Onomondo, a pioneering IoT connectivity provider, announced the formation of the eSIM IoT Alliance, a collective of companies working to adopt and develop the SGP.32 standard. This collaboration marks the launch of an ambitious initiative to develop a free, open-source eSIM platform for IoT devices that’s GSMA-compliant, aimed at making it easier for businesses to control their connectivity.
The alliance’s long-term vision is clear: to transform the IoT industry, liberating connectivity and fueling innovation through a free and open-source platform — an offering that’s unprecedented in the telecommunications industry.
“Our mission with this alliance is to democratize IoT connectivity by eliminating barriers and fostering innovation across industries,” said Henrik Aagaard, CTO and co-founder of Onomondo. “By providing a GSMA-compliant, open-source platform, we enable businesses to focus on innovation without the constraints of vendor lock-in.”
The eSIM IoT Alliance unites key industry players around the shared goal of broadening access to the technical advancements of the SGP.32 standard. This allows customers the freedom to switch providers as needed and ensures better control over their connectivity setups.
The SGP.32 standard introduces a breakthrough in IoT with its remote SIM provisioning technology, which eliminates the need for physical SIM card swaps, streamlining deployment and simplifying SIM management in fleets.
The alliance is actively working on the collaborative development of an eSIM IoT platform, incorporating feedback and advocacy from all members. In the long term, the alliance seeks to continually drive innovation and promote the adoption of IoT technologies through strategic partnerships and technological advancements.
Alliance members will receive early access to test the SGP.32 technology before its full ecosystem release within the year.
