SIM/eSIM & Device Lifecycle Management for Utility Networks

Managing thousands or millions of SIMs, eSIM profiles and connected devices through controlled onboarding, policy assignment, inventory and decommissioning.
Schedule a meeting
Large connected-asset programs can involve thousands or millions of SIMs, eSIM profiles and devices with different owners, contracts, security states and lifecycle stages. Automated lifecycle management helps prevent inactive or unknown endpoints, simplifies large-scale changes and improves control over connectivity costs and security posture.
WHY THIS “SIM/eSIM & DEVICE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT” CHALLENGE?
Large private-network estates require controlled onboarding, policy assignment, inventory and decommissioning of devices and subscriptions. Manual lifecycle management does not scale.

As utilities adopt private networks, edge platforms and multi-technology connectivity, the enabling infrastructure becomes a service estate with thousands of devices, software versions, identities, dependencies and performance indicators. Utilities need a reliable lifecycle model without adding another layer of disconnected management platforms.

Key benefits
Improving control, security and operational efficiency across large connected-asset estates through automated SIM/eSIM, device and subscription lifecycle management

Stronger inventory and endpoint control

Centralized device, SIM/eSIM and subscription inventory helps prevent inactive or unknown endpoints and improves visibility across lifecycle stages.

check icon
Better security and usage governance

Integrating identity, security and usage monitoring provides clearer control over security states, policies and connectivity consumption.
