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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
