Each year, Pakistan allocates a large amount of budget to its technology department in an attempt to improve it. Pakistan is planning to begin manufacturing local SIM cards and smart cards in order to protect the country from cyber-attacks. In addition to creating jobs, this will also save a considerable amount of foreign exchange and boost the sector.
As a result, the government is ready to become self-sufficient in cyberspace. To manufacture SIM cards and smart cards, the Pakistani government is likely to seek approval from the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC). The ministry has also cited several reasons for making chips and cards locally.
In accordance with official sources, local physical SIM manufacturers are planning to establish eSIM management platforms as well as offer eSIM products to mobile cellular operators.
A primary objective of the Pakistani government is the development of an enabling ecosystem although SIM cards and smart cards play a pivotal role in digital services.
Local production of SIM cards will undoubtedly benefit the economy and technology infrastructure. Currently, SIMs are imported in massive quantities.
After facing severe issues, the government had already introduced the Smartphone manufacturing policy. As a result of Indian-manufactured smartphones using other countries the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is used to identify wireless devices uniquely.
According to official sources, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) fully supports the requisite role of authorization. This also applies to compliance and SIM card manufacturing.
Additionally, the local SIM manufacturing industry plays a vital role in creating sustainable economic growth in many national economies.
Taking this step will boost the economy by creating jobs, generating tax income, and saving precious foreign exchange according to the analysis from a business perspective. Furthermore, it will provide academia with another practical dimension in research and development.
The emergence of technology and the evolution of SIM technology have led to the development of new variants of SIMs including embedded SIMs, soft SIMs, and integrated SIMs.
In the future, local material SIM manufacturers may establish eSIM management platforms and offer eSIM products to CMOs.
