The Embedded World Conference (April 9 - 11, 2024) takes place for the 22nd time. The Embedded World Conference will cover all aspects of the development and application of embedded systems, from fundamental technologies to development processes and special fields of applications. It is one of the central strengths of the event to be cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary. The conference provides a platform to bring together experts from different domains and application areas of embedded systems in order to promote a holistic system design perspective, to identify synergies and commonalities, and to strengthen the exchange of knowledge and experiences. The entire embedded industry benefits from the knowledge transfer.

Global Certification Forum (GCF) is powering two sessions at the event:

eSIM IoT Devices – Boost Flexibility While Ensuring Interoperability with GSMA’s Latest eSIM Specification

 Dr. Marcus Dormanns, Director for Product Management and Business Development at COMPRION

GSMA’s latest eSIM specification significantly increases the flexibility for device manufacturers and users of eSIM IoT devices. E.g. device manufacturers can now implement logic for eSIM profile live cycle management in software on the device enabling amazing use cases like autonomous switching from one profile to another when the device moves across regions. And users of such devices have much more business flexibility in choosing their mobile connectivity provider. This presentation discusses such new opportunities.
