In this episode, we dive into eUICC technology with Gregory Laloy, IoT Product Line Director at Thales Cybersecurity and Digital Identity. We explore how embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Cards revolutionise IoT connectivity by eliminating physical SIM management and enabling remote carrier switching.
Gregory explains the technical foundations of eUICC, its impact on global IoT deployments, and why this technology addresses one of the industry's most persistent challenges: connectivity fragmentation. We discuss real-world applications, implementation considerations, and how eUICC opens new possibilities for IoT use cases that span borders and carriers.
From smart meters requiring decades of reliable service to connected vehicles crossing international borders, eUICC enables seamless connectivity management. Gregory shares insights on security considerations, cost benefits, and why this technology is becoming the foundation for serious IoT deployments worldwide.
Discover how this technology transforms device lifecycle management and why eSIM connections are projected to exceed 4.5 billion by 2027.
