Digi International announced the release of an SGP.32 compatible eSIM accessory to bring comprehensive SIM management to its connected device portfolio. By aligning commercial deployments with GSMA .32 standards, Digi becomes one of the first IoT solution providers to set a benchmark for interoperability and lifecycle governance in distributed networking. Global eSIM adoption continues to accelerate.
Juniper research projects 4.9 billion cellular connections will use eSIMs by 2030, rising from 1.2 billion in 2025. Additionally, a GSMA intelligence study found that 81% of enterprises view eSIM as essential to their IoT strategies. These trends highlight the need for validated orchestration platforms that can scale with evolving infrastructure demands.
As enterprises expand across regions and networks, they face increasing challenges in managing devices, data, and multi-carrier connectivity. Digi continues to advance the industry shift toward distributed networking, where visibility, governance, and control can be harmonized across global operations. Digi eSIM plays a pivotal role in this model, enabling some key game-changing capabilities for cellular customers by utilizing a pre-installed " bootstrap" data-plan as part of the management package.
For example, customers can: Quickly deploy a cellular WAN-only device in the field without manual staging; Easily switch carriers or carrier rate plans without needing to roll a truck; Reduce mechanical and theft problems that occur with removable SIMs; Recover quickly from carrier outages or performance degradation; Optimize cost and performance, while improving carrier agility.
