In this episode of the IoT Now Trending Tech podcast, host George Malim, managing editor at IoT Now, is joined by KORE’s Mandeep Saini, director of product management, to explore how SGP.32, eSIM and remote SIM provisioning are changing the way enterprises connect and manage large IoT fleets.

From moving beyond carrier lock-in and enabling frictionless connectivity orchestration to creating a true single pane of glass, they discuss why IoT management is shifting from SIM-centric to device-first operations. They also examine the need for governance, the evolving role of mobile operators and satellite connectivity, and why strong partnerships, common standards and device certification remain essential.

Looking ahead, George and Mandeep explore how software-defined connectivity, APIs and agentic AI could make IoT operations increasingly autonomous. They explain why connected devices are becoming continuously evolving pieces of software and what enterprises must do to manage changing profiles, detect abnormal behaviour and operate deployments reliably at scale.

In this episode of the Trending Tech podcast, Transforma Insights’ Jim Morrish sits down with Aeris’ Grant Bishop to map out a path forward. Together, they break down why traditional reactive operations are fundamentally broken, how major new compliance frameworks like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2 are radically reshaping global deployments, and why deep network orchestration is no longer optional. 

In this episode of the Trending Tech podcast, host Satyajit Sinha, principal analyst at IoT Analytics, is joined by Giesecke+Devrient’s (G+D) David Hambling, head of connectivity business development for Asia Pacific, to unpack what the new SGP.32 eSIM specification really means for the Internet of Things (IoT). With IoT connections racing towards 39 billion by 2030, they explore why cellular is growing faster than the wider IoT market, how embedded SIM (eSIM) and integrated SIM (iSIM) adoption is accelerating, and why a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to connectivity is no longer realistic in today’s fragmented global landscape.

From GSMA-compliant SGP.32 and the role of the eIM, to in-factory provisioning (SGP.42), post-quantum security, automotive innovation and the rise of ‘born-connected’ devices, Satyajit and David explain how an end-to-end stack can deliver secure, scalable IoT connectivity for the next decade and what operators, OEMs and automotive manufacturers should be watching very closely over the next 24 months.

In this episode of the IoT Now Podcast, host George Malim explores the fast-evolving world of mission-critical communications with Mark O’Connell, general manager for EMEA and APAC at Globalstar and Jim Morrish, founding partner at Transforma Insights.

From first responders and critical infrastructure to agriculture, environmental monitoring and hazardous-materials transport, mission-critical means something different to every organisation. So how is satellite connectivity stepping up to meet those diverse demands?

Our guests discuss the increasing accessibility of satellite technology, the impact of falling launch and hardware costs and the rise of hybrid terrestrial-satellite systems that keep communications resilient when it matters most. They also examine cybersecurity risks, the role of AI and edge intelligence, and why low Earth orbit (LEO) networks are becoming central to global IoT strategies.

Sit back and listen…
