Qualify EdgeUplink on your silicon.

Free EdgeUplink eSIM samples for semiconductor OEMs, module makers, and dev kit teams to validate cellular IoT connectivity on your platform. We send the SIMs, you run the bring-up, we collaborate on a formal SDK integration if it works for both sides.

Open to all silicon vendors·MFF2 + removable form factors·Dedicated technical contact·No commitment

Built for the silicon side of cellular IoT.

If your team makes cellular IoT modules, MCU/SoC silicon with cellular modems, or dev kits that include cellular connectivity — this program is for you. The samples are free, the technical engagement is real, and the path to formal partnership is on the table.

// 01

Module makers

Quectel, u-blox, Sierra Wireless, Telit, Sequans — any cellular IoT module vendor whose customers need global eSIM connectivity bundled with the module.

// 02

SoC / SiP vendors

Silicon vendors integrating cellular modems into chip-scale packages — Nordic-style SiPs, Qualcomm IoT silicon, MediaTek IoT lines, custom ASIC designs.

// 03

Dev kit teams

Ecosystem teams shipping reference designs and developer kits — anyone enabling third-party developers to prototype cellular IoT on your silicon.

// 04

Field application engineers

FAEs at semiconductor companies whose customers keep asking "what eSIM do you recommend for global deployment?" — give them an answer that's been validated.

A real exchange, not a press-release partnership.

We send free eSIMs to qualify on your silicon. You give us back a brief validation report or a technical contact. From there, the formal partnership conversation is on the table — but only if it makes sense for both sides. No marketing-only engagements.

// You receive

Sample kit, free of charge

  • 5–10 free eSIMs in MFF2 solderable or removable form factor (your call)
  • iMatrix Cloud account for SIM management, usage telemetry, and OTA profile switching
  • API key with full REST + webhook access in test-mode sandbox
  • Dedicated technical contact at iMatrix engineering — direct email, no support queue
  • 3 months free data across all 5 EdgeUplink coverage zones for validation testing
  • No NDA required for the sample stage — just send us your team's contact info
// We ask for

A real technical evaluation

  • Technical contact at your team — typically an FAE or modem engineer
  • Reference design info on the module/silicon you're qualifying with
  • Brief validation report after testing — what worked, what didn't, what you'd want changed
  • Optional: NDA + roadmap if the engagement extends to formal SDK integration
  • Optional: joint case study if a customer reference makes sense — never required
  • Honest feedback — even if the answer is "your eSIM doesn't fit our roadmap," tell us

Sample quantities and free-data windows confirmed by iMatrix engineering at intake. Adjusts for module-vendor scale.

Where the program stands today.

Nordic Semiconductor is the launch partner — formal SDK integration shipping. Other major silicon vendors are on the evaluation path or in customer-driven discussions. Joining as a sample-stage partner gets you on the roadmap conversation.

Silicon Qualification Program

All fields are required unless marked optional. We use this information to confirm the program fit and ship the right sample form factor.

By submitting, you agree to be contacted by an iMatrix engineer within one business day. No marketing sequences. Your information is used only to fulfill the sample request.

Form currently submits via mailto:. Switch to a real backend before launch.

From request to shipped samples — typically under a week.

Submit form

Fill out the qualification form above. We confirm intake within one business day with a real human reply.

Day 0 → Day 1

Quick scoping call

15–30 minutes with an iMatrix engineer to confirm form factor, quantities, target use case, and any technical constraints.

Day 1 → Day 3

Samples shipped

eSIMs ship via standard ground (US) or international tracked. iMatrix Cloud account credentials sent the same day.

Day 3 → Day 7

Validation & follow-up

Run your bring-up. Brief validation report back to us. We discuss formal SDK integration if it makes sense.

Week 2 → Week 6
