Canadian IoT connectivity firm NuvoLinq has enabled legacy and in-field IoT devices on the latest eUICC (SGP.32) platform.

This achievement is said to mark a critical milestone for organisations seeking to modernise their connected infrastructure and stay aligned with the future of global IoT standards.

As the industry accelerates towards SGP.32, many enterprises face the costly problem that existing hardware often cannot support this new generation of embedded SIM (eSIM) technology. While eUICC enables benefits such as remote provisioning, multi-carrier switching, private APNs and secure over-the-air updates, those advantages depend on device compatibility. NuvoLinq’s work closes the gap.

Over the past several months, NuvoLinq’s engineering and integration teams achieved what many considered unattainable: full SGP.32 readiness for legacy hardware. Through targeted firmware collaboration with Kigen’s SGP.32 certified eIM, Kigen eSIM with dynamic rescue and recovery, device-level testing, and continuous validation, the company has proven that SGP.32 compatibility is achievable without hardware modification today.

“Every device has its own quirks,” said Maurizio Tersigni, CEO of NuvoLinq. “We’ve spent months with pin pads, sensors, blades and routers. Each behaves differently. Our work shows that legacy devices can indeed be brought forward into the next era of IoT.”

To accelerate industry adoption, NuvoLinq is launching its eUICC readiness programme, a suite of services to help organisations transition existing device fleets to SGP.32 efficiently and cost-effectively:

• Device compatibility testing: Confirm SGP.32 readiness for seamless network operation.
• Root cause identification: Diagnose and resolve firmware or SIM-profile issues affecting performance.
• Validation support: Complimentary 30-day test eSIMs for in-field evaluation before deployment.

This initiative underscores NuvoLinq’s commitment to bridging the old and new in IoT connectivity, helping partners modernise without replacing entire device fleets. By overcoming hardware limitations, organisations can extend lifecycles, reduce upgrade costs and future-proof deployments.

“SGP.32 is more than a new standard, it’s the foundation for scalable, secure and intelligent global IoT,” Tersigni said. “Our mission is to ensure that every organisation, regardless of its current device portfolio, can participate in that future without compromise.”

Vincent Korstanje, CEO of Kigen (kigen.com), added: “The shift from plastic SIMs to dynamic eSIM is now essential to enterprise cyber security, but it can create real friction for installed devices. Together with NuvoLinq, our latest IoT-ready eSIM suite – our SGP.32 certified eIM, eSIM OS and applets – removes that friction so PoS and automation customers can elevate remote fleets into the new era of secure, remotely managed IoT without retrofit or disruption.”
