rSIM is the world’s first truly resilient and intelligent SIM card that monitors connectivity and actively switches profiles for maximum uptime. The launch will see rSIM technology made available to all 4G products in Careium’s Eliza range of technology-enabled care (TEC) solutions, including existing devices already deployed. The announcement comes alongside the extension of CSL’s 15-year strategic partnership with Careium.
rSIM offers the TEC industry many benefits, including local roaming to all UK networks on both profiles and access to CSL’s VPN infrastructure. rSIM uses new patented technology to check its own network connectivity and automatically switch providers in the event of a disruption, minimizing the risk of the SIM card and device being disconnected in the event of a power outage. With two independent mobile operator profiles stored on a single SIM card, rSIM significantly reduces the risk of outages by switching to a backup mobile operator profile if an outage is detected. This can make the difference between immediate assistance and a worsening of the situation, for example after a fall.
“This is an important innovation that we have been working on with CSL for many years. Even short-term disruptions to connectivity uptime create significant service risks and we needed a solution to minimize this,” said Christian Walén, President and CEO of Careium. “rSIM revolutionizes connectivity resilience by constantly monitoring available networks and finding the best route to connect. Our users are safer than ever knowing that Careium and CSL, both leaders in quality and innovation, guarantee the highest level of critical connectivity for their TEC devices. rSIM is backward compatible with our existing devices in the field, meaning our customers can upgrade seamlessly, improving their resilience and ensuring the consumers they care for can live safe, wealthy and active lives . »
Ed Heale, Chairman and CEO of CSL, commented: “This launch marks another significant milestone in the partnership between CSL and Careium. Having worked closely together for almost 15 years, supporting vulnerable citizens across Europe , the rSIM rollout is the next step in our vision to deliver uninterrupted connectivity solutions to the sector. CSL’s fully managed service, combined with rSIM’s patented technology to actively switch profiles to maximise uptime and minimise downtime, means we continue to support Careium in delivering a world-class TEC solution.”
