China Mobile and NTT Docomo will launch an eSIM platform on 2 July to enable cross-vendor SIM profile switching from Docomo to China Mobile. NTT Docomo also said it will release on the same date its global IoT platform, named Globiot, to provide global connectivity and related operational support and consulting to Japanese enterprises with global IoT operations.
Docomo's Globiot platform is a combination of services that will help enterprises identify and use the most advantageous connectivity options suited to their IoT equipment deployments overseas. It will provide global connectivity via local SIM/eSIM (Embedded Subscriber Identity Module) or roaming, as well as advise customers on appropriate business models. It will also provide support with operation and maintenance and advise customers about relevant IoT regulations and necessary certifications overseas.
