A Free and Open Approach to eSIM Management That’s Changing the Game for Connectivity
TEAL’s OpenEIM SGP.32 eSIM platform is breaking barriers by offering full eSIM functionality under an innovative Free-To-Play model. OpenEIM will help to accelerate the adoption of 5G and future networking solutions by providing free eSIM tools to the industry empowering users to seamlessly manage eSIMs without the traditional costs, creating unprecedented accessibility and flexibility in the eSIM ecosystem.
“SGP.32 is the most impactful evolution in eSIM technology that has occurred in the past ten years and our OpenEIM is more than just a platform; it’s a catalyst for change in how the connectivity industry operates” -Robby Hamblet, CEO at TEAL
A Free and Open Solution Redefining the Future of eSIM Technology
At TEAL, innovation has always been at the heart of what we do, and with the launch of OpenEIM, we’re taking yet another giant leap forward in shaping the future of eSIM technology. Designed to simplify and modernize the way eSIM profiles are managed, OpenEIM introduces a free and open approach to eSIM management that offers unparalleled flexibility and freedom to hardware OEMs, eSIM solution providers, and the telecom industry.
What is OpenEIM?
OpenEIM is an innovative SGP.32 eIM (eUICC IoT remote Manager) that enables true cellular networking freedom for hardware OEMs, second-generation eSIM solutions, Bring-Your-Own-SIM (BYOS), and Bring-Your-Own-Carrier (BYOC) customers. This new eSIM management platform is built for the next generation of connected devices giving customers the ability to manage their eSIM digital profile inventories with ease. It operates as the technical gateway for subscribing eSIM-enabled devices, enabling over-the-air (OTA) allocation, downloading, and management of digital profiles.
The platform works in conjunction with TEAL’s Aurora Connectivity Management Platform (CMP), which provides business logic to seamlessly enhance the eSIM management experience. Together, Aurora CMP and OpenEIM make an unbeatable combination for dynamic global connectivity in the IoT landscape.
“We have really pioneered the concept of a true eSIM platform the past several years, and OpenEIM is our biggest step forward on that mission for networking freedom.” – Robby Hamblet, CEO at TEAL
With OpenEIM, an Integrated Profile Agent (IPA) embedded in your eUICC or device acts as a key enabler for easy subscription to the management platform. Customers gain open, simplified access to their eSIM profiles while avoiding vendor lock-in—a significant leap forward for the industry.
Why OpenEIM is a Game-Changer
Historically, the management of eSIMs depended on SMSRs (Subscription Manager Secure Routing) provided by SIM vendors. While this was effective, it also gave these vendors the ability to control which networks and operators were accessible through the eSIMs, creating a locked ecosystem.
OpenEIM removes these restrictions and delivers a truly open platform for eSIM management. By allowing customers to “Bring Your Own Carrier” (BYOC) or “Bring Your Own SIM” (BYOS), OpenEIM fosters freedom of choice and eliminates barriers to competition, making it a revolutionary tool for hardware OEMs, solution providers and operators.
Key Benefits of OpenEIM:
- Freedom of Choice: Use any carrier or network of your preference without being locked into specific vendors.
- Free Access to eSIM Technology: OpenEIM includes a “Core” or “Free” tier, providing open access to eSIM management at no cost.
- Customizable & Scalable Features: The freemium model allows you to add paid capabilities, such as Teal’s Marketplace of global tier-1 networks, to expand functionality as your needs evolve.
- Simplicity & Efficiency: Backed by growing adoption and OEM support, OpenEIM simplifies the digital profile management process, making it fully digital with time.
This open model aligns with Teal’s commitment to networking freedom, positioning OpenEIM as a key milestone in the industry.
Who is OpenEIM Built For?
OpenEIM is designed with forward-thinking customers and enterprises in mind, particularly:
- Hardware OEMs looking to enhance connectivity across their devices using SGP.32-compliant technology.

- BYOC Customers (from November 2024 onward) seeking a streamlined, accessible way to manage their eSIM profiles with greater flexibility and efficiency.
From automakers like Ford and GM to companies developing connected devices, OpenEIM is engineered to meet the evolving needs of both established and emerging players.
