SGP.32 introduces a new generation of eSIM technology that provides greater flexibility and future readiness for connected devices. For organisations deploying asset tracking solutions internationally, eSIM technology simplifies connectivity management and supports global scalability without requiring changes to the physical SIM. It also helps solution providers and hardware manufacturers streamline deployments across multiple regions.
By default, this multi-network SIM or Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) SIM uses a KPN IoT profile. But if you, for any reason, choose to work with another telecom provider, you can remotely load another profile on the eSIM. Via a simple management platform.
Successful asset tracking starts with reliable hardware. KPN works with carefully selected technology partners and offers a portfolio of tested and secure tracking devices, sensors and tags. Each device is evaluated for performance, reliability, security and regulatory compliance. This reduces deployment risks and helps ensure predictable operation throughout the lifecycle of your solution.
Our specialists can help identify the right hardware based on your assets, operating environment and tracking requirements.
Security is built into every layer of the solution. KPN's IoT connectivity services operate according to strict security standards and the KPN Security Policy, helping organisations protect connected assets, communications and operational data. We partner with industry leaders such as Cisco and IDEMIA to provide secure-by-design solutions. With automatic fallback, remote monitoring and data encryption, we help you to stay connected, protected and compliant.
Non-steered roaming allows connected devices to use all available partner networks instead of being restricted to a predefined network preference. For international asset tracking deployments, this provides greater flexibility and supports reliable connectivity across regions and countries. Through KPN's ecosystem of more than 600 network partners, organizations can scale internationally while working with a single connectivity provider.
