Solving Energy and Water Utility IoT Connectivity Challenges from Deployment to Decommissioning

At this year’s Enlit Europe, the European largest trade show dedicated to the utilities sector, Sequans and Thales Digital Identity and Security will be showcasing the latest GSMA SGP.32 standard with a Thales eSIM and a Sequans Monarch LTE-M/NB-IoT module, enabling both in-factory and remote provisioning at scale. This partnership brings together the strengths of two industry leaders to offer a future-proof, secure, and highly efficient solution for utility operators.

Utilities are facing increasing demands for reliable, low-power, and secure connectivity. With the rapid growth of smart meters, sensors, and IoT-enabled infrastructure, managing a vast network of connected devices efficiently has never been more critical. Recognizing this need, Sequans and Thales have combined their expertise to deliver a solution that meets the evolving demands of the energy and water sectors.

By integrating Sequans’ ultra-low-power LTE-M/NB-IoT and Cat 1bis solutions—with a seamless roadmap to 5G eRedCap—with Thales’ advanced SGP.32 technology, this joint solution delivers a new standard in utility connectivity.

Key benefits include:

Sequans and Thales are transforming the future of smart utilities with a joint solution built on GSMA SGP.32. Combining secure eSIM technology with a generic IoT SKU, this innovation enables seamless device provisioning—both in-factory and remotely—at scale. Designed for energy efficiency, security, and reliability, it empowers utility companies to accelerate digital transformation, optimize operations, and future-proof their infrastructure.
