All eSIM-equipped devices managed by SIMPL IoT come pre-loaded with a T-Mobile bootstrap profile, ensuring immediate and reliable initial connectivity out of the box. This enables devices to immediately connect to the most suitable cellular network through Thales Adaptive Connect when deployed in the field. When end customers opt to continue using T-Mobile’s network for operational use, they simply remain on the preloaded profile powering their connected use cases.
The integration of Thales Adaptive Connect with SIMPL’s platform allows customers to automatically manage device connectivity in real-time. Through a user-friendly web portal, enterprises and OEMs can now remotely update device connectivity, streamlining deployment and maintenance processes.
This eliminates the logistical and operational hurdles of updating devices manually or swapping SIM cards significantly as once installed in the field, devices equipped with eSIMs instantly connect to the most appropriate cellular network. This game-changing solution leverages eSIM and GSMA SGP.22/32 technologies, enabling businesses to overcome traditional connectivity constraints.
“This collaboration delivers what IoT enterprises truly need—eSIM and connectivity that simply works. We're eliminating complexity and the fear of eSIM so businesses can focus on innovation, not infrastructure management,” said Ryan Keefe, Chief Operating Officer at SIMPL.
"Thales, SIMPL, and T-Mobile are united in shaping the future of eSIM technology, delivering advanced platforms and pioneering commercial solutions that help our customers thrive," said Mike Fitz, Vice President of Solution Sales, T-Mobile for Business. "By providing seamless, out-of-the-box connectivity and essential tools for global scalability, we empower businesses to grow without limits. This game-changing approach simplifies complex supply chain and IoT connectivity decisions, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and customer success."
“The collaboration between T-Mobile, and SIMPL IoT and Thales represents a major step forward in addressing the challenges of scalability, security, and adaptability in IoT connectivity. With the adoption of Thales Adaptive Connect*, businesses across industries can confidently scale their IoT operations while ensuring seamless, secure, and future-proof connectivity,” said Eva Rudin, Vice President Mobile & Connectivity Solutions at Thales.
* The first market ready solution leveraging both GSMA SGP.22 and SGP.32 technologies.
