IoT connectivity is evolving from a technical prerequisite into a strategic component of the IoT architecture. With the introduction of the GSMA SGP.32 standard, a new approach to eSIM provisioning and management in IoT environments emerges. At the center of this approach is the eUICC IoT Manager (eIM), which—together with the IoT Profile Assistant (IPA) and SM-DP+—creates a clear separation between device interaction, orchestration, and profile storage.
Where previous eSIM standards were largely operator-driven or consumer-oriented, SGP.32 shifts control to the organization itself. The eIM acts as a central management layer that determines when and under what conditions eSIM profiles are downloaded, activated, or switched. This makes connectivity a controllable and integrable part of the broader IoT and IT architecture.
This approach reduces operator dependency, supports compliance with local regulations, and improves manageability for large-scale, international IoT deployments with long device lifecycles. As such, SGP.32 with eIM is particularly relevant for organizations that deploy IoT strategically and require flexibility, governance, and future-proof connectivity.
More and more organizations are becoming concerned about the upcoming phase-out of 2G and 3G networks worldwide. In this article, we summarize the Network Sunset updates, including changes and additions from recent months.
When deploying IoT solutions, situations often arise where multiple IoT connectivity providers (MNOs, MVNOs) are used in parallel. This may be driven by technical requirements, commercial considerations, legacy systems, or operational strategy. In such cases, fragmented management across multiple connectivity management platforms is undesirable. A combined data pool offers a solution for these challenges.
With a combined data pool, SIM cards from different network providers (operators) share one central data bundle. This provides insight, control, and scalability—without dependency on a single network or operator (MNO or MVNO).
Met een gecombineerde datapool delen simkaarten van verschillende netwerkaanbieders (operators) dezelfde centrale databundel. Dat levert inzicht, controle en schaalbaarheid. Zonder afhankelijkheid van één netwerk of operator (MNO of MVNO).
In 2025, it became clear that industrial technology has definitively entered a new phase. AI and edge computing are no longer futuristic concepts—they’re operational reality. Thingsdata identifies five trends that are having an immediate impact on organizations working with IoT solutions, smart assets, and international connectivity.
