Here’s everything you need to know about OpenEIM and how it can unlock transformational IoT connectivity for your business.
What is OpenEIM?
OpenEIM is an open and free SGP.32 eIM (eUICC IoT remote manager) designed to address the shortcomings of traditional eSIM systems, including limited interoperability, vendor lock-in, and complex carrier ecosystems. By focusing on flexibility and user empowerment, OpenEIM allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), and enterprises to manage eSIM technology with unprecedented ease.
With OpenEIM, users can move beyond the limitations of static carrier connections and achieve greater adaptability, ensuring their connectivity solutions remain reliable and cost-effective regardless of evolving market demands.
Key Features of OpenEIM
- Bring Your Own SIM (BYOS):
OpenEIM allows businesses to integrate their existing SIM cards seamlessly into IoT devices. By removing the need to purchase and activate new plastic SIM cards, BYOS simplifies supply chain management and eliminates technical difficulties like SIM swaps.
- Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC):
With BYOC, businesses can use free self-serve tools to maintain autonomy over their carrier relationships. This eliminates lock-in to vendors and service providers, ensuring control over connectivity options. Enterprises can onboard existing carrier relationships onto TEAL’s platform easily, enabling dynamic, adaptable operations. Think of it as supercharging your existing carrier relationships with access to global carriers in 196 countries.

How BYOS and BYOC Drive Real Results
BYOS (Bring Your Own SIM)
Historically, eSIM management posed challenges due to expensive hardware dependencies and compatibility barriers. BYOS simplifies the process, letting businesses use pre-included SIM cards with IoT devices.
For instance, businesses managing logistics fleets or smart meters can now transition from legacy hardware systems to IoT-enabled solutions without replacing their SIM infrastructure.
BYOC (Bring Your Own Carrier)
BYOC promotes ultimate connectivity freedom by empowering businesses to use existing relationships with carriers while supporting scalability. Whether an enterprise requires regional carriers in Europe or multitiered global connectivity, BYOC accommodates these needs efficiently.
Who Should Use OpenEIM?
OpenEIM is designed for key players in the IoT ecosystem, including:
- OEMs and MNOs: Seamlessly shift between carriers, integrate advanced solutions, and create tailored connectivity for diverse consumer needs.
- Enterprises: Achieve operational efficiency with simple tools that prioritize functionality, cost savings, and autonomy.
By solving key challenges like carrier lock-in and operational rigidity, OpenEIM dramatically improves ROI for its users.
Why OpenEIM is a Game-Changer
TEAL’s OpenEIM sets the gold standard for universal eSIM management by introducing an open platform that promotes accessibility. Here’s why it’s revolutionary:
