Digi-Key and Truphone to host "eSIM Technology for IoT" webinar

Digi-Key Electronics, which currently offers the world’s largest selection of electronic components in stock for immediate shipment, has collaborated with Truphone, a provider of global connectivity, to host a free virtual webinar on Wednesday, December 8, at 11 a.m. CST.

The companies will showcase the power of eSIM technology and how it helps IoT devices connect quicker and more efficiently.

An eSIM is not simply a new SIM, it’s an entirely new way to connect. Developed by the GSMA and already widely accepted by the telecommunications market, eSIM is the new standard in SIM card technology. A rewritable chip built directly onto the device, the eSIM brings wide-ranging benefits to consumers, enterprises, and IoT solutions.

The webinar will cover the importance of cellular connectivity for IoT, including:

Cellular markets, coverage, and interoperability
The power of eSIM as “the next big thing”
Benefits of eSIM for device makers
How to get to market fast – provision and deploy new devices

“By collaborating in partnerships across the ecosystem, the barriers to large-scale international IoT adoption can be broken down, making it simpler for customers to harness the power of eSIM,” said Steve Alder, chief business development officer at Truphone. “Together, Truphone and Digi-Key are focused on delivering a comprehensive, flexible, end-to-end solution for businesses of all sizes and ensuring that eSIM technology is being used to its full benefit.”

“Digi-Key is proud to be a global distribution leader in offering innovative new connectivity solutions,” said Robbie Paul, director, IoT business development at Digi-Key. “Truphone’s eSIM has the power to revolutionize cellular connectivity for IoT devices around the world, and we are excited to bring that to light.”
