This guide explains how to deploy and activate the emnify Consumer eSIM Global using Omnissa Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM). It includes instructions for checking device compatibility, enrolling Apple devices, ordering eSIM profiles, activating them remotely through Workspace ONE UEM, and configuring the APN settings.
This process is tailored to enterprise environments using Apple devices with Workspace ONE UEM and Apple Business Manager.
Before proceeding, ensure that your devices meet the minimum system requirements for Workspace ONE UEM:
Before activating the eSIM, devices must be enrolled in Workspace ONE UEM. Apple devices should first be registered in Apple Business Manager to use Automated Device Enrollment (ADE).
Register devices in Apple Business Manager.
See Device deployment in Apple Business Manager for reference.
Enroll devices via ADE in Workspace ONE UEM
See Automated Device Enrollment in Omnissa MDM for integration instructions.
Install the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub app from the App Store on each device.
Enroll your Apple device with Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub.
See Hub-Based Enrollment for requirements and instructions.
Integrate the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub app with the Workspace ONE UEM.
See Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub for iOS for configuration details.
For assistance, contact your designated Omnissa Technical Account Manager.
For your first eSIM profile order, contact your emnify sales representative. emnify activates the ordering of eSIM profiles in the Webshop for you.
Once the eSIM is available in the Webshop, you can use the regular ordering of SIMs.
The emnify Webshop is currently in development. eSIM fulfillment isn’t yet automated and it may take 1-2 business days until the eSIM appears in your account.
Before sending the activation command, make sure:
Most devices complete activation within 2-3 minutes of issuing the refresh command, assuming network connectivity is stable.
After activation, the Access Point Name (APN) must be set to em.
You can configure the APN:
For individual devices:
For multiple devices:
Platform support may vary. Available APN configuration options depend on the device’s operating system (for example, Android or iOS) and its management mode (for example, Work Managed or BYOD).
For detailed guidance on creating and deploying APN profiles, see Add a Device Profile in the Omnissa documentation.
Once the APN is set, the device establishes data connection. You can verify by browsing the internet or streaming videos.
