Global SecurityTech company Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) has launched a new cloud-based embedded SIM (eSIM) solution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This new collaboration combines digital security from G+D with cloud agility and scale from AWS, enabling customers to confidently deploy and manage devices with eSIM connectivity worldwide.
Under this new collaboration, G+D will transition eSIM workloads to the AWS cloud environment. This newly launched solution combines G+D’s focus on GSMA compliance and foundational security with AWS’ secure, high availability cloud infrastructure to deliver global provisioning and low-latency connectivity solutions across multiple geographies.
Commenting on the partnership, chief executive officer, G+D Mobile Security, said, “As the pioneers in SIM and eSIM, and the undisputed leader in security for more than 170 years, we are delighted to be achieving another industry first today through our collaboration with AWS. By bringing eSIM to the cloud and increasing agility and scalability, we will accelerate eSIM adoption in both consumer and IoT applications, providing a secure, future-proof and cost-effective solution for our customers. Together with AWS’s innovative solutions, customers benefit from an unparalleled offering that adapts quickly to their evolving requirements.”
The growth of eSIM-only devices across global telecommunications markets during the last year has driven a significant shift towards industry adoption of eSIM for both consumer and internet of thing (IoT) applications. Telecommunications operators increasingly need faster onboarding and elastic scaling of eSIM deployment, especially during peak demand periods. Ensuring end-to-end security is also critical for the rollout of SGP.32 (IoT eSIM) and SGP.22 (consumer eSIM) compatible devices.
Meanwhile, vice president, global technology planning, AT&T, said, “We have been successfully using G+D eSIM services for more than a decade. eSIM has passed the tipping point to become the primary means of connecting to our network. The means to distribute services across multiple GSMA certified cloud locations represents a significant opportunity for us to expand our offering globally across a broad range of verticals. The fact that we will also be able to source now G+D’s market leading technology directly from the AWS marketplace means a breakthrough in terms of time to market on a global scale.”
In addition, vice president, telecommunications at AWS, said, “G+D’s launch of this global IoT connectivity solution demonstrates how AWS’s secure, scalable infrastructure is enabling innovation in the telecommunications industry. G+D’s reputation as a global leader in advanced security solutions, combined with AWS’s scalable cloud capabilities, creates a powerful foundation for expanding eSIM connectivity across consumer and IoT applications. This collaboration reflects the growing momentum we’re seeing in the industry towards cloud-native approaches to IoT connectivity.”
This new agreement expands the collaboration between G+D and AWS. G+D is already deploying its SGP.32 eSIM technology for Amazon’s Eero Signal device, marking one of the first commercial deployments of the technology. G+D will also offer its solutions via the AWS Marketplace, ensuring widespread accessibility to the technology for mobile carriers, enterprises, and IoT service providers.
