Tele2 IoT, IDEMIA Secure Transactions and Cisco launch among the first commercially available end-to-end IoT solution based on the GSMA SGP.32 eSIM standard at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The connected offerings enable businesses to securely provision, coordinate and manage connected devices worldwide from a single platform and eSIM stock-keeping unit.
Traditionally, businesses deploying IoT devices globally have faced complex logistics and high operating costs, requiring different physical SIMs for different regions. Tele2 IoT, IDEMIA Secure Transactions and Cisco have removed these barriers with a commercial end-to-end IoT solution that allows organisations to connect and securely manage all devices worldwide from a single platform and eSIM stock-keeping unit (SKU).
The solution consists of IDEMIA Secure Transactions’ GSMA-certified SGP.32 eSIM ecosystem that can be activated and updated remotely, Cisco’s Mobility Services Platform – which includes the IoT Control Center connectivity management platform with SGP.32 orchestration capabilities – and Tele2 IoT’s global connectivity, providing reliable networks, remote eSIM profile switching and dedicated worldwide customer support.
This end-to-end IoT solution scales easily by eliminating local sourcing, manual provisioning and physical swaps of SIM cards. Tele2 IoT and IDEMIA Secure Transactions manage local network onboarding and support regulatory compliance in restricted markets, often cutting deployment times from months to minutes.
“Tele2 IoT’s mission is to ensure IoT works flawlessly for businesses, no matter the country, complexity or scale. We are proud to launch a simple, scalable solution that cuts time to market to a fraction of what it once was,” says Onur Kasaba, Managing Director of Tele2 IoT. “To utilise the full benefits of the SGP.32 specification, our customers don’t need to make complex eIMs or SMDP+ decisions, they can rely on Tele2 IoT’s global connectivity with IDEMIA’s eSIM ecosystem and Cisco’s management platform. It is ideal for customers in industries with global connectivity needs, such as automotive.”
“The commercial launch of this end-to-end SGP.32 solution marks a major milestone for the IoT industry. At IDEMIA Secure Transactions, we bring the secure eSIM ecosystem that makes large-scale remote provisioning possible and compliant worldwide. Together with Tele2 IoT and Cisco, we are turning the SGP.32 specification into a fully operational reality for global IoT and enterprises around the world,” says Fabien Jautard, EVP Connectivity Services of IDEMIA Secure Transactions.
“Our partnership with Tele2 IoT is designed to unlock innovation. In providing a platform that removes some of the biggest challenges to IoT innovation, we can create new, monetizable services that push the IoT industry forward,” says Masum Mir, SVP and GM, Cisco Provider Mobility. “Our work leverages advanced IoT and mobility technologies to help Tele2 IoT accelerate revenue growth and transform their service offerings as we march towards the physical AI era.”
Meet Tele2 IoT, IDEMIA Secure Transactions and Cisco at Mobile World Congress in Hall 7, Stand A41, on March 2-5, where the companies will demonstrate the newly launched end-to-end solution.
