Developers of wireless-enabled industrial devices are frequently faced with a specific design challenge: the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card.

This essential part of the M2M value chain was originally designed for consumer mobile phones so that the subscription could be easily portable between handsets that are replaced, on average, every 18 months. However, in the industrial domain, product life cycles are more likely to be 5, 10, 15 or even more years.
