Can global IoT ever be seamless? The power of eSIM, SGP.32 and satellite networks

Brought to you by IoT Now, host Jim Morrish of Transforma Insights talks to Sam Colley from Giesecke+Devrient about the quest for truly global IoT connectivity. They explore how the new SGP.32 eSIM standard is transforming deployments, why MVNOs are finding fresh relevance and how non-terrestrial networks may fill the gaps that cellular never can. From energy grid failures to Scania’s worldwide fleets, find out how enterprises are navigating complexity. Plus, in “What the Tech?”, we reveal brain-stress tattoos and the unintended effects of the UK’s Online Safety Act.

Also, in this episode: 

  • How Europe’s energy grid struggles with heatwaves highlight the critical role of IoT in utilities.
  • Why SGP.32 could be the game-changer for scaling global IoT deployments.
  • The promise and pitfalls of blending terrestrial and satellite networks for mission-critical applications.

What is SGP.32 and why does it matter for IoT?

SGP.32 improves interoperability and lowers the cost and complexity of adopting eSIM at scale, enabling remote profile management for global IoT fleets.

Why are MVNOs gaining importance in IoT?

They provide multi-MNO flexibility, coverage and cost optimization, often with a single management interface.

How do non-terrestrial networks (NTN) complement cellular?

Satellites fill coverage gaps and serve as a backup for mission-critical applications, especially in remote areas.
