What is SGP.32?

SGP.32 is the latest GSMA standard for IoT eSIM provisioning.
Built specifically for IoT devices, it replaces older M2M and consumer eSIM architectures with a simpler, more flexible system that lowers deployment costs and improves remote profile management.

SGP.32 makes it easier to:

  • Activate devices at scale
  • Switch carriers remotely
  • Manage SIM profiles from a central platform
  • Deploy IoT hardware globally without physical SIM handling

How SGP.32 Improves IoT Deployments

Simplified Remote Provisioning

Activate and switch network profiles instantly without relying on legacy SM-DP/SM-SR systems.

Reduced Operating Costs

Profile updates, network changes, and lifecycle actions can be automated to reduce manual intervention.

More Flexible Architecture

SGP.32 removes much of the complexity found in older IoT eSIM specifications, streamlining large deployments.

Improved Scalability

Perfect for device fleets numbering in the thousands or millions.

Future-Proof Standard

Developed by the GSMA to support the next decade of IoT connectivity requirements.

Multi-Network Resilience

Switch profiles remotely if a network becomes degraded, withdrawn, or unavailable.

SGP.22 vs SGP.32 IoT eSIMs

SGP.22 (Legacy M2M eSIM)

  • Complex, expensive provisioning system
  • Requires heavy SM-SR infrastructure
  • Slower profile switching
  • Designed before large-scale IoT adoption
  • Harder to integrate into lightweight devices

SGP.32 (New IoT Standard)

  • Built specifically for IoT at scale
  • Simplified architecture, lower cost
  • Faster, more flexible remote provisioning
  • Easier for device manufacturers and integrators
  • Ideal for LTE-M, NB-IoT, 4G, and 5G IoT deployments

What our customers think of us.

First class service and saved us a small fortune. Connection speed was good when on 4G. The location we operate our Taxi business has some patchy coverage, but with this IoT Roaming SIM we now never lose coverage. Really good network coverage and brilliant data allowance. I would certainly recommend.
