A new study by Juniper Research has found the global number of cellular IoT devices will increase from 3.4 billion in 2024 to 6.5 billion by 2028. However, the study predicts this 90% growth in connections will require the deployment of new services enabling the efficient automation of IoT device management and security.

With that, we come to the end of this riveting exploration into the evolution of the SIM card. From the format-one SIM cards that resembled credit cards, to the embedded and integrated SIM cards of our future, we have come a long way from the days when the whole device had to fit into your

Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) stands as a transformative development in telecommunications, reshaping how devices connect to and interact with mobile networks. This technology builds upon the advancements of traditional SIM, eSIM and eUICC technologies, offering an innovative approach to managing mobile network subscriptions. RSP enables users and devices to connect to any network provider remotely,

With the continuous race for slimmer and more sophisticated smartphones, in the early 2010s Apple unveiled the Nano-SIM or 4FF (Fourth Form Factor) SIM card. Smaller than ever, the Nano-SIM was the most futuristically compact SIM card at the time. The Nano-SIM (4FF) was developed to meet industry demands for even more compact designs without

Continuing evolution and miniaturisation of mobile devices required a reduction in SIM card sizes, which were later replaced by the Micro-SIM or 3FF (Third Form Factor) SIM card at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The micro-SIM was introduced with the smartphone revolution as enhanced and more powerful mobile devices were

The telecommunications industry will never be the same again. SIM cards celebrate 20 years of the mobile revolution with the true story of the 1FF First-Generation SIM. From its very precise origins to its odds-defying characteristics, the 1FF SIM rightly warrants its designation as ‘The Mother of All SIMs’.

Buried beneath a buzzing smartphone, sim cards are still keeping us connected – and safe In the turbulent world of telecoms, there is still one thing that’s stood the test of time – the sim card. While the most common components of a phone have undergone radical transformations ever since their humble beginnings, the accelerating

SparkFun Electronics releases the ESP32-C6 Thing Plus, a  wireless development board set to improve your projects. For over eight years SparkFun has been designing around Espressif technologies and the release of the ESP32-C6 signals the completion of SparkFun’s first roadmap for development boards using ESP-based modules.

Tele2 IoT and Drifter World, a company that uses AI to optimise the use of parking spaces and electric vehicle charging stations, are collaborating to connect drivers with spaces and charging points. Tele2 is providing a cellular IoT connectivity solution that maximises uptime and gives the company full control over its fleet of devices. Drifter’s

Ooredoo has rolled out Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology to power various IoT-enabled applications that can result in energy savings and supply chain management optimisation. IoT is an umbrella term for devices connected to and communicating with the Internet and each other, merging the digital and physical worlds.

As the use of IoT continues to expand, businesses are leaving a larger digital footprint than ever. This interconnectedness brings about new use cases, innovations, efficiencies and convenience, but it also presents a unique set of Domain Name System (DNS) security challenges.

TEAL, the first US-based eSIM platform to be certified by the GSMA, is partnering with Kigen to make available a version of the Kigen eSIM operating system (OS) with SGP.32-ready features, preloaded with TEAL’s in-house SGP.32 cloud platforms (eIM, SM-DS). The partnership supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and machine-to-machine (M2M) customers that will soon transition

Eurotech has introduced Everyware GreenEdge, a software formula designed to address typical challenges that occur during the onboarding and management of edge Internet of Things (IoT) devices at scale. These challenges include time-consuming errors, security vulnerabilities, inconsistent data, and ultimately, unmanageable IoT devices with insecure credentials.

Energous and Identiv have partnered to bring real-time asset tracking to supply chain and logistics applications. The collaboration aims to wirelessly power Identiv’s ID-Pixels tags with Energous PowerBridge technology, enabling accurate and reliable sensor measurements that can be used throughout the supply chain, including in cold chain logistics.

Worldsensing has launched its newest wireless sensor, The Vibration Meter, which measures vibrations in long-term, continuous vibration monitoring projects. The product uses a tri-axial MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) accelerometer with a longer battery life, wider communications range, and more competitive price point than existing vibration-related technologies on the market while complying with key regulatory standards.

Sensry and LEGIC Identsystems have collaborated to develop the NextGenXDK multi-sensor device. The formula enables quick implementation for various IoT applications that demand secure and managed sensor access, along with end-to-end data security.
