Revolutionizing Connectivity: The Rise of iSIMs in the Mobile Industry

 

The mobile industry is on the verge of a groundbreaking transformation, spearheaded by the advent of integrated SIMs, or iSIMs. According to a new report from Juniper Research, the number of iSIMs in connected devices is expected to soar from 800,000 in 2024 to more than 10 million by 2026. This staggering 1,200% increase is anticipated to be driven by the release of the GSMA's SGP.41/42 specifications by the end of 2025. These specifications aim to standardize and streamline the rollout of iSIM-enabled devices, thereby enhancing their accessibility and adoption. 

An iSIM, also known as an Integrated Universal Integrated Circuit Card (iUICC), represents an evolution of the eSIM (embedded SIM) technology by integrating directly into the device’s processor. This innovation eliminates the need for a separate SIM module, heralding a future where traditional SIM cards are rendered obsolete and networks can preload plans onto devices during the manufacturing process. The GSMA's SGP.41/42 specifications will facilitate In-factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP), allowing iSIM profiles to be uploaded onto devices during production. This capability simplifies the process for both manufacturers and consumers by enabling devices to be shipped with pre-configured cellular connectivity.  

Despite the optimistic forecast, Juniper's report points out that the absence of an industry-wide standard for iSIM technology could pose challenges. Without an official standard, manufacturers might be reluctant to launch iSIM solutions. Elisha Sudlow-Poole, the author of Juniper Research’s report, emphasizes the need for eSIM vendors to develop standard-agnostic platforms that can adapt to various form factors, standards, and use-case requirements. Furthermore, eSIM vendors must cultivate trusted partnerships with manufacturers to ensure the widespread adoption of iSIM connectivity services once they become sought after in the market. 

Juniper's study projects that the number of iSIM connections will surge to 210 million globally by 2028. This growth will be fueled by the adoption of iSIM technology in sectors such as smart energy meters and remote logistics, where there is a demand for power-efficient and compact devices. As these and other industries recognize the advantages of iSIM technology, the mobile industry's landscape will continue to evolve, ushering in a new era of connectivity and convenience. 

The shift to iSIMs represents a significant milestone in the evolution of the mobile industry, promising improved efficiency, security, and user experience. With the expected release of standardized guidelines and the increasing adoption of iSIM technology, the coming years are likely to witness profound changes in how devices connect to networks, ultimately benefiting both consumers and businesses. This transition underscores the mobile industry’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to enhancing connectivity solutions for a rapidly advancing digital world.

HackersEra Launches Telecom Penetration Testing to Eliminate Cyber Threats

 

Cybercriminals have attacked telecom infrastructure, particularly as it shifts to an IP-based design with the introduction of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks, also referred to as LTE or 4G. Persistent attackers could spy on users' cellular networks and record data flow by exploiting security vulnerabilities in the LTE mobile device standard. 

Thanks to HackersEra, a prominent Indian cybersecurity service provider with global footprints, for introducing a cutting-edge solution to help the telecom sector in India and around the world enhance their telecom network security posture, minimise the risk of attacks, and increase operational efficiency through 'Telecom Penetration Testing.’ 

The telecom industry has grown at an astounding rate, especially in the developing world of South America, Africa, and Asia. As a result, networks have grown significantly, new services have been added, and the system as a whole has grown increasingly complicated. But security is frequently ignored or marginalised in favour of growing market share and cutting expenses. But hackers don't care about the economy, and they've begun targeting telecom infrastructure since it's using LTE to enable the move to an IP-based design. 

This, combined with stronger telecom security laws, continues to be a formidable barrier for carriers to overcome. Despite the fact that there are several security challenges, telcos' experiences have shown that some of them can be resolved, while others will continue to be a known threat unless cost-effective solutions are devised. 

HackersEra covers every angle while assessing the security of a telecom infrastructure. The company's strategy for boosting operational efficiency in the telecom industry includes pre-engagement, scoping, asset classification, risk assessment and risk treatment, vulnerability analysis, penetration testing, employee training, and support.

HackersEra is home to a team of researchers who are experts in the latest developments in telecommunications technology, such as 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. These tools have probed and investigated telecom network interfaces such as the Air Interface, Backhaul Interface, Core Network, and Roaming Interface. The company has developed security testing automation solutions that specialists with less security experience can use. 

The company was launched in 2015 in Maharashtra's Pune by Vikash Chaudhary, is an industry-leading cybersecurity service provider known for introducing innovative, adaptive business processes that provide increased security and productivity to enterprises. In just seven years after its inception, the group has developed globally, particularly in Asia, the Americas, and Africa.
