Global SecurityTech company Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) launched a new cloud-based eSIM solution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). The collaboration combines trusted digital security from G+D with best-in-class cloud agility and scale from AWS, enabling customers to confidently deploy and manage devices with eSIM connectivity worldwide.
Under the partnership, G+D will transition eSIM workloads to the AWS cloud environment. This newly launched solution combines G+D’s focus on GSMA compliance and foundational security with AWS’ secure, high availability cloud infrastructure to deliver global provisioning and low-latency connectivity solutions across multiple geographies.
“As the pioneers in SIM and eSIM, and the undisputed leader in security for more than 170 years, we are delighted to be achieving another industry first today through our collaboration with AWS. By bringing eSIM to the cloud and increasing agility and scalability, we will accelerate eSIM adoption in both consumer and IoT applications, providing a secure, future-proof and cost-effective solution for our customers,” said Philipp Schulte, CEO G+D Mobile Security.
The growth of eSIM-only devices across global telecommunications markets during the last year has driven a significant shift towards industry adoption of eSIM for both consumer and IoT applications. Telecommunications operators increasingly need faster onboarding and elastic scaling of eSIM deployment, especially during peak demand periods. Ensuring end-to-end security is also critical for the rollout of SGP.32 (IoT eSIM) and SGP.22 (consumer eSIM) compatible devices.
This new agreement expands the collaboration between G+D and AWS. G+D is already deploying its SGP.32 eSIM technology for Amazon’s eero Signal device, marking one of the first commercial deployments of the technology. G+D will also offer its solutions via the AWS Marketplace, ensuring widespread accessibility to the technology for mobile carriers, enterprises, and IoT service providers.
