NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ: NXPI) has recently unveiled significant advancements in eSIM technology that align with the GSMA standard, making it easier for device manufacturers to offer consumers remote SIM configuration and multi-profile support managed by network operators. These innovations are perfectly timed as the eSIM market continues to expand rapidly. According to ABI Research data from December 2017, the market is expected to grow nearly sevenfold, with shipments rising from 224 million units in 2018 to 696 million by 2022. Let’s dive into what NXP has to offer.
The new NXP SN100U represents a major leap forward in the eSIM space, being the first single-die solution that combines embedded security (SE), near field communication (NFC), and eSIM capabilities. This integration brings enhanced performance, advanced features, and stronger security to devices. Additionally, NXP introduced the SU070, the industry's smallest standalone eSIM solution, ideal for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other IoT devices that require low-power connectivity. Both solutions provide top-tier end-to-end security, ensuring secure and tamper-proof data handling for users, OEMs, MNOs, and service providers alike.
Rafael Sotomayor, Senior Vice President and General Manager of NXP's Secure Transaction and Identity business line, stated, “With the rise of 5G and the growing consumer focus on IoT, we're seeing new opportunities for smarter, more connected devices. These devices will need greater security, performance, and reliability. As a leader in secure IoT solutions, NXP is uniquely positioned to deliver integrated security, NFC, and connectivity in a single chip, making remote configuration simpler and more efficient.â€
SN100U – The Ultimate in Integration
The SN100U is a highly integrated chipset that combines SE, NFC, and eSIM into one compact design. It offers OEMs a cost-effective and convenient way to incorporate advanced features like mobile transactions, smart access control, contactless payments, and enhanced platform security. For MNOs, OEMs, and ODMs, this solution provides a powerful combination of performance, compatibility, and security. Its multi-interface and security software features make it an ideal choice for next-generation devices. With improved read/write cycles, multi-interface management, and reduced power consumption, the SN100U helps extend the lifespan of connected devices, benefiting both service providers and their customers.
SU070 – Smallest Footprint, Lowest Power
Compared to existing solutions, the SN100U and SU070 reduce PCB footprint by up to 30%, eliminating the need for traditional SIM cards and enabling ultra-low power consumption. The SU070, in particular, is perfect for wearables and small mobile devices, offering up to 75% lower power usage than competing eSIM options. This flexibility allows MNOs to explore a wider range of mobile cellular services and expand their offerings to new markets.
By integrating eSIM and SE capabilities, end users can enjoy a more seamless and secure experience—such as making NFC-based mobile payments without interrupting phone calls. These advancements highlight NXP’s commitment to driving innovation in the connected world, delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s tech-savvy consumers.
