en.Wedoany.com Reported - Soracom announced that its Connectivity Hypervisor eSIM orchestration capability and SGP.32-compliant IoT eSIM have entered the commercial phase and are available for purchase immediately, marking the transition of its SGP.32-based products from the pre-order stage to full market availability. Soracom is a cloud-native IoT platform provider offering connectivity, cloud integration, and artificial intelligence services.
SGP.32 is the latest remote SIM provisioning standard for IoT developed by the GSM Association (GSMA). Its predecessor standards adopted two approaches: SGP.02, led by telecom operators and primarily used in the automotive industry, retained operator control over provisioning, allowing enterprises to manage profiles but within a closed environment with operator involvement; SGP.22 tilted control toward device owners but required devices to have a user interface, which most unattended IoT devices lack. SGP.32 addresses both limitations, supporting headless, always-on devices while granting enterprises independent control over profiles, enabling them to decide which profiles run on devices and when. For long-life products such as vehicles, utility meters, asset trackers, and connected medical devices, the shift from operator control to owner control has become a common requirement in enterprise and automotive procurement.
Connectivity Hypervisor is Soracom's eUICC orchestration capability, allowing users to add, delete, manage, and switch profiles from multiple operators (including third-party mobile network operator profiles) on remote SIMs/eSIMs via the SGP.32 eSIM IoT Manager (eIM). This capability provides an application programming interface (API) for remote SIM provisioning and integrates with Soracom's automation services and frameworks, enabling users to automate remote SIM provisioning (RSP) based on deployment regions, regulatory requirements, or application needs. A built-in profile fallback mechanism ensures devices remain connected when the target profile is unavailable.
With a single stock keeping unit (SKU) that can be produced and shipped globally, customers can switch profiles in the field to meet permanent roaming requirements during cross-border deployments. For profiles from official partner operators integrated with Soracom's connectivity management platform, the platform offers SIM profile lifecycle management, data usage monitoring, and fleet management features, including the same tag- and group-based search functionality as Soracom native profiles.
"We built the Connectivity Hypervisor infrastructure before the market required certification because we anticipated that SGP.32 would ultimately give customers control over when and where SIM profiles are used. It has delivered on that," said Kenta Yasukawa, CTO and co-founder of Soracom. "Commercial availability means customers can order a device today that is activated via Soracom and comes with the ability to add and delete profiles in the field, future-proofing these devices without needing to prepare different SKUs for cross-border deployments. Managing connectivity from multiple operators through a single API and console is also an essential capability for customers managing large device fleets with multiple profiles."
At Soracom's annual conference, Soracom Discovery 2026, the company demonstrated the next version of Connectivity Hypervisor, which supports unified management of connectivity from multiple operators, including mobile network operators, through a single control plane. This capability is fully built, but broader customer availability still requires partner operators to complete integration of their profiles for resale through the Soracom platform. Soracom's SGP.32 implementation is based on standard eUICC, eIM, and SM-DP+ components.
