TRAI recommends eSIM for M2M Communications
Context
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has today released recommendations on ‘Usage of Embedded SIM for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications’.
About
eSIM (embedded-SIM)
- An eSIM is a form of SIM card that is embedded directly into a device. Traditional SIM cards are made so that they can easily be swapped out of a phone, so that core service information can get ported from one physical device to another.
- M2M eSIM is designed for IoT sensors, meters, trackers, and devices that often operate with minimal onsite human interaction.
Machine-to-machine (M2M)
- Machine-to-machine, or M2M is a more advanced form of the Internet where many devices connect with each other.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) facilitate the communication between systems, allowing them to make their own autonomous choices
Significance of the initiative
- Security: It will ensure security by way of proper Know Your Customer (KYC), which is essential for ensuring network security, mitigating fraud risks and enhancing the overall integrity of the M2M eSIM ecosystem.
- Development of a homegrown M2M eSIM ecosystem: It will stimulate the development of a homegrown M2M eSIM ecosystem in the country, thus enabling the growth of modern M2M communication.
