Soracom has launched commercially available SGP.32-compatible IoT eSIMs and an accompanying orchestration platform, becoming one of the latest connectivity providers to bring the new GSMA remote SIM provisioning standard into general deployment.
The company said its Connectivity Hypervisor service and SGP.32 eSIMs are now available for purchase, moving the offering from a pre-order phase into full commercial availability.
SGP.32 is designed to address a longstanding challenge in IoT connectivity: allowing enterprises to remotely manage operator profiles on unattended devices such as utility meters, asset trackers and connected vehicles without relying on carrier-controlled provisioning models or user interfaces that most IoT devices lack.
Soracom said the platform would allow customers to add, remove and switch between multiple mobile operator profiles on remote eSIMs through a single API and management console. The service also supports automation rules that can change profiles based on deployment region, regulatory requirements or application needs.
For companies deploying connected devices across multiple countries, the ability to manufacture a single hardware SKU and switch operator profiles in the field has become increasingly important as permanent-roaming restrictions tighten in some markets.
Kenta Yasukawa, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Soracom, said the company had built the orchestration infrastructure in anticipation of wider adoption of SGP.32.
“Commercial availability means a customer can order a device today that activates through Soracom and has the capability to add and remove profiles in the field, eliminating the need to prepare different SKUs even when deployments cross a border.”
The launch adds to growing industry momentum behind SGP.32, which has emerged as the GSMA’s preferred framework for remote SIM provisioning in IoT deployments. Earlier standards either maintained significant operator control over profile management or assumed the presence of a user interface, making them less suitable for many industrial and embedded devices.
Soracom said its Connectivity Hypervisor could orchestrate both Soracom profiles and third-party mobile network operator profiles, with a fallback capability designed to maintain connectivity if a target profile is unavailable.
The company demonstrated a forthcoming version of the platform at its Soracom Discovery 2026 conference, showing unified management of connections from multiple operators through a single control plane. Wider availability of that capability remains dependent on partner operators completing profile integrations.
Soracom, which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, provides cellular and satellite IoT connectivity services in more than 200 countries and territories. The company said the new eSIMs are available in both removable card and embedded chip forms.
