Japan's SoftBank has gone live with Gemalto's On Demand Subscription (ODC) remote subscription management platform to allow customers to directly connect their eSIM-enabled secondary devices to the operator's mobile network.

SoftBank users will be able to take advantage of direct internet connectivity for eSIM-enabled smart watches, wearables and other secondary devices without the need to tether them to a smartphone.

SoftBank arranged in April to adopt the Gemalto platform for both consumer and industrial IoT devices.

Gemalto said it expects eSIM to become the default identification module for all cellular IoT devices. The vendor has to date delivered more than 50 eSIM subscription management servers for both consumer and M2M applications to mobile operators in Asia, Europe and North America.

In the consumer space, the company has partnerships with OEMs including Samsung, Limmex, Microsoft and Lenovo. The vendor is currently the only fully GSMA security accreditation scheme-subscription management (SAS-SM) certified supplier.
