emnify has anounced the commercial launch of its consumer eSIM solution targeted at enterprise device fleets.
As consumer device manufacturers move toward consumer eSIM only devices, such as Apple phasing out physical SIM slots for its iPads, businesses face growing challenges to deploy and manage consumer eSIMs efficiently, at scale. emnify’s solution addresses these challenges by offering ‘zero-touch’ eSIM provisioning that eradicates the need for SIM logistics whilst promising complete connectivity control.
emnify’s consumer eSIM solution is made possible by integrating the IoT connectivity provider’s backend with a customer’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) system, facilitating the deployment of eSIMs at the click of a button. Due to the integration, eSIM profiles are pushed to devices via a customer’s MDM and are activated automatically upon device startup with no user action needed. This significantly streamlines deployments, cuts manual steps and reduces errors.
emnify already has pre-built integrations with Microsoft Intune, Omnissa and Jamf but is inviting customers to explore other integration opportunities with them.
While QR codes and activation links remain options for small-scale deployments, emnify’s MDM integration is the scalable choice for enterprises aiming to minimize complexity while accelerating consumer eSIM rollouts.
One notable beneficiary of such efficiency gains is Lufthansa Group’s, Discover Airlines. Discover Airlines recently harnessed emnify’s solution to support its transition to consumer eSIM for flight crew iPads. Discover Airlines can now deploy thousands of new cabin crew iPads remotely via their MDM with no action required by the flight crew.
“The easy and secure provisioning of eSIMs via mobile device management has simplified device deployment at scale, ensuring pilots always have access to mission-critical applications without significant manual configuration upfront,” said Jonas Becker, Electronic Flight Bag Administrator, Discover Airlines.
“Our consumer eSIM solution delivers not only the speed required for rapidly scaling deployments but also offers unparalleled control over IoT connectivity for our customers,” added Frank Stoecker, CEO of emnify.
emnify complements its eSIM offering with a comprehensive, in-portal functionality that gives customers total control over their IoT connectivity consumption. Such functionality includes DNS filtering for whitelisting specific application servers, consumption limits and custom automations based on connectivity events.
As more OEMs adopt eSIM technology, emnify’s consumer eSIM solution is well positioned to help enterprises transition to high-control, low-effort deployments, thanks to its easy MDM integration and comprehensive connectivity management capabilities. emnify provides rapid deployment through simple, MDM integration whilst offering enterprises complete control over connectivity management.
