KPN IoT announced the launch of its eSIM technology, which is compliant with the latest eSIM IoT specification, the SGP.32 standard. The solution, which was developed in partnership with IDEMIA Secure Transactions, strengthens KPN IoT’s commitment in delivering the best in IoT connectivity.
“Our knowledge and experience combined with IDEMIA Secure Transactions’ expertise in eSIM technology, allows us to confidently introduce this next generation eSIM solution,” said Carolien Nijhuis, EVP of KPN IoT. “The arrival of SGP.32 will revolutionise eSIM connectivity for IoT use cases. The specification eliminates previously encountered eSIM barriers, offering unprecedented flexibility without lock-ins or hefty infrastructure investments, empowering businesses to seamlessly expand their eSIM deployments on a global scale.”
One of the first to benefit from KPN IoT’s eSIM technology is Trackunit, a construction technology company managing three million connected assets across 200+ countries. Through using KPN IoT’s existing RSP capabilities, Trackunit has noticeably streamlined its global fleet management.
“Trackunit operates on a global scale, often deploying devices in unpredictable regions,” said Daniel Kanstrup Conradsen, Head of Engineering, Trackunit. “With KPN IoT’s eSIM and RSP services, we can equip every device with a single eSIM setup at the manufacturing stage, making sure they work out of the box regardless of where in the world they surface. They must work now, tomorrow, and 5 years from now. The SGP.32 platform is essential in ensuring the longevity of our solution, in the sense that it allows our customers to be flexible and scale across borders, seamlessly complying with roaming restrictions without operational disruptions. To have this level of control, with KPN IoT’s expertise as a strong backbone, is a game changer for us.”
KPN IoT believes the new SGP.32 standard offers traditional and next-generation connectivity, with full remote control over eSIMs without costly infrastructure investments. Customers also benefit from a security root of trust, increased flexibility, and reduced long-term operational costs by avoiding operator lock-ins.
KPN IoT also supports customers who already own devices with eSIMs onboard and require integration of the company’s eSIM into their solutions. By partnering with IDEMIA Secure Transactions, the company is further enhancing its eSIM capabilities.
“We are excited about the future. From global OEMs to automotive enterprises, our IoT RSP solution demonstrates our focus on providing businesses with unparalleled connectivity solutions that drive growth,” concluded Nijhuis.
