Environment
Device: Quectel's QuecOpen SDK
incl. Quectel EG912U-GL, EG912U-EAL, EG915U-EU, EG915U-LA, etc.
SIM type: SoftSIM
Question
How to test SoftSIM on one of Quectel's QuecOpen SDKs?
Can I test SoftSIM on other Quectel modules, besides EG21 and EG25?
Answer
Although not paired with an official firmware release, SoftSIM can be tested on 25+ modules within Quectel's QuecOpen SDK.
Follow the instructions in GitHub.
For SoftSIM to work, you need to obtain the keys and data that would otherwise be found in your physical SIM. This is done using what we call a SoftSIM profile. Get your free SoftSIM profile by signing up for a free trial or reaching out to your dedicated contact person at Onomondo.
Cause
SoftSIM is only officially supported on Quectel's EG21-G / EG21-GL / EG25-GL modules.
However, by sharing the open source SoftSIM implementation, we hope to empower developers to create innovative cellular device designs using a wider variety of devices within Quectel's offering.
Instead of shipping pre-built firmware packages that are difficult to explore, we’re consolidating everything in one place so you can build your own firmware. You gain complete control, and we step aside because the entire ecosystem benefits when developers get to refine and enhance the foundation we’ve established to align with their specific use case.
By open-sourcing this project, we encourage you to use our reference implementation as your starting point for building similar solutions in your own environments. That’s what we think SoftSIM is really about: giving you the tools to make it your own.
