Amdocs’ Cloud-Based Esim Platform, Pre-Integrated with All eSIM Manufacturers, Enables Simple, Intuitive and Hassle-Free Esim Activation and Digital Lifecycle Management

Amdocs , a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, continues to show business value and innovation with its cloud-based, digital eSIM platform, which enables service providers to activate and manage a wide range of eSIM-enabled devices. Today the company is announcing that Pelephone, a leading Israeli service provider, has gone live on the Amdocs eSIM platform, enabling Pelephone to launch eSIM-enabled devices in its market, starting with the Apple Watch. The launch follows Apple’s formal certification of the Pelephone offering supported by the Amdocs eSIM platform.

“Having a strong focus on consumer IoT, it’s important for us to quickly bring our customers the latest advancements, from watches to car applications,” said Nimrod Ben-Tov, chief technology officer at Pelephone. “Our go-live on the Amdocs eSIM platform required minimal effort from our network, IT and marketing teams. Given this platform’s low-risk business model, it makes little sense for service providers like ourselves to try and build our own solutions.”
