The flurry of eSIM and iSIM related developments continues as French chipmaker Sequans moves to integrate embedded SIM (eSIM/eUICC) technology in its chips. Sequans will implement eSIM alongside cellular LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity from US roaming specialist iBasis, into its Monarch 2 GM02S NEKTAR development kit (EVK). This will enable “global cellular connectivity for worldwide deployments of massive IoT applications”, according to the two partners. The module, based on Sequans’ dual-mode LTE-M and NB-IoT Monarch 2 chip, is now available with an iBasis eSIM, attaching to the latter’s multi-market IoT airtime plans under the brand of ‘Global Access for Things’. The aim is to encourage third parties to produce products incorporating eSIM for either local or global IoT connectivity. eSIM,…
