iSIM, or integrated SIM, is an integrated SIM card placed directly on a device’s chipset. This type of SIM card provides the same functionality as a traditional SIM card, but without the physical component. It makes devices smaller and more cost-effective in production. Integrated SIM (iSIM) is an advanced technology that integrates the functionality of a traditional SIM card into a device’s processor. Unlike a physical SIM card or even an embedded SIM (eSIM), the iSIM is baked directly into the device’s chipset during the manufacturing process. This results in a permanent presence within the device, making it ideal for applications where small size and an integrated solution are desired.
iSIM technology offers several advantages that make it particularly attractive for modern IoT applications:
