Case study | PPTX and PDF (2 slides) | IoT Services


"Gemalto has used its first-mover advantage to be a market leader in eUICC services but it is not yet active in the IoT iSIM space."

Gemalto used its strong relationships with mobile network operators (MNOs) as a physical SIM manufacturer to provide MNOs and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with eSIMs, embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) subscription management services and remote SIM provisioning (RSP) services. It is less strong in the IoT iSIM market where it has prioritised consumer iSIMs.

This case study provides:

  • key data about Gemalto
  • an overview of the company’s strategy
  • an analysis of the company’s strengths and weaknesses.
