RiPSIM Technologies to Allow Wireless Service Providers to Design, Develop and Deliver eSIMs At Any Time.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, March 28, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Virginia Venture Partners, the equity investment program of Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC), today announced an investment in RiPSIM Technologies, Inc. McLean, Va.-based RiPSIM has produced the world’s first software-defined end-to-end eSIM ecosystem that allows wireless service providers, or enterprise network operators, to design, develop and download eSIMs at any time, either from their own private cloud environment, that of their contracted secure cloud service provider or from RiPSIM directly. RiPSIM will use this investment for commercialization of RiPSIM’s software and help accelerate go-to-market strategy.

Third-party SIM vendors generally provide services using outdated business models that are heavily transactional. Even with the transition to digital SIMs, wireless service providers, and private networks, are still hampered by the walled gardens that have been erected by the 30 year old SIM industry. With
the industry’s first fully integrated eSIM solution for wireless service providers, RiPSIM has set out to change that. By using RiPSIM's Software Suite as a service or in their cloud, users will have a better, faster and more secure solution available to them all while enjoying better economics.

“At RiPSIM, we strive to solve one of the biggest challenges in the wireless industry – frustratingly slow and costly services provided by traditional SIM vendors,” says Chris Jahr, CEO and Co-Founder. “We believe every service provider should have full control over, and access to their eSIM credentials and
with RiPSIM, they can do that. We are grateful for the support of VIPC’s Virginia Venture Partners investment to further our vision.”

Being the world's first software-defined end-to-end eSIM ecosystem, RiPSIM’s patent-pending technology eliminates the outsourcing of eSIM creation, generation and delivery to costly middlemen that undermines WSPs' and private networks' ability to remain flexible, competitive and profitable. Over
the past 12 months, RiPSIM has developed a Minimum Viable Product and expanded this into a Beta, landing customer trials,, closed a seed funding round, garnered interest from global and domestic tier one wireless carriers and carrier groups, as well private network operators.

“RiPSIM has demonstrated a wide range of accomplishments in just the last year alone. RiPSIM is giving new life to wireless service providers and private 5G network operators,” says Tom Weithman, VIPC Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director of Virginia Venture Partners. “Their dedicated and
accomplished team has developed custom software solutions, designed new technologies, and commercially launched them all. They are taking the wireless world head on, and we are thrilled to be a part of their continued growth.”
