Uptake of embedded SIM (eSIM) in IoT has been significantly simplified and is set to accelerate thanks to the introduction of the ‘made-for-IoT’ SGP.32 eSIM specification from GSMA. SGP.32 brings a highly scalable framework for efficient management of eSIM profiles but the fragmented ecosystem of mobile network operators, connectivity management platforms and enterprise systems is still complex and inefficient. The ultimate goal of frictionless automation of cellular IoT connectivity depends on global execution continuity and demands simple network orchestration alongside eSIM provisioning and orchestration, as well as trusted security capabilities.
To close the loop on SGP.32’s potential and ease the adoption and execution for IoT operations, Thales and Simetric announced a new partnership in the run up to MWC26 Barcelona.
