Onomondo and Kigen partner to deliver customers a fully interoperable SGP.32 ecosystem

Onomondo now offers preloaded cellular connectivity eSA-certified SGP.32 eSIMs and SIMs with Kigen. Early customers are already testing and deploying on Onomondo’s connectivity infrastructure.


Copenhagen, Denmark — 30 June 2026 — Onomondo today announced a partnership with Kigen, the global leader in GSMA eSA-certified eSIM and Remote SIM Provisioning for IoT, to offer companies deploying IoT products connectivity with the full benefits of the new SGP.32 eSIMs. The offering is already in use: early customers are testing and deploying devices today in Europe and North America on Onomondo’s preloaded connectivity, running on Kigen’s certified eUICC SIMs.

It’s built to be simple to adopt. Onomondo’s connectivity is preloaded onto Kigen’s certified SGP.32 SIMs at the factory, so devices arrive with connectivity already on board, and nothing to scan, download, or activate after they ship.

SGP.32 is the GSMA’s eSIM standard built for IoT at scale. It lets companies manage a device’s cellular connectivity over the air, instead of being locked to the single provider chosen before the device ships. Moreover, the standard introduces enhancements that extend remote management of eSIMs to large fleets of devices with ease.

The standard has drawn no shortage of announcements over the past year: partnerships, roadmaps, and “coming soon” commitments. Onomondo’s announcement lands as enterprises are urgently weighing how to scale their businesses with connectivity customers are already running, not a roadmap.

This announcement reflects why Onomondo builds connectivity in the way it does: to keep customers free to choose how they connect, and free to operate their fleets on their own terms. That is why it works with established SIM makers like Kigen, so connectivity fits the hardware decisions customers are already making. SGP.32 is one more way to give customers that freedom: the choice of connectivity is no longer locked in for the life of the device. Kigen brings GSMA certified, IoT-grade SGP.32 hardware available in all standard SIM form factors and solderable MFF2 and the ultra-compact 2x2mm2 MFF4 formats. Onomondo brings the network infrastructure and the platform around it, with a single core network across 180+ countries and the real-time visibility customers use to see exactly what their fleets are doing.

In April 2026, IoT community the IoT community, IoT Stars, ran the first independent, public, and real-world test of SGP.32 across multiple vendors, migrating live devices between connectivity providers over the air using Kigen’s GSMA SAS-certified eIM. Onomondo was one of the connectivity providers to successfully show full commercial delivery of its production profile and ease of profile swapping by this standard.

“There’s a lot of noise around SGP.32 right now between the announcements and roadmaps,” said Henrik Aagaard, CTO and Co-founder of Onomondo. “We’d rather show than tell. And we are proud to have customers deploying on our connectivity today with SGP.32 eSIMs, on Kigen’s certified eSIMs. We’ve always been committed to giving our customers the freedom to leave, and to choose connectivity that fits exactly what their business needs.”

“The combination of Kigen’s SGP.32 eSIM management solution and Onomondo’s global connectivity gives enterprises a proven foundation for security, interoperability, and scale without added complexity,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO of Kigen. “We are delighted to welcome Onomondo to the growing ecosystem of leading connectivity providers helping businesses scale IoT with confidence. As the first Nordic connectivity provider to be commercially available directly on Kigen eSIMs, Onomondo is helping simplify global IoT deployment and accelerate adoption across the region.”
