HAMILTON, Bermuda, Dec. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Paradise Mobile, a new mobile operator based in Bermuda, has chosen Thales' connectivity services to deliver the smoothest experience possible for users connecting to its new ultrafast network. Thales's cloud-based connectivity management solution will give Paradise Mobile's customers the freedom to instantly and remotely activate and update subscriptions for smartphones and other devices fitted with an eSIM, anytime and anywhere.

Launched recently, Paradise Mobile's network is built on the simple promise of 'fast, reliable mobile that just works'. In addition to setting new standards in convenience for subscribers, Paradise Mobile intends to introduce the network speeds and capacity necessary to attract hi-tech enterprises to Bermuda. In the longer term, Paradise Mobile intends to expand throughout the Caribbean and accelerate its development in order to handle the exponential increase of eSIM activation worldwide (expected to reach 2.4 billion^[1] active eSIM subscriptions for smartphones by 2025).
