2CoreSIM

Resilient IoT connectivity for critical applications

When cold chains are monitored, security systems are controlled, vital data is transmitted or backup systems are activated, connectivity must work even in the event of disruption.

2CoreSIM combines two independent network profiles on a single SIM card and can automatically switch to the alternative connection in case of poor reception, degraded connection quality or technical disruptions.

  • Two independent network profiles on one SIM card
  • Automatic switching between Melita and Telefónica Deutschland
  • Local decision logic directly in the SIM
  • No IoT device changes required
  • Built for critical IoT applications and backup systems

Designed for lasting reliability

Many IoT solutions still rely on traditional connectivity models that were largely shaped by consumer market requirements. For simple applications, this may be sufficient. For critical IoT processes, coverage alone is often no longer enough. Critical applications require a different connectivity logic: higher resilience, stable data transmission, clear fallback layers and a technical concept that considers disruptions from the start.

That is exactly why 2CoreSIM was developed.

Reliable connectivity is not a commodity. Not for critical IoT.

Two profiles - One SIM - More resilience

2CoreSIM uses an eUICC-SIM with two independent network profiles: a Melita profile and a Telefónica Deutschland profile.

The decision logic sits directly inside the SIM.

If the primary connection is unavailable or not sufficiently stable, the SIM can automatically activate the alternative profile. This means connectivity is not only based on multiple radio networks, but on separate network profiles and independent infrastructures.

2CoreSIM: beyond traditional roaming

Traditional roaming can make multiple radio networks usable, but it often remains tied to a single home-core model. 2CoreSIM goes one step further.

The solution combines two independent profiles on one SIM card. This creates an additional fallback layer directly in the product design. The SIM decides locally when a switch is required, without companies having to install additional apps or manually trigger profile changes.

Standard IoT connectivity

  • Focus on coverage and price
  • Usually one primary profile
  • Roaming as the network coverage logic
  • Limited control in case of disruption

For applications where downtime is costly or risky

2CoreSIM is suitable for applications where stable connectivity is essential for operation. Wherever data must be transmitted reliably, resilient connectivity can create direct operational value.


2CoreSIM is especially relevant for companies and organisations whose applications must remain reliably connected even during network disruptions, fluctuating coverage or technical failures.

Future network layers

Satellite and short-range radio added as connectivity needs grow.

Resilience by design

2CoreSIM embeds reliability directly into the SIM. The solution reduces customer-side complexity because no manual profile control on the device is required.

Key benefits:

  • Less operational complexity
  • Higher availability for critical applications
  • Automated fallback layer in case of disruption
  • Better control over business-critical IoT connectivity
  • Future-proof basis for eUICC, eSIM and SGP.32 scenarios
