Soracom Announces Commercial Availability of iSIM Technologies and Modules

by January 24, 2025
written by January 24, 2025

Soracom, Inc., a global IoT platform provider with full MVNO capability, is pleased to announce the commercial launch of its integrated SIM technology (iSIM) as well as an iSIM-compatible cellular module built off of the Murata Type 1SC.

This offering marks Soracom’s third SIM format, with the connectivity solution also offering card-type SIMs as well as chip-type eSIMs, each of which grants users access to Soracom’s best-in-class cellular IoT connectivity platform.

The commercial launch of iSIM technologies has been in the works since July 2021 and has been brought about thanks to key partnerships with IoT chipset developer Sony Semiconductor Israel, Ltd., iSIM module manufacturer Murata, and iSIM Security solutions provider Kigen. Kigen’s Secure iSIM Operating System provides robust secure authentication services ensuring reliable out-of-the-box connectivity for commercial iSIM applications.

iSIM technology integrates the functions of the communication module and SIM into a single chip (SoC: System-on-Chip). This enables IoT device manufacturers to create more compact, lightweight and more power-efficient devices, as fewer physical components are required.

Designing connected devices with a single, integrated solution for both the communication module and the SIM reduces procurement, logistics, and storage costs. It also contributes to reduced environmental impact throughout the device manufacturing and sales lifecycle.

“We would like to express our gratitude to our partners for this exciting collaboration. Through this innovative model, iSIM seamlessly connects the LPWA chipset to the Soracom network, simplifying the hardware design and onboarding experience for our customers”, said Dima Feldman, VP of Product Management and Marketing, Sony Semiconductor Israel Ltd. “This approach is essential for driving the adoption of lower-power cellular IoT applications and we believe it will significantly enhance IoT device-makers engagement and satisfaction.”

The “Type 1SC” module from Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. comes pre-installed with Soracom’s plan01s subscription, allowing users to seamlessly connect to cellular networks worldwide. By utilizing Soracom’s subscription container feature, these modules can access other Soracom data plans, such as the optimized for LPWAN planX3. Regardless of their selected plan, users will also gain access to Soracom’s suite of connectivity tools that cover everything from data and device security to remote provisioning services and cloud integration.

“As an ultra-compact, low-power iSIM-compatible cellular LPWA communication module, our Type 1SC module is a perfect fit for Soracom users,” said Hirokazu Nakae, General Manager, Connectivity Module Product Department, Communication Module Business Unit, Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd. “Combining our miniaturization technology with iSIM provides users with a quick and easy solution for deploying IoT services at scale.”

“Thanks to our longstanding partnership with Soracom and our ecosystem partners, IoT device manufacturers now have instant access to our iSIM solution, accelerating developers’ speed to market and enhancing their ability to leverage global connectivity,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO of Kigen.

“This is a major milestone in supporting manufacturers with iSIM commercial general availability, globally.”

Soracom also offers an evaluation board kit for those customers interested in testing out iSIM integration before committing to a full deployment. This iSIM EVK can handle NTN-IoT services, as well as GNSS.
