What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Adopt with guardrails

Why
SGP.32 is a real GSMA standard removing the SMS/TCP-IP dependency that broke eSIM on NB-IoT, certified components are shipping, and GSMA projects 195M downloads by 2029 — but value is gated on MNO and eIM-vendor readiness and the spec slipped ~a year, so adopt only with explicit contractual guardrails.
Next
Shortlist eIM/eUICC vendors with GSMA SGP.32 certification, contractually verify true remote provisioning (not preloaded-only) with each target MNO, and require a configurable/replaceable eIM before signing to avoid lock-in.
