Rogers and rSIM (which stands for resilient SIM) are collaborating to deliver innovative, high-resiliency connectivity solutions tailored specifically for IoT applications, according to a Tuesday press release.
Developed by UK-based CSL Group, rSIM is a patented, dual-core SIM designed to ensure reliable, always-on connectivity for critical IoT use cases.
“Built on GSMA standards, rSIM tests the data connection directly from the SIM and autonomously switches seamlessly to a backup profile when connectivity is lost,” the press release explains. “Designed to be device-agnostic, rSIM integrates this resilience directly into the SIM itself, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity. This makes it ideal for IoT applications, particularly in industries where always on connectivity is essential.”
Citing data from GSMA Intelligence, rSIM’s press release says Canada is expected to reach 20 million IoT connections by 2030. Furthermore, it goes on to say, Transforma Insights predicts that, by 2030, 68 per cent of IoT connections will require always-on, real-time connectivity — a figure projected to rise to 83 per cent by 2033, according to rSIM’s release.
“Rogers is staying ahead of this demand [for high-availability connectivity] by investing in innovative technologies like rSIM,” said Lloyd Fernandes, strategic account manager of global IoT, connected vehicles and M2M partnerships at Rogers, in the release. “This collaboration not only strengthens connectivity for Canadian businesses but also enables global enterprises to operate more effectively in Canada’s competitive and rapidly evolving market.”
“As the need for reliable connectivity extends to more IoT verticals, we are here to support Rogers in serving this fast-growing requirement,” said Cristina Barlow, head of strategic partnerships at rSIM. “Our focus is on providing always on, real-time reliable solutions that meet the demands of modern IoT deployments.”
