Pelion Is Bringing SGP.32 to Life for IoT Connectivity

IoT connectivity is entering its next phase and Pelion is already building for it.

As connected devices become more deeply embedded in critical infrastructure, industrial operations, and global supply chains, expectations have changed.

Businesses no longer want connectivity that simply works at launch.

They need connectivity that's resilient, flexible, and scalable across the full lifecycle of their devices.

That's why Pelion is preparing to introduce support for the GSMA SGP.32 IoT eSIM standard for its customers starting this summer.

SGP.32 represents a major step forward in how IoT connectivity is designed and managed at scale.

It aligns directly with Pelion’s long-standing mission to make global IoT connectivity effortless, removing complexity while increasing reliability and control.

Building on Pelion’s proven eSIM foundations, from embedded connectivity with SGP.02 through to Consumer eSIM for IoT support with SGP.22, SGP.32 is the next natural evolution in Pelion’s eSIM roadmap.

Support for SGP.32 is planned to be available on the Pelion platform for both new and existing customers from Summer 2026.

A Natural Evolution of Pelion’s eSIM Innovation

Pelion has consistently been at the forefront of IoT connectivity innovation.

Across its eSIM journey, Pelion has focused on simplifying deployment, reducing operational burden, and enabling customers to scale globally without friction.

Each step has brought connectivity closer to the device and closer to the business outcomes it supports.

SGP.32 continues that progression.

Designed specifically for IoT, SGP.32 moves beyond standards adapted from consumer mobile use cases.

It reflects the real-world demands of modern IoT deployments, including large device fleets, long lifecycles, constrained hardware, and the need for reliable connectivity that operates quietly in the background.

For Pelion customers, this means access to connectivity that's built to be:

• Resilient across years-long deployments

• Flexible without relying on regional SIM variants

• Scalable without adding operational complexity

SGP.32 strengthens Pelion’s ability to deliver connectivity that stays out of the way, so businesses can focus on what their devices are designed to do.

Why SGP.32 Matters for IoT at Scale

Many IoT deployments have outgrown the standards that initially supported them.

What began as manageable rollouts often become large, distributed fleets operating across regions, networks, and regulatory environments.

Managing connectivity across these environments can introduce cost, risk, and long-term maintenance challenges.

SGP.32 has been designed with this reality in mind.

The SGP.32 IoT eSIM specification simplifies how connectivity profiles are provisioned and managed, particularly for devices with limited processing power or memory. It removes unnecessary complexity and focuses on what matters most at scale: reliability, efficiency, and control.

For enterprises, this results in:

• Simpler global deployments

• Reduced operational effort over the device lifecycle

• Greater confidence that devices remain connected long term

SGP.32 is especially well suited to industrial IoT, smart infrastructure, utilities, and similar use cases where stability and low maintenance are critical.

Getting Ready for SGP.32 Starts Now

While SGP.32 is still progressing towards broader adoption, preparation should begin today.

The first step is not deciding on a standard, but understanding whether SGP.32 is the right fit for your deployment.

In some cases, existing eSIM approaches may already meet your needs.

In others, SGP.32 could unlock significant advantages in device design, scalability, and long-term operations.

This is why early conversations matter.

Businesses should start by reviewing device constraints, expected lifespans, geographic reach, and the effort required to manage connectivity today.

Working with an IoT connectivity partner that's actively investing in SGP.32 helps ensure future readiness without unnecessary risk.

Pelion is already investing in SGP.32 as part of its IoT connectivity roadmap, combining experience across multiple GSMA standards to help customers make informed decisions.

If you are planning future deployments or rethinking your connectivity strategy, now is the time to talk to Pelion.

Together, we can shape the next chapter of effortless IoT connectivity.
