Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics has announced mass-market availability of its ST4SIM eSIM (embedded SIM) ICs for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications through e-distribution.

ST’s industrial eSIMs provide all the services needed to connect IoT devices to cellular networks. They are suitable for applications such as machinery condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, as well as asset tracking, energy management and connected healthcare devices. In addition, by allowing remote management of the SIM profile in accordance with the GSMA specification, the eSIMs let users change the connectivity provider without having access to the device.

With rich built-in features and access to quality provisioning services, the eSIM family delivers a convenient solution for numerous M2M applications. Mass-market availability lets developers everywhere leverage secure and flexible cellular connectivity in more applications than ever, including independent M2M development, proof-of-concept and prototype projects. Using ST’s B-L462E-CELL1 Discovery kit powered by the ST4SIM, the user can also test and evaluate all product features pre-integrated in a complete ecosystem.

The eSIM is certified by GSMA and available in the industry-standard MFF2 5 x 6 mm DFN8 wettable flank package. Other package options are available to order, including the highly miniaturised wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP). ST takes care of activation and deployment by arranging for customers to use device-onboarding and service-provisioning platforms provided by ST Authorized Partner Truphone.
