LinkedInHow do you make global IoT deployments as simple as local ones? That’s the burning question we’ve been working with several leading mobile network operators to solve over the past 5 years. At MWC 2025 in Barcelona, we revealed our latest ground-breaking announcement with AT&T to launch their new Global SIM Advanced solution. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the IoT industry, offering unparalleled global connectivity and operational efficiencies.
But why did major operators such as AT&T, MTN and TELUS choose to work with Eseye? Let’s explore the reasons behind their strategic decisions.
A shared vision for global connectivity
What do these three MNOs have in common? They understand the complexities and challenges of IoT connectivity. Here at Eseye, we are known for our multi-award-winning eSIM technology and expertise in device management. Together, we aim to provide seamless, resilient, and global connectivity to our customers.
Proven track record and expertise
Our connectivity management platform has been tested and validated by some of the largest enterprises and tier one MNOs, demonstrating its reliability and scalability. A key reason that AT&T, TELUS and MTN chose us is because of our proven track record in delivering successful IoT solutions. Our experience in managing large-scale IoT projects and robust eSIM orchestration platform made us the ideal choice.
Innovative Integra eSIM Orchestration (eSO) Platform
Our white-labelled Integra eSO platform is at the heart of each of the above MNO’s solutions. Integra combines our award-winning multi-IMSI technology with automated eSIM orchestration, providing customers with a single pane of glass for connectivity management. The ability to switch between different network operators seamlessly and manage connections globally is a game-changer for IoT deployments.
Our MNO partners recognized the value of this technology to enhance their existing IoT connectivity portfolio, offering their customers a more flexible and resilient solution. MNO customers benefit from localized performance and in-country customer experience, providing assurance regarding network longevity concerns. In our view, this is a highly resilient connectivity solution for an IoT deployment that demands mission critical connectivity, and particularly if customers want one SKU they can send anywhere in the world and know with confidence it’ll work.
“AT&T Global SIM Advanced exemplifies our cutting-edge capabilities in global IoT connectivity,” said Mike Van Horn, associate vice president, AT&T Connected Solutions. “In collaboration with Eseye, we are helping enhance the customer experience with new eSIM capabilities that provide seamless and efficient IoT connectivity. Our advanced solution helps ensure that devices remain consistently connected and productive, no matter where they are located.”
While Jodi Baxter, Vice-President, 5G & Industry Solutions at TELUS explained, “We don’t just look at our domestic IoT capabilities, but how we’re enabling our customers to expand outside of Canada on a global level. What really attracted us to the Eseye solution was the multi-SIM switching capability that allows us to put different carrier profiles onto a SIM, which enables the customer to move the device around the world.”
Lawrence Juku, Head of IoT Solutions reveals what motivated MTN: “Our mission is to be Africa’s leading digital platform, unlocking economic growth through financial and digital solutions for consumers and businesses of all sizes. Our strategic partnership with Eseye will enable us to sell diverse IoT services such as connectivity, IoT bundles, and value-added services to help our customers meet their IoT global needs.”
Federated localization and regulatory compliance
Global IoT deployments often face regulatory challenges, with different countries having specific requirements for connectivity and data management. Our federated localization approach addresses these challenges by providing local IMSIs and ensuring compliance with local regulations. This capability allows our partner MNOs to offer a truly global solution that can adapt to the regulatory landscape of different regions.
Customer-centric approach
At the core of this collaboration is a shared commitment to delivering value to customers. IoT customers are looking for simplicity, reliability, and efficiency. This can be achieved by offering a single SKU, a single bill, and a single portal for connectivity management. This customer-centric approach simplifies the complexities of IoT deployments, allowing customers to focus on their core business while Eseye handles the international connectivity where needed.
Futureproofing for 5G
The global 5G IoT market is skyrocketing. Stratview Research report that 5G IoT unit sales in B2B will rise from over 27 million in 2025 to 44.8 million in 2030. The advent of 5G technology brings new opportunities for IoT, enabling faster speeds, lower latency, and more robust connections.
But delivering 5G connectivity quality of service (QoS) globally to meet demand is challenging.
Eseye’s platform is designed to support these advancements, ensuring that customers can take full advantage of 5G capabilities. Integra addresses the data localisation challenge for 5G IoT by routing data through local data centres via a global network federation. This elegant solution minimises latency, ensures regulatory compliance, and unlocks the potential of next generation 5G applications.
Device expertise and AnyNet SMARTconnect capabilities
Eseye’s deep expertise in device management also set us apart. IoT connectivity is not just about the network; it’s also about ensuring that devices stay connected and perform optimally. Our AnyNet SMARTconnect™ capabilities allow for intelligent device management, ensuring that devices can switch between networks seamlessly and maintain connectivity even in challenging environments. This level of device expertise is a significant advantage for our MNO customers, as it ensures that their customers have a reliable and consistent experience.
Take control of IoT, then take it anywhere
Our latest relationship with AT&T is a major milestone for us, demonstrating our leadership in eSIM orchestration and global IoT connectivity. It highlights the robustness of our technology to provide resilient global connectivity for customer devices. This collaboration not only addresses the current challenges of IoT deployments but also paves the way for future advancements in the industry.
