A QR code, or Quick Response code, is a two dimensional barcode that can be read by a smartphone or other imaging device. Users can use a QR code to download an eSIM profile and activate the mobile service without having to physically insert a simcard.
A bootstrap profile, also called provisioning or default profile, provides an eSIM with its default sim credentials to connect to a mobile network. This allows the eSIM to establish a connection for devices when they are first activated on the production line or deployed in the field.
Most of us are familiar with the traditional simcards, which we know as mini, micro and nano simcards, 2FF, 3FF and 4FF respectively. However, for many types of hardware, these sizes are impractical. We will specifically indicate the advantages of solderable simcards, also known as embedded sims (MFF2). These simcards are mounted directly on the printed circuit board (PCB) and cannot be easily removed like the traditional simcards. A 6×5 mm microchip that is soldered onto a printed circuit board.

Compared to traditional sim technology, Remote Sim Provisioning (RSP) technology is still relatively new. The traditional simcard is equipped with the well-known sim technology that has been an integral part of the IoT connectivity portfolio for a long time. As the IoT market grows steadily, more and more new challenges arise. Some challenges are limited by this traditional sim technology and this is where the RSP technology stands out.
Remote Sim Provisioning is a term you may have never heard of around sim technology. It is often referred to by the term eSIM. What is it? RSP is remote operator switching. In this article we use the
term RSP to avoid confusion with another term eSIM, which is often used for the same functionality. The RSP technology is one of the most important factors for growth in the IoT market. By enabling remote switching of the virtual operator profile, it solves many of the challenges of organizations engaged in IoT implementation.
If you want a different operator for the IoT connectivity, it is very difficult to physically switch simcards. RSP is thus the technology that allows the remote activation and management of profiles of multiple operators. This technique makes it possible to switch operators quickly and easily.
eSIM stands for embedded SIM. eSIM capabilities are available for all form factors: 2FF (Mini), 3FF (Micro), 4FF (Nano), and MFF2 (the soldered sim chip). The main difference with a standard simcard is the ability to provision the simcard remotely. This means that different carrier profiles can be stored on the sim and subsequently downloaded over the air. It allows a customer to switch between the two without changing the physical simcard itself.
An MFF2 embedded simcard is a vacuum sealed simcard that can be soldered directly to the circuit board of your device. This increases reliability and reduces the impact of shock, corrosion and other environmental factors. The lifespan of an MFF2 embedded simcard is longer than that of a standard model. One of the biggest advantages of an MFF2 embedded simcard is the physical security, because the simcard is soldered directly to the circuit board of your device, removing it will be impossible.
