Global IoT connectivity stands at a transformative crossroads. The traditional model of operator-specific SIMs and roaming agreements no longer meets the demands of modern IoT deployments. A new paradigm is emerging, driven by the need for true global connectivity and localization.

Mike Van Horn, AT&T’s Area Vice President, Product Development & Management, Internet of Things, joins the podcast to discuss how eSIM orchestration and federated localization are reshaping IoT connectivity. Mike explores the evolution from traditional roaming to automated eSIM management, the importance of device expertise, and why localization matters more than ever. The conversation delves into key topics, including:

How eSIM orchestration enables global deployments
What AT&T and Eseye’s announcement at MWC25 means
The purpose and benefits of AT&T’s Global SIM Advanced solution
Why device optimization remains critical

This episode examines the future of IoT connectivity and how eSIM orchestration and embedded advanced automation rules will drive the next wave of IoT connectivity innovation. Tune in to understand the technology transforming global IoT deployments.
