KORE Group Holdings, the global pure-play Internet of Things (IoT) hyperscaler, is collaborating with Kigen, one of the top players in eSIM and remote SIM provisioning technologies. KORE and Kigen have decided to collaborate to develop and bring into use a series of innovative SGP.32 connectivity services. This collaboration is expected to go live in late 2026.
These solutions, developed especially for the IoT environment and based on the GSMA eSIM 3.2 standard, will enable customers to experience an unprecedented degree of flexibility. The SGP.32 solution caters to different types of hardware, from large capacity gateways to small energy-efficient sensors. It also offers optimized connectivity services that allow seamless roaming across multiple network providers.
Implementation of the New GSMA Standard
SGP.32 is a new standard that signifies a dramatic change in the way IoT devices are operated through the entire life cycle of those devices. The ability to provide remote provisioning and switching between carriers enables KORE to optimize the connectivity globally without involving truck rolls.
It is thanks to the universal platform that operates on an eSIM basis that such capabilities are possible.

“Enterprise customers don’t just need standards – they need a proven way to operationalize them at scale,” said Ron Totton, President and CEO of KORE. “With SGP.32, success depends on deep carrier relationships, global infrastructure and the ability to manage complexity across the full device lifecycle. That’s where KORE delivers – helping customers turn new standards into real-world, scalable deployments.” Kigen is contributing their secure, GSMA-certified SGP.32 eSIM and eIM technology to the solution to underpin its enterprise-grade architecture.
Security and Resilience by Design
The partnership utilizes Kigen’s GSMA certified eSIM and eIM (eSIM IoT Manager) platform to form the base for building the secure architecture. This helps ensure that the solution not only offers flexibility in terms of connectivity, but that it remains secure by design for mission-critical IoT deployments.
“SGP.32 is a defining milestone for the industry because it removes the complexity that has long held back scale for enterprise IoT – making connectivity truly flexible, resilient, and secure by design,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO at Kigen. “By building on Kigen’s GSMA-certified eSIM and eIM, KORE is establishing a trusted foundation that enables enterprises to deploy, manage, and scale next-generation connectivity with confidence.”
Future-Proofing the IoT Lifecycle
As IoT devices increasingly face lifecycles spanning a decade or more, the ability to adapt connectivity remotely is essential for maintaining uptime and compliance. KORE’s SGP.32 solutions provide the adaptive framework necessary for enterprises to localize connectivity and manage fleet changes with absolute precision, regardless of whether devices are stationary or in transit across international borders.
