What does the 2G and 3G shutdown mean for melita.io SIM and eSIM customers?

If your device hardware supports 4G, LTE-M or NB-IoT, a melita.io SIM or eSIM handles the network transition automatically. Our multi-network SIMs connect to the strongest available network across more than 185 countries, so your fleet is not locked to any single operator’s shutdown timeline or coverage footprint.

melita.io supports GSMA SGP.22 for IoT eSIM, with SGP.32 on our roadmap, giving you a scalable path for large fleet management as the eSIM ecosystem matures. The one thing you need to verify on your side is the device hardware itself. If it only supports 2G or 3G radios, no SIM can work around that, and the hardware will need to be upgraded before the shutdown reaches your market. With the support of its international solutions partners, melita.io can help you assess your fleet and identify which devices can migrate remotely and which need hardware replacement.
