Fast, Reliable Connectivity for Handheld Devices
Enterprises rolling out handhelds like rugged tablets, mobile computers, smart POS terminals are under pressure to scale fast and keep teams connected everywhere. But physical SIM logistics and fragmented carrier management create delays, hidden costs, and operational complexity.
The Simbase QR SIM removes those barriers. It leverages the GSMA SGP.22 consumer eSIM specification, the very standard most enterprise-grade handhelds already support, so you can provision connectivity instantly with a simple QR code scan.
SGP.22 defines how an eSIM profile is securely downloaded and activated on a consumer-class device. Here’s what happens under the hood:
Profile Generation: Simbase securely creates a digital eSIM profile containing the authentication credentials and network parameters your device needs to connect.
Remote Provisioning: Your IT team or field staff scans the Simbase QR code, which points the device’s eUICC (embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card) to Simbase’s Dashboard. For devices without a camera or QR scanning capability, SIMs can also be installed manually using the SM-DP+ address and activation code provided.
Profile Download & Installation: Over a secure channel (HTTPS + GSMA-specified PKI certificates), the eUICC downloads and installs the profile, no physical SIM swap, no shipping delays.
Activation & Authentication: The device uses the newly installed profile to authenticate against the selected carrier network and is online within seconds.
Because this process follows the global SGP.22 standard, it’s compatible with any eSIM-capable handheld device from major OEMs, no proprietary firmware or custom integrations required.
Enterprise-Grade Performance on a Consumer Protocol
While SGP.22 originated for consumer devices, Simbase layers enterprise mobility features on top:
Global Multi-Carrier Coverage: Connect your handheld devices to 550+ networks across 160+ countries. Built-in multi-carrier redundancy ensures low-latency, high-availability IoT connectivity, even in regions where a single carrier might struggle.
Real-Time Control in the Simbase Dashboard: Monitor, activate, and manage every eSIM profile through a single, intuitive dashboard. Gain real-time visibility of data usage and device status without juggling multiple carrier portals.
Contract-Free, Transparent Pricing: Scale on your terms with clear, contract-free plans, flat-rate or pay-as-you-go, with competitive rates and volume discounts. No hidden fees, no long-term lock-ins
Zero-Touch Deployment: Activate thousands of eSIM-enabled handheld devices by scanning a QR code or pushing profiles via mobile device management (MDM) tools. From pilot to global fleet, deployment takes minutes, not weeks.
Real Deployment Scenarios
Retail & Hospitality
Deploy thousands of eSIM-ready handheld scanners and POS terminals before peak season. Staff simply scan a QR code and are live in minutes, no waiting for SIM shipments.
Healthcare
Equip clinicians with connected tablets for patient monitoring. IT teams push eSIM profiles remotely through mobile device management (MDM) platforms, ensuring uninterrupted coverage and secure data flows.
