IoT Connect Podcast: Exploring SGP.32 The Next Evolution in eSIM Technology for IoT
Welcome to TEAL’s IoT Connect Podcast, where we’re diving deep into the most intriguing topics, trends, and developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. IoT Connect strives to bring you insights from industry leaders and innovators. In this episode, we are thrilled to have our CEO, Robby Hamblet on the show to discuss a groundbreaking advancement in eSIM technology— the SGP.32 standard.
The Emergence of SGP.32
Robby Hamblet joins us to unravel what SGP.32 is all about and why it’s being hailed as one of the most significant developments in the eSIM domain over the past decade. SGP standards, set by the GSMA (GSM Association), guide the technical design and deployment of eSIMs or eUICCs. The newly introduced SGP.32 standard, tailored specifically for IoT devices with network constraints, promises a revolutionary approach to remote provisioning.
The Evolution of eSIM Standards
The evolution of eSIM standards has been marked by transformative changes:
- SGP.02: Initially developed for automotive OEMs, this standard allowed manufacturers to ship a single SKU globally.
- SGP.22: Addressed interoperability needs, commonly used in consumer electronics like smartphones.
The journey towards creating SGP.32 involved tackling various challenges and integrating valuable lessons from its predecessors, SGP.02 and SGP.22, to form a robust, comprehensive framework.
Why SGP.32 is a Game Changer
SGP.32 is designed to dismantle the barriers and ‘islands’ that previously limited eSIM applicability:
- Enhanced Flexibility and Interoperability: Operators can deliver a standardized solution to multiple equipment vendors without bespoke adjustments for each device.
- Seamless Global Deployment: OEMs can now embrace a singular global SKU, bypassing constraints of being locked into a single network or isolated system.
The SGP.32 standard introduces significant improvements for:
- Device OEMs: They can seamlessly move between networks and platforms, gaining unprecedented flexibility.
- Factory Provisioning: Devices will be shipped with blank eSIMs, allowing for final configuration in the field, akin to practices by major smartphone manufacturers.
Looking Forward: Meet TEAL at CES 2025
With the first certifications for the SGP.32 card operating system expected in Q1, the industry is on the brink of experiencing this monumental shift. Robby shares his excitement about showcasing TEAL’s innovations at CES 2025:
Why Meet with TEAL at CES?
