Gemini PDA is one of the first to use the tech

Planet Computers today announces eSIM capability on the Gemini PDA – making it one of the first consumer electronics devices to incorporate the technology fully.

Gemini PDA will feature an embedded SIM (eSIM) chip, developed by German technology company Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) Mobile Security, alongside its physical micro-SIM slot.

The inclusion of eSIM allows users to run dual mobile operator accounts at once, without the need to continuously swap out SIM cards. By incorporating both physical and embedded SIM chips, the Gemini PDA enables users to have a permanent home subscription and multiple eSIM subscriptions for local telecoms operators when travelling.

The technology speeds up the process of switching carriers, as consumers will no longer need to wait for a physical SIM card to arrive. Gemini owners can use the eSIM as the designated SIM for voice calls, text messages and mobile internet access.

Having demonstrated eSIM functionality on the Gemini, the device is now available for mobile operators to test as part of upcoming eSIM trials.
