Smart Connectivity Premium adds local carrier profiles to a single SKU, managed through the AirVantage eSIM orchestrator

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading provider of high-performance semiconductors powering AI data center networking and intelligent, connected Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices worldwide, today launched the SGP.32 version of its Smart Connectivity Premium. The global, multi-network, multi-profile eSIM solution gives IoT customers one SKU that pairs the Smart Connectivity profile with local carrier profiles.

Semtech brings Smart Connectivity Premium and mobile network operator (MNO) partner profiles together in the AirVantage® eSIM orchestrator, a single platform for orchestration, bulk provisioning, subscription and lifecycle management.

Global IoT deployments need more connectivity flexibility than traditional SIM architectures can deliver. Common challenges include single-carrier dependency, which leads to vendor lock-in and a greater risk of outages; permanent roaming restrictions; and having to replace SIMs in the event of network sunsets or changes in provider.

The GSMA’s SGP.32 standard tackles these challenges. Semtech brings Smart Connectivity Premium and mobile network operator (MNO) partner profiles together in the AirVantage® eSIM orchestrator, a single platform for orchestration, bulk provisioning, subscription and lifecycle management. Customers can manage deployments through the AirVantage user interface or connect to their own platforms through its APIs. AirVantage is built on AWS, giving customers a secure, scalable platform for managing IoT connectivity at global scale.

With Smart Connectivity Premium, customers can add MNO profiles on top of Semtech’s multi-IMSI Smart Connectivity Advanced profile to localize device deployments across technologies and data usage volumes. The PowerSave eSIM, a multi-network, dual-profile solution built for battery-constrained devices, optimizes attach time and is designed to help transfer critical data without impacting battery life.

“Adoption of eSIMs in the cellular IoT market is entering a new phase of growth. With roughly 12% of cellular IoT devices using an eSIM at the end of 2025, SGP.32 is lowering the barriers to adoption by simplifying remote provisioning and profile management. Multi-profile eSIMs combined with centralized orchestration will provide greater flexibility and control over connectivity for enterprises operating across multiple networks and regions,” said Fredrik Stalbrand, principal analyst at Berg Insight.

“Customers’ deployments vary widely, as does the level of control they need. With SGP.32, they can add local carrier profiles to a single SKU and choose the deployment model that fits their business, from a preloaded eSIM to self-configuration, all managed in AirVantage. Smart Connectivity Premium gave multi-profile on SGP.02, and SGP.32 gives more flexibility in deployment,” said Rupa Datta, vice president of IoT Connected Services at Semtech.

Fixed applications like smart metering and video surveillance benefit from a single SKU with a global Smart Connectivity profile and additional MNO profiles. This helps address permanent roaming restrictions and supports failover. Mobile assets gain multi-carrier support for resilience and coverage across regions, with the potential to add alternate connectivity technologies like non-terrestrial networks (NTN).

The solution is automated, so customers do not need to prompt downloads or switches. Semtech’s eSIM applet works with the device to download, enable and switch profiles when needed.

Smart Connectivity Premium is built on GSMA-certified eSIM and eIM technology from Kigen, which holds GSMA eUICC Security Assurance (eSA) certification and supports SGP.32 v1.3.

Key Highlights

• Two configurations: a preloaded PowerSave eSIM for battery-constrained devices, and the full Premium solution, which lets customers download MNO profiles on top of the Smart Connectivity Advanced profile. Both are managed through AirVantage.
• One SIM, one platform, one provider: Smart Connectivity, now with multi-profile support.

Availability

The solution is generally available starting today. Semtech expects to expand this multi-profile capability to additional carriers and markets in the months ahead. Interested businesses can contact Semtech and learn more about their SGP.32 offer at https://www.semtech.com/sgp-32.

Key Terms

eSIM technical

An esim is a small, built-in electronic SIM card inside a phone, tablet or connected device that stores mobile network credentials digitally instead of using a removable plastic card. For investors it matters because it changes how carriers sell and manage subscriptions, lowers logistics costs for device makers, enables easier switching between networks or plans (including global roaming), and expands opportunities in Internet-of-Things connectivity and recurring revenue services.

mno technical

MNO stands for mobile network operator, a company that builds and runs the wireless networks people use for phone calls, texts and mobile data. Think of an MNO as the owner of the roads and toll booths for mobile traffic: its network quality, coverage and pricing shape how many customers it attracts and how much revenue each customer generates, so changes in an MNO’s spectrum, subscribers or regulations can have direct financial impact for investors.

multi-imsi technical

A multi-IMSI SIM or eSIM stores more than one International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), letting a single physical or embedded SIM present different mobile subscriber identities to cellular networks at different times. The device switches between IMSIs according to rules programmed by the SIM or network—for example to use a local operator profile while roaming or to change between operators—yet each IMSI still requires separate provisioning and operator acceptance, so multi-IMSI enables flexible network access but does not bypass the need for valid subscriptions and network agreements.
