MWC Shanghai eSIM Summit – The Power of eSIM technology

eSIM Market in Asia Slides GSMA eSIM Service Slides RedTea Mobile Slides Valid and Tongxin Micro Slides

Overview

According to GSMA Intelligence research , the total number of eSIM smartphones, tablets and smartwatches commercially available for purchase reached 127 in June 2022 – a fivefold increase on December 2018. Despite this, consumer awareness of eSIM technology remains low. The GSMA Intelligence Consumers in Focus Survey 2021 shows that less than 30% of consumers (on average across eight major countries analysed) are aware of eSIM – a clear barrier to adoption.

This eSIM Summit during the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai will be focus on the promising eSIM technology in Asia. This eSIM Seminar will stream focused speeches and sessions to help you discover how eSIM is reaching its full potential and what a bright journey is still to come  In addition, we would share our thoughts around the future of eSIM in Asia.

10.20 – 10.40	Empowering IoT: Made in Asia for Deployment Worldwide, Powered by eSIM   Description: The cellular IoT market is challenged by fragmentation in the following areas: device prototyping, manufacturing, shipment, ownership, and operation. Given the enormous growth of M2M devices in the market, cellular connectivity in IoT is predicted to be the next big wave of technological revolution. In addition, on-demand connectivity and interoperability will be essential for driving this industry ahead given the diverse range of applications that these devices encompass. This makes connectivity management incredibly tough. With connectivity orchestration and eSIM architecture (in compliance with the latest SGP.31 specification), it’s now possible to streamline the value chain. The keynote will address important issues in the global IoT deployment area as well as opportunities for OEMs and device owners as a result of eSIM technology.	Hui Jin, Ph.D 金辉 博士, Founder & CEO, Redtea Mobile
10.40 – 11.00	How to solve the interoperability challenges to tackle mobility with eSIM for devices deployed on global markets Description: In this session, we will be discussing how we have been helping OEMs and MNOs to tackle any obstacles they might face related to interoperability issues while adding secure connectivity into their eSIM-enabled devices beyond handsets and wearables, such as PoS, when deploying them globally. Join our expert Christian Fernandez, Product Marketing Manager, and John Zou ,Executive Vice President at TongxinMicro, in our joint pitch to get ready to deploy globally your eSIM-enabled devices.
