Real-time control of mission-critical connectivity
In this GSMA interview from MWC 2025, Paul Bradley discusses how the rapid growth of IoT is exposing the limitations of traditional SIM management. With many of Kigen’s partners juggling hundreds of SIM SKUs across diverse device types, manual SIM insertion and fragmented connectivity management platforms (CMPs) have become bottlenecks. For high-volume eSIM device deployments, a shift toward digital-first, automated provisioning is critical, enabling seamless, secure, and real-time connectivity management, including activation, switching, and failover for mission-critical applications.
Ensuring connectivity can be provisioned seamlessly and securely.
To meet the demands of large-scale IoT deployments, legacy systems must evolve to handle eIMs—ensuring connectivity can be provisioned seamlessly and securely. Automation is key. Beyond provisioning, it enables real-time control of mission-critical connectivity—including activation, switching, failover and deactivation. The SGP.32 standard introduces a lightweight eIM IoT Remote Manager, compatible with any SM-DP+, that empowers bulk, secure connectivity management.
At Kigen, we’re helping device makers overcome two major IoT hurdles: scaling deployments efficiently while minimizing cost, and provisioning battery-constrained devices that often can’t support power-draining in-field setups.
With SGP.32 and the road to SGP.42, we’re enabling fast, factory-based onboarding through simple APIs—making secure, scalable eIM provisioning a reality during manufacturing. As a long-time contributor to global telecom standards, Kigen champions a collaborative ecosystem to simplify cellular adoption, ensuring security is seamless, universal and built in—so innovators and enterprises can thrive in the connected future.
Key takeaways:
- Automation is critical for real-time control of connectivity, including activation, switching, and failover
- In-factory provisioning reduces power demands on devices with limited battery life, streamlining deployment
- SGP.32 enables lightweight eIM management, supporting secure, bulk provisioning across IoT fleets.
- Kigen’s eIM champions interoperability and built-in security, empowering scalable, future-ready IoT
