Our partnership with Thales
Our partnership with Thales gives customers seamless access to Thales' advanced remote SIM provisioning, directly supported by the SGP.22 and SGP.32 eSIM standards.
SGP.22
SGP.22 is the GSMA’s Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) standard for consumer devices.
It defines how smartphones, wearables, tablets, laptops, and other user‑facing IoT devices download, install, switch, and manage eSIM profiles securely, without requiring a physical SIM card.
Although originally designed for consumer electronics, SGP.22 is also used in IoT deployments where devices include a user interface or can run the required client‑side software, such as payment terminals, connected vehicles, industrial tablets, or medical devices.
SGP.32
SGP.32 is the GSMA’s next‑generation eSIM Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) standard designed specifically for IoT devices, especially headless, low‑power, and constrained devices such as sensors, meters, and trackers. It modernises the entire provisioning architecture by replacing the older M2M (SGP.02) and consumer (SGP.22) workflows with a more flexible, lightweight, and scalable model tailored to massive IoT.
SGP.32 simplifies provisioning by using an SM‑DP+ that takes over both preparation and delivery responsibilities, eliminating the heavy SM‑SR routing layer from SGP.02.
Benefits include:
- eIM (eSIM IoT Manager): The eIM manages the full profile lifecycle (download, enable, disable, delete) and orchestrates workflows for large IoT fleets.
- IPA (IoT Profile Assistant) replaces the LPA: IPA (embedded or device‑side) handles discovery, bootstrap, and secure communication between device and servers, built for constrained IoT devices without a UI.
- Server‑driven, headless provisioning: Devices receive profiles through remote triggers, ideal for unattended sensors, meters, trackers, and NB‑IoT / LTE‑M devices.
