Hermetry Connect · eSIM management in development
Your SIM, your operator, managed from Hermetry
Use your own SIM cards and data plans in your devices. You do not need a SIM from Hermetry. On licensed routers, Connect adds eSIM management: add, switch and remove operator profiles from the platform, with a safe way back if a switch fails. The router side of eSIM management is still in development.
eSIM on licensed routers
What the eSIM side is designed to do
The platform side is built; the router side is in development. Until both are released, these are not features you can use.
See the chip and its profiles
A router's eSIM chip, its modem and slots, and every profile on it, as the router reports them, on the device page.
Add from an activation code
Add a profile from the activation code your operator gives you, then rename, turn off or delete profiles.
Switch with a way back
A switch is applied and then confirmed. If the router cannot reach Hermetry on the new profile within five minutes, it returns to the previous one.
Activation codes are never kept
The code is checked, sealed and handed to the router once. Hermetry keeps only the operator's server address and a short fingerprint.
Refuses unsafe steps
Deleting the profile in use is refused, and so is switching away from the only working uplink unless you confirm another line is up.
Every step audited
Each add, switch, rename and delete is recorded with who did it and when.
The plan
Where Connect is heading
Plans, not features. Details may change.
- Remote eSIM management under the GSMA SGP.32 standard for IoT devices
- Ordering eSIM profiles from your operator through its own interface
- eSIM changes for many routers at once
You choose the operator and the data plan. Connect manages the profiles on your routers; it does not tie you to an operator we pick.
How it will work
Changing an operator without a site visit
1
Get a profile
Get an activation code from your operator for the new line.
2
Add it
Open the router in Hermetry and add the profile from the code.
3
Switch
Switch to the new profile. The router confirms it can reach Hermetry, or goes back to the old one by itself.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I have to buy SIM cards or data plans from Hermetry?
No. Use your own SIM cards and data plans from the operator you choose. Your devices and licensed routers connect to Hermetry over them today.
Can I use Connect today?
Not yet. The platform side of eSIM management is built and the router side is in development. Licensed routers already connect to Hermetry over your existing SIM.
Which routers will support it?
Licensed routers with an eSIM chip the platform can manage. The device page shows the eSIM controls only on routers where that is the case.
Which operators will work?
The eSIM side is designed for any operator that issues standard activation codes.
How will Connect be priced?
On its own. Prices are not set yet. Contact sales to talk about your fleet.
