SGP.32 eSIM technology from German security-tech company Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) has been integrated into Amazon’s recently announced Eero Signal.

This collaboration marks one of the first commercial deployments of the SGP.32 standard, and represents a milestone in advancing connected home and IoT technologies.

Today’s IoT ecosystem faces growing complexity for device makers and service providers, particularly around SKU management, ensuring a seamless customer experience in background carrier selection, and maintaining flexibility across different go-to-market channels.

Eero Signal helps solve these problems when combined with the power of G+D’s SGP.32 eSIM technology, providing a single SKU that eliminates the need for physical SIM card handling.

SGP.32 brings the benefits of automatic network activation and seamless connectivity management – previously seen in smartphones – to IoT devices such as Eero Signal, combining this capability with Eero’s wifi networks. Eero Signal enhances Eero networks with a dedicated cellular backup connection for home or business wifi continuing the promise of connectivity that just works.

In addition to introducing SGP.32 for the first time, the integration highlights the growing momentum of eSIM and 5G RedCap adoption. By incorporating these two technologies into Eero Signal, G+D and Eero have set the foundation for broader industry adoption, encouraging carriers to accelerate their support for these standards. With multiple tier-one carriers working with Eero to provide connectivity for Eero Signal, the collaboration signals the start of a larger market shift, helping accelerate industry readiness and unlocking growth opportunities.

For device makers, SGP.32 streamlines processes, reduces costs and enhances scalability by simplifying integration and maintenance while enabling faster rollout of features and updates. For consumers, the integration of G+D’s SGP.32 eSIM technology into Eero Signal delivers tangible advantages, including seamless connectivity, automatic carrier selection, enhanced device reliability and improved service continuity, all without the hassle of a physical SIM card.

“At Eero, our customers have depended on us for reliable connectivity for more than a decade,” said Gabe Kassel, head of product at Eero. “We understand how disruptive internet outages can be. That’s why we introduced Eero Signal to provide backup connectivity during an internet outage. Thanks to our collaboration with G+D on SGP.32, Eero devices can seamlessly load additional carrier profiles over an existing internet connection without pre-existing cellular connectivity, allowing easy and fast switching between carriers. We can’t wait for customers to try Eero Signal.”

Philipp Schulte, CEO of G+D mobile security, added: “The adoption of G+D’s SGP.32 eSIM technology in Eero Signal represents a major step forward for secure, flexible connectivity across the IoT ecosystem. By enabling dynamic connectivity management and eliminating the need for physical SIM handling, this collaboration sets a new global standard for how connected devices communicate.” 

Eero is working with multiple tier-one mobile network operators (MNOs) to bring this innovation to customers. Eero Signal (www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/eero-wifi) will debut in the USA in early 2026, with plans to expand to other countries.
