A single SIM carries two independently operated network profiles, one on Telefónica Deutschland’s network and one on Melita’s, with switching logic on the card itself. The device keeps a single APN and one managed connectivity service regardless of the active profile.

In an industry defined by relentless scale, razor-thin margins, and accelerating technological change, telecom operators are under pressure to modernize faster than ever before. The transition to 5G, the rise of loT ecosystems, and the growing demand for seamless digital experiences have exposed a critical bottleneck: legacy operational systems that simply cannot keep pace.

Reflecting this shift, melita.io has launched its SGP.22 based IoT eSIM offering with SGP.32 planned for later this year.
