Thales is playing a key role in the end-to-end cloud-native mobile network, operated by Rakuten Mobile, a dynamic entrant into the Japanese market.

Thales' eSIM technology also plays a key role in the development of Rakuten Mobile's innovative 4G and 5G smartphones.

As well as digitalising the customer experience, this digital-first strategy increases Rakuten Mobile's operational efficiency.

Rakuten Mobile is using Thales' eSIMs in its 4G & 5G smartphones: the Rakuten Mini, the Rakuten Hand and the 5G compatible Rakuten BIG. Reflecting these benefits, the GSMA predicts there will be 2.4 billion eSIM smartphone connections worldwide by 2025.

"Rakuten Mobile has embarked on a journey of innovation to create a new generation of cloud-based mobile services. Thales' innovative eSIM solutions enable us to offer a quicker, smoother onboarding process to our customers and deliver a fully digitised but secure user experience," said Tareq Amin, Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO, Rakuten Mobile.

"Rakuten Mobile's strategy is focused on offering the convenience of a self-service onboarding for their customers. We are thrilled that our eSIM management solutions are helping Rakuten Mobile improve their customer experience with a secure digital enrolment and out of the box subscription delivery. This new 5G era boosted by Thales eSIM also addresses promising new consumer IoT use cases," said Emmanuel Unguran, Thales SVP for Mobile Connectivity Solutions.
