Simetric is working with Thales to deliver eSIM orchestration for large-scale IoT deployments.
Simetric’s single pane of glass (SPoG) orchestration platform integrates Thales’s eSIM security and remote connectivity management to help enterprises simplify and accelerate large-scale IoT deployments worldwide.
The collaboration delivers a unified, secure approach to managing connected devices across their entire lifecycle.
Led by Simetric’s SPoG network orchestration platform, the joint offering integrates Thales’ GSMA-certified eSIM provisioning, eSIM orchestration (eSO) and trusted security capabilities. Together, the companies are delivering an end-to-end offering that simplifies eSIM adoption while providing enterprises with centralised visibility, policy control and enterprise-grade security across multi-carrier, multi-region IoT deployments.
“ESIM is no longer just a provisioning function, it has become the operational and security control plane for the network edge,” said Allen Boone, CEO of Simetric (simetric.com). “By integrating Thales’ trusted eSIM and RSP foundation directly into Simetric’s SPoG orchestration platform, we are giving OEMs and enterprises the ability to manage connectivity, security and policy across millions of devices with unprecedented clarity, resilience and control.”
As industries such as utilities, video security, asset tracking, routers, mPoS, smart metering, medical devices and automotive accelerate the transition from physical SIMs to eSIM-enabled architectures, enterprises face increasing operational fragmentation across carriers, platforms and legacy tools.
Maintaining service continuity now requires real-time control over activation and deactivation, fallback logic, performance policies, diagnostics, and remediation, alongside unified governance, ticketing, analytics and security posture management.
Simetric’s SPoG platform addresses this by acting as the orchestration and policy layer above networks, terrestrial and satellite, and connectivity platforms, while Thales provides the secure, standards-based eSIM foundation and orchestration required for mission-critical deployments of these essential networked devices.
For OEMs, the Simetric-Thales offering streamlines eSIM integration and future-proofs device connectivity by enabling: GSMA SGP.32-compliant, fully certified eSIM provisioning and orchestration across regions and networks; simplified device onboarding and lifecycle orchestration; and faster global launches with reduced operational and integration complexity.
By embedding eSIM orchestration into Simetric’s SPoG platform, OEMs gain centralised operational control from manufacturing through deployment and scale.
Security is foundational to Simetric’s platform strategy and the capabilities it extends to CISOs and IT administrators. Thales’ eSIM infrastructure, used by mobile operators and enterprises worldwide, provides robust protection across the entire eSIM lifecycle. Simetric extends this trust with enterprise-grade governance, automation, analytics and real-time device intelligence across complex, multi-carrier environments. This combination elevates security at the heart of every device, the eSIM, and elevates cyber-security controls across the entire device ecosystem in a manner that is essential for security governance and compliance.
“Orchestrating secure connectivity at global scale requires more than provisioning, it requires trust, standards compliance and operational simplicity,” said Guillaume Lafaix, Thales (www.thalesgroup.com) vice president. “By integrating Thales’ industry-leading eSIM security and orchestration capabilities with Simetric’s SPoG platform, we are enabling enterprises and OEMs to deploy and manage IoT connectivity with confidence, security and scale.
