Gemalto and Microsoft have teamed up to incorporate Gemalto’s On-Demand Connectivity subscription management solution with Windows 10 native eSIM support with the aim of providing consumers a way to seamlessly manage the connectivity experience of their devices.

The eSIM is designed to be remotely provisioned by mobile network operators with subscription information and is globally interoperable across all carriers, device makers and technology providers implementing the specification. This technology will serve as the framework devices of all shapes and sizes use to connect to operator networks. The first wave of devices with this technology is expected to be available to consumers this holiday 2017.

Gemalto says its latest release is compliant with the latest specifications and guidelines for remote SIM provisioning as laid out by the GSMA.

“eSIM technology remains an important investment for Microsoft as we look to create even more mobile computing opportunities,” said Roanne Sones, GM of Strategy and Ecosystem for Windows and Devices at Microsoft. “As a key component for the Always Connected Windows experience, we worked closely with Gemalto to develop a solution that meets the new GSMA guidelines.”

“Gemalto has created a complete range of subscription management software and services to manage the eSIM life cycle in mobile devices,” said Rodrigo Serna, senior vice president of Mobile Services and IoT Americas at Gemalto. “We will continue to work closely with Microsoft and the GSMA to further these advances while protecting the security of end users, who rely on their mobile devices to make everyday life easier.”
