Onomondo has announced a partnership with Kigen to offer companies deploying IoT products connectivity with the full benefits of the new SGP.32 eSIMs. The offering is already in use: early customers are testing and deploying devices today in Europe and North America on Onomondo’s preloaded connectivity, running on Kigen’s certified eUICC SIMs.
The offering is built to be simple to adopt. Onomondo’s connectivity is preloaded onto Kigen’s certified SGP.32 SIMs at the factory, so devices arrive with connectivity already on board, and nothing to scan, download, or activate after they ship.
SGP.32 is the GSMA’s eSIM standard built for IoT at scale. It lets companies manage a device’s cellular connectivity over-the-air, instead of being locked to the single provider chosen before the device ships. The standard also introduces enhancements that extend remote management of eSIMs to large fleets of devices with ease.
The standard has drawn no shortage of announcements over the past year: partnerships, roadmaps, and ‘coming soon’ commitments. Onomondo’s announcement comes as enterprises evaluate how to scale IoT deployments using connectivity customers are already running – not future roadmaps. This announcement reflects Onomondo’s approach to connectivity: giving customers the freedom to choose how they connect and manage their fleets. That’s why Onomondo works with established SIM manufacturers like Kigen, ensuring connectivity fits the hardware decisions customers are already making. SGP.32 extends that freedom by removing lifetime connectivity lock-in. Kigen provides GSMA-certified, IoT-grade SGP.32 SIMs in all standard SIM form factors, including solderable MFF2 and the ultra-compact 2 x 2 mm MFF4 formats. Onomondo provides the network infrastructure and management platform, built on a single core network spanning more than 180 countries, giving customers real-time visibility into how their connected fleets are performing.
In April 2026, the IoT community IoT Stars ran the first independent, public, and real-world test of SGP.32 across multiple vendors, migrating live devices between connectivity providers over the air using Kigen’s GSMA SAS-certified eIM. Onomondo was one of the connectivity providers to successfully show full commercial delivery of its production profile and ease of profile switching by this standard.
“There’s a lot of noise around SGP.32 right now between the announcements and roadmaps,” said Henrik Aagaard, CTO and Co-founder of Onomondo. “We’d rather show than tell. And we are proud to have customers deploying on our connectivity today with SGP.32 eSIMs, on Kigen’s certified SGP.32 eSIMs. We’ve always been committed to giving our customers the freedom to leave, and to choose connectivity that fits exactly what their business needs.”
“The combination of Kigen’s SGP.32 eSIM management solution and Onomondo’s global connectivity gives enterprises a proven foundation for secure, interoperable, and scalable IoT deployments without added complexity,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO of Kigen. “We are delighted to welcome Onomondo to the growing ecosystem of leading connectivity providers helping businesses scale IoT with confidence. As the first Nordic connectivity provider to be commercially available directly on Kigen eSIMs, Onomondo is helping simplify global IoT deployment and accelerate adoption across the region.”
