It can hold multiple mobile profiles simultaneously and can be re-configured ‘over the air’ (OTA) with profile selection rules.  ![eSIM](https://info.jola.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/eSIM.jpg?width=1200&name=eSIM.jpg) **What are the key features of eSIM?** - Network providers can be changed without swapping out the SIMs. - You can pick the tariff required based on the amount of data the customer needs and the country (or countries) that the SIM will operate in to reduce roaming costs. - There is no faster way to gain access to 5G, LTE-M and NB-IoT across multiple networks, than by using eSIM due to its inherent ability to be reprogrammed to support new networks and new technologies. [**Fixed IP eSIMs**](https://www.jola.co.uk/packages/jola-mobile/esims/) GSMA-compliant fixed IP eSIMs offer un-steered roaming coverage across multiple networks and negate the need for static private IP or NAT. Network-agnostic fixed IP eSIMs are a cheaper alternative to most single-network static IP SIMs, whilst also providing an insurance policy against switching-cost lock-in. ## [L2TP eSIMs](https://www.jola.co.uk/packages/jola-mobile/esims/) ISPs have used wholesale L2TP tunnels since the launch of ADSL broadband in the UK. Wholesale mobile access from eSIMs is available via L2TP. You can cross-connect at layer 2 directly into a resilient eSIM MVNO platform. [**Jola**](http://www.jola.co.uk/) [Jola](http://www.jola.co.uk) is a global IoT MVNO, providing the UK’s first multi-network eSIM built for the channel. [e-SIMs](https://www.jola.co.uk/packages/jola-mobile/esims/) give partners ultimate choice and control, whilst solving the biggest mobile data problem facing their end users – how to automatically connect any device to any network, anywhere in the world. GSMA-compliant eSIMs give Jola partners a truly un-steered, multi-network roaming connection. Network-agnostic eSIMs offer an alternative to MNO contract lock-ins and save customers the pain and expense of swapping out SIMs. [Jola](http://www.jola.co.uk) has deployed a UK-based, resilient MVNO mobile core network, with global connectivity to over 450 networks in nearly 200 countries, and local connectivity with all four UK mobile networks. UK-based interconnects and breakout ensure the traffic stays in the UK. [**Mobile Manager**](https://www.jola.co.uk/packages/jola-mobile/mobile-manager/) Mobile Manager is our online management portal for ordering and managing estates of eSIMs. This white label portal communicates in real-time with 4G and 5G networks and can be used by both resellers and their end users. Mobile Manager handles eSIM activations, ceases, suspensions, reports, alerts and bolt-ons. eSIM is the key to unlocking the IoT and mobile data opportunity for the channel. We believe every partner has at least one large IoT/M2M deal in their customer base and our mission is to help them find them – and win them. To find out more, request our Partner Pack.
