Soracom iSIM Production Reel
iSIM is a subscriber identification module built directly into a cellular module’s system-onchip (SoC), creating a low-profile connectivity solution that eliminates the need for a physical SIM (the iSIM is, of course, a SIM).
Its core functionality addresses multiple challenges facing IoT developers looking for the next great innovation, particularly as it pertains to miniaturization. By eliminating the need for separate components, iSIM saves valuable space on the printed circuit board for new features while reducing power requirements and device costs.
Its compact design and low power consumption make it an ideal choice for use cases like wearables and trackers, where every millimeter counts. Flexible Plans Total Visibility iSIM builds on the robust security standards set by eSIM technology. Since iSIM is embedded within the device’s core chipset, it’s better protected against tampering.
It also offers multiple layers of authentication, making iSIM a secure, cost-effective, and future-proof choice for the next generation of IoT innovations.
Ultra-small, long life modem
Modem features low and mid bands, low current consumption (eDRX and PSM), and battery life of 10+ years. Ideally suited for small, battery operated IoT devices and applications.
Features
- LTE Cat M1 & NB-IoT Connectivity
- Package: LGA
- External antenna configurations
- 3GPP eDRX and PSM modes
- Low power consumption enables up to 10 years of battery life
- Hibernation current: 3uA
- eDRX current: <25uA @ 8 hyperframes
- PSM current: dormant window configurable
- OTA firmware upgrade
- Global Carrier Certifications: GCF and PTCRB
Benefits
- Smallest/highly integrated LPWAN modem available in the market
- ~21% less square area than nearest competitor
- eSIM included in certification
- Multi-band (low and mid-band) support that covers most of the globe
- Provides options within a single modem that allows end customers the flexibility of switching between modes globally, especially for those carriers planning to support both modes
