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.

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.
