The topic of embedded SIM (eSIM) has been a prominent one in the Internet of Things (IoT) for the last 5 years, promising a fundamental change in how cellular-based connectivity is delivered. This report provides a background on eSIM, looking at the changing form factors of physical devices, the resultant need for remote SIM provisioning (RSP) and how that works, and the commercial implications.
