Thales is joining forces with Cubic Telecom to launch an innovative range of eSIM solutions, offering IoT device manufacturers instant and flexible global connectivity

This collaboration marks a major step in the evolution of the Internet of Things, facilitating the integration of connected devices in key sectors such as automotive, industry and consumer electronics.

An eSIM solution for simplified global connectivity

The new eSIM solutions from Thales, in partnership with Cubic Telecom, enable IoT device manufacturers to rapidly deploy their products in different international markets. Unlike traditional SIM cards, the eSIM (embedded SIM) is directly integrated into the device, offering increased flexibility to change mobile networks without the need for physical replacement of the SIM card.

With this technology, connected devices can be activated straight from the factory, with immediate connectivity in more than 190 countries. This not only reduces logistical costs, but also improves the user experience by offering seamless connectivity anywhere in the world. For car manufacturers, for example, this means that connected vehicles can offer uninterrupted digital services, whether they are used in Europe, Asia or America.

Concrete benefits for industrial IoT and consumer electronics

Beyond the automotive sector, this innovation also targets manufacturing industries and consumer electronics. In industry, eSIM solutions facilitate the management of connected equipment, particularly in remote or difficult-to-access environments. This enables companies to monitor their connected machines in real time, optimise predictive maintenance and improve operational efficiency.

In the field of consumer electronics, the integration of eSIMs allows manufacturers to simplify the use of connected devices such as tablets, laptops and smart objects. Consumers benefit from immediate connectivity without the need to go through the usual activation or network configuration steps, which makes the products more attractive.

Thales and Cubic Telecom also emphasise the enhanced security of their solutions. Drawing on Thales’s expertise in cybersecurity, eSIMs offer optimal protection against cyberthreats, ensuring that data exchanged between IoT devices and servers remains confidential and secure.

A strategic partnership for a connected future

This collaboration with Cubic Telecom is part of Thales‘ strategy to strengthen its leading position in the digital connectivity market. By combining Thales’ eSIM technology with Cubic’s global connectivity platform, the two companies offer device manufacturers a complete solution, from network connectivity to secure data management.

For Cubic Telecom, this partnership with a major player like Thales enables it to extend its services to new markets while benefiting from Thales’ technological and security expertise. The two companies aim to support the exponential growth of the IoT market, estimated at several billion connected devices in the coming years.

The innovation doesn’t stop there: Thales is already planning to develop new features for its eSIM solutions, in particular by integrating connectivity management technologies based on artificial intelligence. This will enable devices to automatically adapt to available networks, thus guaranteeing optimal coverage, even in areas with limited connectivity.

With these new eSIM solutions, Thales and Cubic Telecom are paving the way for smoother, more secure and universal connectivity. This technological advance simplifies the integration of IoT devices on the global market, offering companies the opportunity to develop connected products more quickly while reducing operational costs.

In a world where connectivity is becoming a key factor in competitiveness, this strategic collaboration provides a concrete response to the challenges of the Internet of Things. Whether for connected vehicles, industrial machinery or consumer electronics, the eSIM from Thales and Cubic Telecom promises to transform the way we interact with technology on a daily basis, while guaranteeing security and flexibility.
