Design for Resilience: Building Always-On IoT Connectivity

Reliable connectivity is crucial for high-uptime Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Even a brief disruption can result in service level agreement (SLA) violations or costly operational downtime. Embedded SIM (eSIM) technology must adapt in real time for industries that depend on continuous service, like:  

Power Always-On IoT

Why Traditional SIMs Fall Short

Standard SIM cards and basic failover setups often struggle in global or mobile deployments. These systems usually rely on a single carrier. They require manual switching or external controls to restore connectivity during network outages.   

That process introduces delays and increases the risk of connection loss, especially in remote or cross-border environments.  

The Role of eSIMs in IoT Connectivity

NExT™ eSIM Protect offers a reliable choice. Each SIM profile is associated with a different mobile network operator (MNO). If one network fails or becomes unstable, the SIM automatically switches to an alternative. As devices no longer require manual SIM swaps or redundant hardware, complexity decreases.  

eSIMs simplify compliance in procurement settings, especially for tenders and requests for quotation (RFQs) with uptime guarantees or coverage redundancy needs. They reduce operational complexity while supporting high-availability service models.  

Always-On Connectivity without Borders

Multiprofile eSIMs are especially effective where consistent coverage and compliance are critical. These scenarios include global rollouts and mission-critical applications.  

For mobile and regional deployments, eSIMs enable seamless transitions between networks. They help service stay active:   

  • In rural areas  
  • In poor coverage areas  
  • Along national borders  
  • During unpredictable outages   

This flexibility ensures devices stay connected and eases the workload on support teams.
