Building an LwM2M client with a focus on energy conservation Designing a radio-connected device operating on battery power means balancing several aspects that often conflict. For instance, frequent data reporting, real-time event notifications, and a rich feature set are desirable features, but they can be difficult to reconcile with the need for years of operation...

Using LwM2M for remote SIM provisioning on IoT devices Low-power cellular IoT is the preferred low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) for massive IoT deployments. However, vendor lock-in and the requirement for multiple mobile network operators (MNOs) in multinational deployments make subscriber identity module (SIM) provisioning challenging for enterprises. In this article, we discuss how the Lightweight...

Understanding multi-IMSI for eSIM: Why it matters & how modern eSIM orchestration unlocks its full power Multi-IMSI technology has become a strategic enabler in today’s global connectivity landscape — especially for travel eSIM providers, IoT platforms, MVNOs, and enterprises seeking flexible, resilient network access. While many eSIM management platforms simply host multi-IMSI applets inside the...

Powering the next generation of industrial IoT with end-to-end eSIM solutions As the enterprise IoT market enters a new phase of maturity, operators and their partners can no longer rely on legacy M2M frameworks built on SGP.01/02. This shift isn’t about user-controlled smartphones or wearables — it’s about managing large-scale deployments of industrial devices like...

What role should operators play in eSIM IoT? With the rise of enterprise IoT, the role of mobile network operators (MNOs and MVNOs) is evolving. But as the telecom sector moves away from legacy M2M (machine-to-machine) models — designed for industrial use cases like smart meters, asset trackers, and remote sensors — and toward scalable...

From M2M to SGP.32: How should operators approach the IoT eSIM landscape? As eSIM adoption matures, the boundaries between different types of device provisioning are being redefined, particularly in the enterprise IoT market. This shift isn’t about smartphones or smartwatches, but about provisioning industrial-grade devices like smart meters, asset trackers, and connected infrastructure. And while...

eSIM management 101: Understanding eSIM profiles eSIM technology has changed the way we communicate and is now becoming the norm when connecting our mobile devices to mobile networks. At the heart of the eSIM ecosystem is the concept of profiles. But what exactly are profiles, and how are they managed? Let’s dive in. What is...
