KORE Group and Kigen are partnering to deliver IoT connectivity solutions based on the GSMA’s next-generation SGP.32 eSIM standard. Commercial availability for the new portfolio is scheduled for the latter half of 2026.

The SGP.32 standard is designed to simplify the deployment of IoT devices ranging from battery-powered sensors to high-power gateways. The solutions will allow enterprises to remotely provision and switch connectivity profiles without physical SIM card replacements. This approach is intended to support multi-network resilience and local connectivity with automated failover.

Kigen will provide the GSMA-certified eSIM and remote SIM provisioning technology, while KORE will manage the global infrastructure and carrier integrations. The partnership aims to address the complexity of managing large device fleets across different regions and regulatory environments.

Purpose-built for IoT and based on the GSMA’s next-generation eSIM standard, KORE’s SGP.32 solutions support a wide range of devices, from high-power gateways to battery-powered sensors, and include a range of connectivity profiles tailored to different operational needs, such as streamlined roaming, resilient multi-network approaches and local connectivity with intelligent failover and recovery – enabling organizations to deploy and manage connected devices globally, while adapting connectivity over time.

Whether devices are stationary or on the move, KORE’s SGP.32 solutions give customers the ability to remotely provision, switch and optimize connectivity without costly truck rolls – unlocking efficiency, resiliency and global reach. Built to support the future of IoT, KORE’s approach ensures interoperability, carrier-grade integrations and the intelligence needed to manage device fleets at scale, while advancing the company’s broader goal to deliver programmable connectivity through a unified eSIM-based platform.

“Enterprise customers don’t just need standards – they need a proven way to operationalize them at scale,” said Ron Totton, President and CEO of KORE. “With SGP.32, success depends on deep carrier relationships, global infrastructure and the ability to manage complexity across the full device lifecycle. That’s where KORE delivers – helping customers turn new standards into real-world, scalable deployments.” Kigen is contributing their secure, GSMA-certified SGP.32 eSIM and eIM technology to the solution to underpin its enterprise-grade architecture.

The companies stated that the new standard removes technical barriers that have previously hindered the scaling of enterprise IoT. By using a unified eSIM-based platform, organisations can adapt their connectivity over the long lifecycle of their devices to account for changing network conditions.
