thing managing one or ten remote devices, but if you have thousands, you need to know that you can manage them effectively – and obtain the insights you need to run your business efficiently.

In this guide, we’ll introduce you to T26 IoT Console, our IoT device management platform and show you how the console allows you to take ACTION to manage your IoT devices…

Many healthcare programmes involve the collection of essential test data from the field. This data needs to be analysed as quickly as possible, so that results can be obtained, and the relevant actions taken to inform subjects and track the spread of any disease or condition. The importance of such programmes has been underlined in recent times by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
