London based Startup QuarkSe and Etisalat launch eSIM-enabled Supercar at GITEX London, October 19, 2016: Today marks a turning point in state-of-the-art car-design and technology, as the world?s very first eSIM enabled Supercar is launched by the start-up QuarkSe, the global leader in eSIM technology, and a driving force for exciting developments in IoT (Internet of Things), in partnership with Rimac and Etisalat in UEA.
