MVNOs, enterprises and device makers are ready to embrace the first eSIMs based on the GSMA SGP.32 standard, due for launch in the second half of 2025. This is a seminal moment for global IoT, because it extends the remote provisioning capabilities already established for smartphones to resource-constrained IoT devices with limited or nonexistent UIs. This will enable global deployment of IoT devices without having to cater for variations between countries that would involve complex and specific eSIM integrations. IoT platform provider Soracom was correct to state recently that “introduction of SIMs incorporating the capabilities outlined in the SGP.32 standard provides a missing piece that will finally make eSIM technology practical for large IoT deployments that rely on cellular IoT…
