As we approach 2025, the travel industry is on the brink of a technological revolution, with eSIM (Embedded SIM) technology poised to play a pivotal role in reshaping the way we stay connected while on the go. In an increasingly globalized world, where business and leisure travel are at an all-time high, staying seamlessly connected has never been more important.
Traditional SIM cards, once the go-to solution for mobile connectivity, are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. eSIM technology offers a smarter, more flexible, and cost-effective way to manage mobile networks across borders, making it the ideal solution for travelers. Whether for business meetings across continents or a vacation halfway around the world, eSIM ensures a hassle-free, efficient experience.
In this blog, we’ll delve into the transformative role that eSIM technology will play in the travel industry by 2025. We’ll explore how eSIM will simplify the travel experience for consumers and how it creates new opportunities for travel providers and non-telecom industries to tap into new ancillary revenue streams. With eSIM at the forefront of mobile connectivity, businesses have a unique opportunity to enhance the traveler experience while unlocking innovative revenue models.
Join us as we uncover how eSIM is setting the stage for the next generation of global travel.
What is an eSIM?
Let's first define what eSIM technology is. eSIM is a digital SIM that is embedded directly into a device, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. Instead of swapping out SIM cards when traveling to a new country or region, users can download profiles from their mobile carrier or use a global roaming service directly on their devices.
In 2025, eSIM is expected to become mainstream, with an increasing number of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and even wearables supporting this technology. The eSIM allows for seamless switching between different network providers and access to data plans across multiple countries, all without needing to carry physical SIM cards or worry about network compatibility.
Key Opportunities for Businesses with eSIM Technology
1. eSIM for Travel and Tourism Industry
The travel industry presents a significant opportunity for eSIM providers to generate ancillary revenue. Traditional SIM cards for international use have long been an inconvenience for both travelers and service providers. With eSIM, travelers can easily activate local or global data plans directly on their devices, bypassing the need for physical SIM cards.
For airlines, travel agencies, and online platforms, offering eSIM solutions can be a lucrative add-on. Airlines can provide eSIM activation as an optional service during booking, giving passengers easy access to mobile data upon arrival. Travel agencies can bundle eSIM data packages into vacation or business travel packages for seamless connectivity.
Tourism destinations, such as resorts or cities, can also enhance the visitor experience by offering easy access to local data plans through eSIM activation, creating new revenue opportunities through partnerships with telecom providers.
2. eSIM for Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs)
Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) can significantly benefit from eSIM technology, which offers greater flexibility by allowing them to operate across multiple networks without the need for separate SIM agreements. eSIM enables MVNOs to target niche markets with tailored plans, such as low-cost international calling, data-heavy streaming options, or pay-as-you-go services.
By leveraging eSIM, MVNOs can scale more efficiently, reduce operational costs, and introduce innovative products that drive ancillary revenue. As global travel picks up and connectivity becomes essential for travelers, eSIM offers a timely opportunity for MVNOs to enhance their offerings and capture new market segments.
3. eSIM for IoT (Internet of Things) Connectivity
The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem is rapidly growing, with billions of connected devices expected in the coming years. eSIM technology offers a scalable, flexible solution for managing IoT connectivity across multiple regions, making it ideal for sectors like smart homes, connected cars, wearables, healthcare, and industrial automation.
Telecom operators can capitalize on this growth by providing eSIM-based connectivity for IoT devices, creating new revenue streams through device activation, subscription services, and data usage fees. eSIM is particularly suited for global IoT applications like fleet management, asset tracking, and remote monitoring, enabling seamless cross-border connectivity. This allows operators to generate consistent, recurring revenue through data-based pricing or long-term subscription models.
4. eSIM for Enterprise Solutions
As enterprises embrace mobile technology to support a distributed workforce, eSIM offers a cost-effective and flexible solution for managing employee connectivity, especially for frequent travelers or those working across multiple regions.
Telecom providers can deliver tailored eSIM solutions, including business-specific data plans, multi-country roaming, and data management platforms, simplifying the management of employee connectivity and reducing administrative costs. Additionally, eSIM enhances secure, scalable remote work solutions, enabling businesses to integrate eSIM-enabled devices into their mobility and cybersecurity strategies.
The sale of eSIM-based enterprise solutions, along with ongoing subscriptions for device management and data usage, presents significant opportunities for generating ancillary revenue.

In today's digital landscape, enterprises require seamless and efficient connectivity solutions to power their operations. However, traditional Communication Service Providers (CSPs) often face challenges in effectively managing GTP traffic within their core network infrastructure, hindering the implementation of advanced use cases. Just as STPs manage SS7 traffic and DRAs manage diameter traffic. Spartified has developed GTPProxy platform that addresses the complexities of GTP traffic management, providing enterprises with a solution tailored to their evolving needs.
Enhanced Security with Topology Hiding
Security is paramount for enterprises, especially when it comes to protecting sensitive network infrastructure. GTPProxy allows enterprises to implement topology hiding, securing enterprise PGW IPs by concealing them from the external world. This mitigates the risk of unauthorized access and enhances network privacy and confidentiality.
Seamless IoT Integration
One of the key challenges for enterprises is the seamless integration of IoT devices into their network infrastructure. GTPProxy enables enterprises to onboard IoT devices seamlessly by supporting multiple Access Point Names (APNs) while maintaining a single APN on the Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW). This ensures efficient management of IoT traffic without compromising on network performance.
Reduced Latency with Local Breakout (LBO)
Enterprises operating in specific countries may require reduced latency for their network traffic. GTPProxy facilitates this by enabling Local Breakout (LBO), allowing enterprises to route traffic locally, thus minimizing latency and optimizing user experience.
Customized Policy Enforcement
Enterprises often require dedicated APNs towards the PGW to enforce specific policies and restrictions. With GTPProxy, enterprises can establish dedicated APNs without altering the device's APN, creating a restricted access point for precise policy enforcement. This capability enhances security and control over enterprise network resources.
Optimized Traffic Load Balancing
GTPProxy offers flexible traffic load balancing based on customizable rules, enabling enterprises to distribute network traffic efficiently across different network paths. This ensures optimal resource utilization and enhances overall network performance.
Spartified Industry grade Platform
GTPProxy stands as a game-changer for enterprises, offering a comprehensive solution to overcome the challenges associated with GTP traffic management. From seamless IoT integration to enhanced security, reduced latency, and optimized traffic load balancing, GTPProxy empowers enterprises to unlock new possibilities in connectivity and network management. Embrace GTPProxy today and revolutionize your enterprise connectivity experience.
