Aeris, the secure connectivity platform for Physical AI and Intelligent IoT, has launched its next-generation Aeris eSIM Orchestrator (formerly eSIM Hub) for the Aeris IoT Accelerator global connectivity management platform. The enhanced solution introduces support for the GSMA SGP.32 specification for IoT eSIM remote management, Single SKU eSIM and Aeris eIM as a Service (eIMaaS), which come together to enable mobile network operators (MNOs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and enterprises to scale global IoT deployments while minimising complexity.
“The future of IoT is increasingly tied to the rise of Physical AI, as connected vehicles, machines and infrastructure become more intelligent and autonomous,” said Jon Connet, the chief product officer at Aeris. “That evolution demands connectivity that can adapt as devices move across markets and networks and requirements change. Our new IoT eSIM capabilities build on Aeris’ proven IoT platform leadership to make that possible at global scale.”
Aeris’ eSIM developments strengthen the Aeris IoT Accelerator platform, which manages 110 million IoT devices, 44 million of which are eSIM based, representing more than 40% of its installed base compared with 12% for the broader market. The platform is also growing more than 20% year over year, faster than the market overall.
Enabling frictionless eSIM operations across the device lifecycle
The launch adds support for the SGP.32 IoT eSIM specification for remote management to an environment that already supports the SGP.02 M2M eSIM and SGP.22 Consumer eSIM specifications. One connection to Aeris IoT Accelerator now gives customers access to a community of 30 operators with pre-integrated support across all three generations of eSIM standards.
Aeris is introducing three new capabilities to build on that foundation:
- Aeris SGP.32 eSIM Orchestrator for automated profile management. Instead of managing profiles device by device, customers can use policies and events to automate which local profile a device holds, when it downloads it, what it’s permitted to do and what happens when something fails.
- Aeris Single SKU eSIM for simpler global deployment. OEMs can build and ship one device variant globally, while enterprises can deploy the same device model across markets and assign the appropriate local operator profile after deployment. That reduces the need for market-specific SIM or device variants and lets connectivity decisions happen closer to deployment.
- Aeris eIMaaS or eIM integrations for flexible eSIM operations. Customers can use Aeris eIM as a Service (eIMaaS), a fully managed eSIM IoT remote Manager (eIM) integrated into IoT Accelerator to provide a turnkey solution for SGP.32 profile switching. Alternatively, customers can bring their own eIM of choice from eSIM vendors: Thales, G+D, Kigen and IDEMIA.
“For OEMs, MNOs and enterprises, the challenge isn’t changing a SIM profile on one device; it’s doing it reliably across thousands or millions of devices,” said Connet. “SGP.32 provides the foundation, but orchestration makes it work at global scale. Aeris enables customers to use the same IoT connectivity service across networks with local SIM profiles, combining the flexibility of roaming with the advantages of local connectivity.”
IoT eSIM scale and reach
Aeris IoT Accelerator serves more than 7,000 enterprises, with devices attaching in more than 200 countries every month. Around 70% of those attachments are on a partner’s own network rather than roaming.
Frost & Sullivan recognised Aeris as a Global Competitive Strategy Leader for IoT connectivity management in 2025 and 2026, while Counterpoint Research named Aeris an industry leader in its 2026 eSIM orchestration report.
Built for the Physical AI world
As connected systems become more intelligent and autonomous, their connectivity has to keep pace. Physical AI deployments such as autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics and smart infrastructure need to operate across markets and networks without manual reconfiguration as devices move or requirements evolve.
The expanded IoT eSIM orchestration offering gives Aeris IoT Accelerator another layer of control for the Physical AI environment. Policy-based management lets connectivity adapt remotely across markets and device lifecycles, while Single SKU eSIM and eIMaaS reduce deployment and operational complexity.
Aeris IoT Watchtower adds optional network-level security. Together, these capabilities bring connectivity, orchestration, security and control together for AI-powered vehicles, machines and infrastructure.
MNO partner perspectives
“The transition to IoT eSIM based on SGP.32 is not simply a technical upgrade; it’s a strategic enabler for enterprises managing connected devices across markets. Our collaboration with Aeris sets a strong benchmark for how operators and platform partners can deliver global eSIM orchestration in a way that’s practical, standards-compliant, and built for the realities of global IoT,” said Elisabeth Reille, the executive vice president of smart mobility services at Orange Business.
