At Simbase, our mission has always been to empower this evolution by offering solutions that not only meet the current demands of IoT but also pave the way for future advancements. It is with great excitement that we introduce OpenSwitch, our latest innovation designed to future-proof IoT connectivity.

OpenSwitch is a feature for the Enterprise that harnesses the power of eUICC technology to enable seamless switching to new Mobile Network Operator (MNO) partners. Avoiding lock-in and allowing to switch your SIMs without physically changing them. OpenSwitch is a strategic move towards a future where IoT devices can connect, communicate, and operate with unparalleled efficiency across the globe.

How OpenSwitch Works

OpenSwitch operates on the principles of Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP), a technology that allows for the remote management and provisioning of SIM profiles over the air. This process eliminates the need for physical SIM card swaps, offering a level of flexibility and ease of integration that is essential for scaling IoT operations. Here's a glimpse into how OpenSwitch transforms the connectivity experience:

Step 1: Establishing a New RSP Connection

The journey with OpenSwitch begins when a customer decides to leverage the benefits of a new MNO partnership. Establishing a new RSP connection is the first step, requiring close collaboration between Simbase, the customer, and the new MNO partner. This collaborative approach ensures that the integration process is smooth and efficient, laying the groundwork for a successful profile switch.

Step 2: Integration with the New MNO Partner

The essence of OpenSwitch lies in its ability to integrate with different MNO partners. Once the RSP connection is established, our team works with the new MNO partner to integrate their services into our platform. This step is crucial for enabling the batch download and activation of new SIM profiles, ensuring that our customers have access to the best possible network options.

Step 3: Batch Download and Enablement of SIM Profiles

With the integration complete, the next step is the batch download and activation of new SIM profiles. OpenSwitch makes this process effortless, allowing for multiple devices to be updated simultaneously. This capability not only saves time but also significantly reduces the operational complexities associated with managing a large fleet of IoT devices.

The OpenSwitch Advantage

OpenSwitch represents a paradigm shift in how IoT connectivity is managed and delivered. By enabling easy switching between MNO partners, OpenSwitch offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing businesses to optimize their connectivity based on geographic coverage, cost, or service quality. Moreover, the security and efficiency of RSP technology ensure that these switches can be made without compromising on data integrity or operational continuity.

Looking Ahead

As we launch OpenSwitch, we are not just introducing a new feature; we are inviting our customers to join us on a journey towards a more connected and efficient future. A future where IoT connectivity is no longer hindered by rigid contracts, high costs, or geographical limitations. OpenSwitch is our commitment to doing IoT connectivity the Right way.
