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.
