The limitations of legacy SGP.02 IoT connectivity

  • Fragmented Supply Chain

    SIMs are tied to specific carriers, forcing multiple regional SKUs and increasing operational complexity.

  • Outdated Activation

    Remote devices using legacy M2M standards rely on SMS for profile swap procedure initiation. This requires complex integrations for binary SMS delivery.

  • Vendor Lock-In

    Rigid, operator-controlled architecture makes switching carriers slow, complex, and expensive.

  • Slow deployments

    Extremely lengthy and complex MNO integration project slow down deployments and drain engineering resources.

Remotely controlled eSIM connectivity for IoT devices

Future-Proof your IoT connectivity with SGP.32 eSIM IoT Manager (eIM)

As IoT deployments scale globally, there is a growing need for purpose-built platforms that enable seamless remote SIM provisioning and lifecycle management. 1GLOBAL addresses this with its eSIM IoT Manager (eIM) - designed for secure, scalable, connectivity control from day one.

Fully compliant with the GSMA SGP.32 standard, the platform enables devices to be deployed globally with embedded 1GLOBAL bootstrap connectivity. Devices automatically connect anywhere in the world, allowing optimal local network be installed via eIM, enabling seamless, zero-touch deployment at scale.

Why fleet operators choose 1GLOBAL eSIM IoT Manager (eIM)

Devices perform over-the-air (OTA) self‑configuration on first activation, supporting a single‑SKU global deployment model, minimizing deployment cost and time-to-market.

Operator Independence

1GLOBAL eSIM IoT Manager enables full carrier flexibility, giving you freedom to decide who operates the profiles, when, and where. This helps avoid vendor lock-in and ensures optimal connectivity at all times.

True Single SKU

One universal eSIM enables global IoT deployments without regional SKUs - reducing manufacturing overhead and simplifying fleet‑wide profile switching. Connectivity is controlled remotely with automated deployment on arrival for simple, cost-effective logistics.

Zero Touch Provisioning

Devices self‑configure over‑the‑air (OTA) immediately upon activation, minimizing manual setup, accelerating deployment and reducing field costs.

Business Continuity

1GLOBAL eSIM IoT Manager (eIM) is compatible with a wide range of devices. This means there are no constraints for low power devices and it is optimized for asynchronous provisioning. New connectivity profiles can be added and updated when required as your operations scale.

Put control in the hands of the Enterprise

GSMA SGP.32 Remote SIM Provisioning architecture

1GLOBAL’s SGP.32-compliant solution gives businesses full control of their fleet.

  • The main component of SGP.22 (Consumer eSIM) infrastructure, SM-DP+, is reused in SGP.32.

  • IPA (IoT Profile Assistant) is the device-side software element that enables communications between eSIM, eIM and SM-DP+.

  • eIM secures the installation and management of eSIM profiles, controls the remote management of the eSIM profile lifecycle.

  • eIM platform is equipped with end user portal UI for single operations and with API for full-scale eSIM profile management automation.

Frequently asked questions

SGP.02 relies on complex operator-controlled infrastructure and SMS to initiate updates, often causing lock-in and failures.

SGP.32 introduces a more flexible architecture, giving OEMs and fleet operators full control through an eSIM IoT Manager (eIM) and using reliable IP-based data protocols. This makes it faster, more scalable, and better suited for battery-powered IoT devices.

No. With 1GLOBAL's IPA-e solution, the necessary configuration is embedded directly into the eSIM chip. This allows many existing devices to become SGP.32-compliant just by swapping the SIM card - no hardware redesign required.

Yes. The 1GLOBAL eSIM IoT Manager supports a true single-SKU approach, allowing manufacturers to ship one device globally and provision the appropriate local connectivity profile remotely after deployment.

Yes. The eIM platform enables remote installation, activation, and management of eSIM profiles over the air, allowing enterprises to change connectivity providers without physically accessing devices.
