eSIM support for Rasperry Pi based ModBerry industrial device

eSIM support for Rasperry Pi based ModBerry industrial device

The embedded SIM card (eSIM) is a form of programmable SIM card that is directly built in the device. eSIM is a global GSMA specification that enables remote SIM delivery to any supported device, and GSMA defines eSIM as the SIM card for the next generation of connected consumer / professional devices and network solution with the use of eSIM technology.

Easy SIM operator swap

In Industrial IoT applications in which there is no need to change the SIM card, the need of using a connector is avoided, which increases reliability and data security. eSIM can be remotely configured – users can add or change operators without having to physically swap the SIM card from the device. It is often a crucial requirement for the installations where factors such as temperature, water and shock resistance, as well as lack of access forces user to choose remote solutions.

Economical Moduino X3 with ESP32 on-board available NOW

Moduino X3 ESP32

New version of Moduino ESP32, model X3 designed for various economical applications

Moduino X3 model offers new approach to Industrial IoT by upgrading mainboard elements to ensure high performance and ultra-low cost of implementation. In comparison with X2 version, new X3 limits additional ExCard expansion modules, drasticly changing the price of the device, but maintaining the 3-terminal I/Os of previous model. An important change is providing opto-isolation for DIO interface (optionally interchangeable with Relay interface for that I/O).

New version of Moduino ESP32, model X3 is designed for various economical applications, such as Industrial IoT installations, data management & remote edge-devices control. Basic configurations of X3 can be purchased for a price even lower than X1/X2 models for development purposes. Please contact our Sales Department (via Chat or e-mail) to get best price for these devices.
