Qatar telco Ooredoo has announced an eSIM offering for IoT devices, developed to support enterprises in simplifying device management, enhancing security and scaling IoT operations across borders.

As industries increasingly adopt IoT technologies to drive efficiency and digital transformation, Ooredoo’s eSIM offering is a flexible alternative to traditional SIM cards. With QR code-based activation and remote provisioning, it eliminates the need for physical SIM swaps, enabling faster deployment and streamlined lifecycle management of connected devices.

Designed for sectors such as smart cities, transportation, logistics, healthcare, oil and gas, manufacturing, and utilities, the eSIM provides global scalability through multi-network access. Devices can switch between networks and roam internationally, making it suitable for dynamic, high-mobility environments. It also delivers long-term cost efficiency by reducing reliance on physical SIM cards.

One of the key advantages is extensive global coverage. With a single eSIM, businesses can seamlessly connect to more than 600 networks worldwide, enabling easy deployment of IoT devices virtually anywhere.

In addition to connectivity flexibility, the eSIM features robust security protocols aligned with GSMA standards, ensuring data integrity and device authentication across all endpoints.

To support management at scale, Ooredoo provides a central platform that enables businesses to monitor usage, control subscriptions and optimise performance across their entire connectivity footprint.

Dedicated round-the-clock enterprise support is available to ensure continuity and help customers increase the value of their deployments.

“We’re proud to introduce a solution that reflects the evolving needs of modern businesses,” said Thani Ali Al-Malki, chief business officer at Ooredoo Qatar (www.ooredoo.qa). “With our eSIM offering, customers can reduce complexity, improve security and expand their IoT operations with greater control and confidence, whether they operate locally or across borders.”
