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:

• Effortless eSIM automation: Utilities can now activate and manage connected devices with unmatched ease, reducing manual intervention and operational overhead.
• Dynamic lifecycle management: From deployment to decommissioning, the solution enables streamlined operations, making it easier to maintain large-scale networks of devices.
• State-of-the-art security: Leveraging GSMA eSA-certified technology, the platform ensures robust, end-to-end security for all connected devices, safeguarding critical infrastructure.

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.
