What Redtea Mobile does
Redtea Mobile is a private eSIM and Connectivity-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Singapore, with a regional operating hub in Shenzhen, China. The company builds the orchestration layer that allows mobile operators, OEMs, chipset vendors, module manufacturers, and IoT enterprises to remotely provision and manage cellular connectivity without physical SIM cards. Its technology stack includes a GSMA-compliant SM-DP+ Remote SIM Provisioning platform, an in-house Entitlement Server (TSE) that meets Apple OEM standards, an SGP.32-compliant eSIM IoT Manager (eIM), and a proprietary nuSIM OS integrated into chipsets from Qualcomm and Nordic Semiconductor and modules from Quectel. Redtea Mobile holds GSMA SAS-SM certification (extended in 2024-2025 to cover cloud and IoT per SGP.32), TÜV NORD SEAL-4 certification for nuSIM, and ASPICE Level 2 certification for automotive software processes.
The company monetizes through four primary revenue streams: (1) eSIM Connectivity-as-a-Service subscriptions for IoT and consumer deployments (RedteaReady and RedteaGO), billed per device or per data volume; (2) RSP platform licensing and provisioning fees (SM-DP+, Entitlement Server, eIM) to MNOs and MVNOs; (3) usage-based consumer data plans sold via the RedteaGO iOS app at roughly $9.99-$12.99 per 1GB/30-day plan across 50+ countries; and (4) nuSIM/iSIM OS licensing royalties from chipset and module partners. Its commercial footprint spans 200+ countries, 60+ network operator and OEM/chip/module partners, and 500M+ devices with embedded eSIM capability, with 100M+ registered users across consumer services. Strategic equity investors include Qualcomm (the only eSIM company Qualcomm has invested in) and OPPO, and in January 2026 the company reorganized into Redtea Mobile Group, splitting operations into Redtea Mobile Global and Redtea Mobile China to pursue multinational enterprise and OEM business alongside the Chinese device and industrial ecosystem.

Revenue model
- eSIM Connectivity-as-a-Service (CaaS): Redtea Mobile delivers cellular connectivity as a packaged service, bundling eSIM capability, remote provisioning, global network coverage, and connectivity management. Revenue is generated through recurring data plan subscriptions and usage-based billing for IoT and consumer connectivity. For IoT deployments, customers pay for connectivity services on a per-device or data volume basis, eliminating the need for physical SIM procurement and management.
- eSIM Platform Licensing and Provisioning Services: Redtea Mobile provides RSP platform (SM-DP+), Entitlement Server, and eIM services to MNOs and MVNOs. Revenue is generated through platform licensing, provisioning fees per profile, and subscription fees for hosted/cloud-based platform access. GSMA SAS-SM certified platform enables operators to deploy eSIM commercial solutions quickly.
- Consumer eSIM Data Plans (RedteaGO): Consumer users purchase pay-as-you-go data plans via the RedteaGO app. Plans are priced per gigabyte for defined validity periods (e.g., 1GB for 30 days at $9.99-$12.99 depending on region). Revenue is usage-based with no long-term commitment required from consumers.
- nuSIM / iSIM OS Licensing: Redtea Mobile's nuSIM OS is embedded into chipsets and modules from partners including Nordic Semiconductor and Qualcomm. Revenue is generated through licensing of the SIM OS to chipset/module manufacturers and through provisioning fees when profiles are loaded onto devices.
Pricing tiers
| Model | Billing | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Usage-based | Pay-as-you-go | Asia data plan - 1GB for 30 days at $9.99 |
| Usage-based | Pay-as-you-go | Europe and North America data plan - 1GB for 30 days at $12.99 |
