Recognized for Transforming Global Connectivity With Zero-Touch eSIM Provisioning via MDM
VIENNA, May 14, 2025 – emnify, a global leader in cloud-native IoT connectivity, has been named eSIM Provider of the Year at the MVNOs World Awards 2025. The award ceremony took place on May 13, at the historic Wiener Börsensäle in Vienna, celebrating industry excellence and innovation in cellular connectivity. 
emnify was recognized for its breakthrough in remote eSIM provisioning via Mobile Device Management (MDM)—a solution redefining how businesses can rapidly connect and manage large fleets of devices globally. emnify has enabled Discover Airlines’ transition to eSIM-only iPads for Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) by providing instant over-the-air provisioning and connectivity management eradicating the need for QR codes and activation links. This ensures fast, secure deployments with full visibility, policy enforcement and cost control—at scale.
“Our mission is to remove any friction from global connectivity,” said Martin Giess Founding CTO of emnify. “We are honored to receive this award as it reflects our commitment to simplifying global connectivity and giving enterprises the control they need to scale—securely and without limits.”
The solution is already powering over 1,800 flight crew iPads across 50+ countries for Discover Airlines, part of the Lufthansa Group. With zero-touch provisioning, tablets are shipped directly to users and activated remotely, streamlining operations and drastically reducing deployment complexity and costs. emnify’s platform also enforces security policies at the network level. Features such as DNS filtering and self-configured data limits enable administrators to have complete control over connectivity spending.
“emnify’s solution transformed our device rollout and data control strategy,” said Jonas Becker, EFB Administrator at Discover Airlines. “What used to take weeks of coordination and physical SIM handling now happens automatically through our MDM—securely, globally and at scale. It’s not just a technical upgrade—it’s a transformation in how we operate.”
“The requirement for reliable connectivity via Consumer eSIM is set to increase rapidly as more device manufacturers make the switch to eSIM-only devices and emnify promises to set the standard for speed, control and security in the next generation of mobile connectivity,” said Frank Stoecker, CEO of emnify.
This recognition marks a milestone not just for emnify, but for the broader shift toward smarter, more autonomous device connectivity. As industries continue to adopt eSIM-only hardware and scale connected operations globally, emnify remains at the forefront—committed to building the infrastructure that makes secure, scalable, and software-driven connectivity the new standard.
