The growing popularity of eSIMs is enhancing the development of nearly all aspects of IoT applications in vehicles, and across consumer, fleet, logistics, insurance, and shared usage. The easy programmability, high-value, small footprint, and durability make it an ideal solution to be the hub of connectivity in the cars of the future. eSIMs support automaker’s digital transformation efforts and MNO’s desire to generate new revenue channels. In 2021, eSIM vehicle connectivity is poised to propel the market further due to:
- Security – With greater connectivity comes greater risk of hackers taking control of an auto or in a worst-case scenario, a “fleet-wide” attack. eSIM offers superior remote security, including authentication, to help prevent attacks on vehicles and services. Encryption provides another layer of security.
- Universality – eSIMs offer a global standard that is consistent across countries, OEMs, and MNOs. The universality of eSIMs provides global automakers with connectivity standardisation that reduces cost, improves quality, and increases adaptability. It eliminates the problem of multiple local SIM cards that create complex and expensive carrier management and logistics.
- 5G Networks – eSIMs in combination with 5G networks are a must-have to fully develop connected cars. By 2025, analysts expect 5G connections to be in over 30 million vehicles. 5G networks, along with eSIMs, are an excellent opportunity for MNOs to provide innovative business models to automakers, create new revenue channels, and drive connected car growth.
- Device lifecycle management
It needs to be possible to remotely update, patch, and improve connected car applications and embedded devices. This process will keep connected cars working at optimal performance and protect them against new cyber risks while enhancing the user experience.
- Always-on, reliable connectivity
Any connected car must be able to transmit automotive data rapidly and reliably. Delays could confuse the driver and even generate accidents.
- Worldwide and seamless operation
Any connected vehicle component or app must be suitable for deployment in any market around the world.
