Physical SIM and eSIM Provisioning

Private 5G device authentication relies on USIM credentials stored in physical SIM cards or embedded eSIM profiles. Physical SIMs are pre-provisioned with IMSI, authentication keys, and network access credentials before distribution to devices. For large-scale deployments with hundreds or thousands of IoT sensors, physical SIM logistics becomes a major operational burden. Embedded SIM technology solves this through remote provisioning — the SM-DP+ server pushes profiles over the air to devices without physical handling. eSIM supports multiple operator profiles on a single chip, enabling…
