Cisco & Tata Communications Join Forces to Elevate Global eSIM & IoT Connectivity
Cisco and Tata Communications partner to embed Tata’s MOVE™, their global eSIM orchestration platform, directly into Cisco’s IoT Control Center, enabling enterprises to simplify how they deploy, manage, and scale Internet of Things (IoT) solutions worldwide. This move aims to resolve long-standing issues with device activation, vendor fragmentation, and network interoperability.
Tackling the Complexity in Global IoT Deployments
Enterprises running thousands or millions of connected devices ranging from industrial sensors to connected cars face mounting hurdles: managing different SIM vendors, dealing with mismatched hardware and standards, and overseeing device lifecycles across varying public and private networks. These challenges often delay roll-outs, raise costs, and reduce flexibility.
By integrating MOVE™ into Cisco’s IoT Control Center, which already supports over 270 million SIM-equipped IoT devices, including 100 million connected vehicles, customers can gain unified control over connectivity, no matter the location or network type.
What the Collaboration Offers
The strategic integration brings several key benefits for enterprises:
-
Seamless Activation & Management: Devices can be provisioned, activated, and managed across different SIM providers and network types (public, private, etc.), reducing vendor lock-in.
-
Accelerated Time-to-Market: Unified orchestration means faster deployment of IoT solutions, less technical friction, fewer integration steps.
-
Enhanced Visibility & Control: Enterprises will get richer insights across the entire IoT stack device status, connectivity health, monitoring across locations—and more control over lifecycle management.
-
Reduced Operational Overhead: Fewer manual configurations, less hardware swapping, and streamlined vendor relationships help lower both complexity and cost.
Industries Poised to Benefit Most
Some of the sectors that stand to gain heavily from this collaboration include:
-
Automotive / Connected vehicles – e.g. fleet management, cross-border vehicle activation without needing to swap physical SIMs.
-
Logistics & Transportation – where devices move across regions and networks; simplifying connectivity drastically improves efficiency.
-
Utilities & Infrastructure Monitoring – sensors and remote assets that must work reliably across different network environments.
What This Means for Enterprises
With this partnership, businesses can expect higher agility in IoT projects, reduced churn in device management, easier global scale, and a more predictable connectivity infrastructure. For companies that previously had to deal with multiple tools, vendors, or manual workarounds, the unified approach promises smoother operations.
