IoT connectivity firm KORE has launched a global eSIM that makes IoT connectivity more accessible and seamless across the globe.

Called OmniSIM, it lets users leverage zero-touch provisioning and global connectivity for out-of-the-box coverage that ensures IoT services are always on the right network for a user’s needs.

“Innovation and a pioneering spirit are embedded deeply into our DNA at KORE, and the launch of OmniSIM further positions us as the leading eSIM provider for the internet of things,” said KORE CEO Romil Bahl. “We’re entering what I like to call the decade of IoT and, in order to deliver on the growth that we expect, eSIM technologies will be a key enabling factor to the explosion of IoT globally.”

There are two offerings within the product suite: OmniSIM Reach and OmniSIM Rush. These are the first of many scheduled offerings with more planned for early next year.

OmniSIM Reach provides global connectivity on KORE eSIM technology and enables roaming access to nearly 600 networks in 198 countries. It is differentiated in the market through its delivery of resilient coverage across multiple available networks per country. Built on a centralised multi-IMSI design, OmniSIM Reach combines KORE roaming sponsors so users get the best price while maintaining the widest coverage.

OmniSIM Rush is an eSIM offering that is designed to deliver high-bandwidth performance, while maintaining flexible and automated carrier options. It removes the headaches often associated with global IoT deployments and is suitable for high-usage plans from 100Mbyte/month and up. OmniSIM Rush is available in the USA and Europe through 61 networks in 34 countries.

Recently awarded with High Flyer status for eSIM connectivity by Kaleido Intelligence, KORE has been recognised for a portfolio of eSIM and multi-IMSI capabilities.

“KORE combines a rich portfolio of carrier eSIM profiles and its own KORE profiles with multi-IMSI switching capability, in addition to a highly configurable orchestration engine to support a very broad range of customer requirements for global IoT operations,” said Jon King, chief commercial officer of Kaleido Intelligence. “The solution allows customers to reduce time-to-market while optimising quality of service and compliance requirements based on customer needs and the regulatory environment.”
