While eSIM technology is already utilised across IoT deployments, the introduction of GSMA’s dedicated eSIM IoT Specification (SGP.32) is set to accelerate uptake across a broader range of use-cases and verticals.
By introducing new features to simplify the remote provisioning and management of constrained IoT devices, SGP.32 is a significant opportunity for mobile operators and IoT device manufacturers to address challenges that have tempered IoT adoption to date.
Yet to fully realise the benefits, it is important to understand the drivers, implications and applications of the new specification.
To help the industry prepare as adoption builds, TCA’s Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) Working Group has published a new whitepaper: ‘Realising the Benefits of GSMA’s eSIM IoT Specification (SGP.32)’.
In the new paper, the RSP Working Group:
- Explains the key drivers behind the development of SGP.32 and how it builds upon the existing eSIM Consumer and M2M specifications.
- Outlines the new features introduced in SGP.32 and how they simplify the deployment and management of constrained IoT devices at scale.
- Discusses the various benefits that SGP.32 delivers across IoT use-cases that leverage constrained devices, from automotive to logistics and transport and healthcare.
- Highlights the testing and compliance considerations of SGP.32 for operators and device manufacturers.
- Reaffirms TCA’s commitment to promoting and enabling security and interoperability as adoption of SGP.32 builds.
