In this episode of the Trending Tech podcast, host Satyajit Sinha, principal analyst at IoT Analytics, is joined by Giesecke+Devrient’s (G+D) David Hambling, head of connectivity business development for Asia Pacific, to unpack what the new SGP.32 eSIM specification really means for the Internet of Things (IoT).

With IoT connections racing towards 39 billion by 2030, they explore why cellular is growing faster than the wider IoT market, how embedded SIM (eSIM) and integrated SIM (iSIM) adoption is accelerating, and why a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to connectivity is no longer realistic in today’s fragmented global landscape.

From GSMA-compliant SGP.32 and the role of the eIM, to in-factory provisioning (SGP.42), post-quantum security, automotive innovation and the rise of ‘born-connected’ devices, Satyajit and David explain how an end-to-end stack can deliver secure, scalable IoT connectivity for the next decade and what operators, OEMs and automotive manufacturers should be watching very closely over the next 24 months.

In this episode of the IoT Now Podcast, host George Malim explores the fast-evolving world of mission-critical communications with Mark O’Connell, general manager for EMEA and APAC at Globalstar and Jim Morrish, founding partner at Transforma Insights.

From first responders and critical infrastructure to agriculture, environmental monitoring and hazardous-materials transport, mission-critical means something different to every organisation. So how is satellite connectivity stepping up to meet those diverse demands?

Our guests discuss the increasing accessibility of satellite technology, the impact of falling launch and hardware costs and the rise of hybrid terrestrial-satellite systems that keep communications resilient when it matters most. They also examine cybersecurity risks, the role of AI and edge intelligence, and why low Earth orbit (LEO) networks are becoming central to global IoT strategies.

In this fast-paced episode of the Trending Tech Podcast brought to you by the team at IoT Now, explore the role of AI in telecommunications, especially for telcos and MVNOs, including its integration into IoT services. Your host, Jim Morrish, the Co-Founder of Transforma Insights and his guest, Rupa Datta, VP of Connected Services, Semtech, explore in detail the benefits and challenges of this fast-growing technology. In this episode, they discuss:

• How MVNOs and telcos can benefit – Learn from news stories and case studies how AI improves security, boosts customer experience, optimises connectivity & more in this engaging discussion.
• Why accessibility matters – With ChatGPT, smart call routing and AI overview search, customers are getting closer to artificial intelligence than ever before. They’re becoming accustomed to it, and even in the telecoms space, more tools are becoming available and being integrated with AI than they were even 5 years ago.
• Where the challenges still are – Even as AI goes more mainstream, there are still several challenges to overcome. These are a lack of skilled personnel to work with AI, poor data quality or data accessibility, and high upfront financial costs in some cases. However, evolving tools may reduce these challenges over time, further lowering the barrier to entry for organisations across the whole value chain.
• Use cases for AI in telcos – Dive into use cases like AI-driven chatbots, AI-powered decision-making and robust monitoring, like how Semtech is now detecting possible fraud and proactively notifying customers if they see abnormalities in usage or triggering proactive maintenance.

As you hear from Rupa’s vast experience, learn how they’re able to optimise their networks and their offering. How their customers can now use a single SIM and go anywhere in the world, and by utilising AI; they can optimise that network utilisation from a cost perspective, while maintaining reliable connectivity and security.
