How SGP.32 is reshaping IoT connectivity and security
Thursday, 15 January, 2026

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.
