G+D & AWS partner to advance cloud-based eSIM solutions

Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are collaborating to develop cloud-based eSIM technologies aimed at transforming traditional eSIM deployment methods.

The collaboration between the two enterprises seeks to establish a more scalable and elastic cloud-native deployment for eSIM technology. This is intended to foster new business models and accelerate the widespread adoption of eSIM technology across different sectors.

According to Juniper research, the global eSIM market is projected to grow from $4.7 billion in 2023 to $16.3 billion by 2027. This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of these technologies in smartphones, IoT devices, and automotive applications.

G+D has played a significant role in the development and standardisation of eSIM technologies since 2012, having enabled over 500 million eSIM downloads. The company aims to enhance eSIM deployment efficiencies using AWS's global cloud infrastructure, thus making it more accessible to mobile network operators, device manufacturers, and enterprise clients.

G+D's market-leading eSIM platform utilises AWS cloud technology to provide comprehensive solutions that align with current enterprise needs. Harnessing AWS's scalability and security, the company's SGP.32 solution for IoT, among others, promises consistency in performance thanks to AWS's extensive infrastructure.

Yasser Alsaied, Vice President of IoT at AWS, commented, "G+D transforms mobile connectivity management through highly innovative eSIM solutions built on AWS. By leveraging the global reach and scalable architecture of AWS, G+D's SGP.32 platform, IoT Suite and Entitlement Services can now deliver eSIM profile management capabilities to mobile operators and enterprises worldwide."

"As eSIM adoption accelerates across consumer and IoT devices, secure, reliable cloud services are fundamental to scaling eSIM technology and enabling new connectivity solutions. AWS and G+D are helping customers to transform their mobile connectivity operations while maintaining the highest standards of security and performance."

Philipp Schulte, CEO of G+D Mobile Security, stated, "With eSIM bringing IoT and consumer connectivity into a new era, we are ready to pioneer the connected future. Our work with AWS underlines our intention to continuously push boundaries and reimagine the way carriers, device vendors, and enterprise customers think about eSIM implementation."

"The combination of cloud computing and eSIM technology represents a powerful duo that drives the future of connectivity. This integration not only simplifies the management of mobile connections but also unlocks new possibilities for global and flexible communication solutions, fostering significant business value for enterprises across industries. Together with AWS, we look forward to shaping a seamless, smart, and more sustainable future."
