eUICC
Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card

Unlike a standard UICC or SIM, an eUICC is not intended to be removed or replaced in the cellular device and as such has been developed to satisfy the IoT market. Profiles can however be changed using the GSMA’s Remote SIM Provisioning standard enabling IoT Devices to switch between service providers without physically visiting / switching the SIM.
