In January, the GSMA, the global organisation unifying the mobile ecosystem, introduced a new industry-wide technical specification called SGP.32 v1.2, together with test, compliance and security specifications to ensure eSIM Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, used within IoT products, are secure and interoperable when interacting with communications networks and service platforms around the world. The GSMA has now included certification of this specification as part of its GSMA eUICC Security Assurance scheme and eSIM Compliance program, ensuring eSIM IoT products comply with stringent security and interoperability requirements, alongside already established consumer and machine-to-machine eSIM product certification.

Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 low power module for advanced cellular Internet of Things (IoT) applications now includes SoftSIM support for Japan’s only SoftSIM provider, Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ). By using a SoftSIM instead of a traditional SIM, product developers can reduce SIM and Bill of Materials (BoM) costs, simplify design and lower power consumption for cellular IoT end products based on Nordic’s nRF9151 module. SoftSIM is ideal for space-constrained cellular IoT devices with low power consumption requirements, such as wearables and smart sensors.
