IoT provider Digi has aligned with Simetric to bring validated eSIM orchestration and lifecycle control to its connected-device portfolio, helping users manage distributed IoT environments with more precision, security and flexibility.

As enterprises expand globally, they face growing complexity in managing devices, data and connectivity across carriers. Digi continues to lead the shift towards distributed networking, where visibility, governance and control are unified across operations. The eSIM is central to this transformation, enabling true carrier choice and remote provisioning, but it also demands validation, interoperability and workflow consistency to succeed at scale.

“As connectivity becomes even more critical, customers expect simplicity and control,” said Landon Reese, vice president at Digi. “Using Simetric’s advanced unification platform enables us to simplify the workflow and provide advanced features deliver on the promise of eSIM.”

Simetric’s single-pane-of-glass orchestration platform normalises data and workflows. Its GSMA SGP.32-aligned validation engine ensures consistency across carriers, eSIM providers and enterprise systems, removing adoption friction and giving Digi customers a standardised, trusted eSIM experience.

Simetric’s technology enables eSIM implementation across the ecosystem to guarantee compliance and performance. This collaboration positions Digi among the first IoT providers aligning commercial deployments to GSMA .32 standards, setting a benchmark for interoperability and lifecycle governance in distributed networking.

Global eSIM growth is redefining connected infrastructure. Juniper Research projects 3.4 billion IoT eSIM connections by 2025, climbing to 40 billion by 2034. Meanwhile, a GSMA Intelligence study found 81 per cent of enterprises view eSIM as essential to their IoT strategies, highlighting the need for validated orchestration platforms capable of managing this scale.

This announcement forms part of Digi’s broader communications leading into Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress (www.mwcbarcelona.com) in March 2026, where Digi will showcase continued innovation in validated eSIM management. Simetric’s ongoing orchestration work with ecosystem companies, including Kigen (kigen.com), is helping define the technical foundation for scalable, standards-based distributed networking, making Digi a real-world example of how enterprises can operationalise validated connectivity.

“Digi represents the future of connected operations,” said Allen Boone, CEO at Simetric. “By aligning around GSMA .32 validation and distributed orchestration, Digi is setting the tone for how enterprises will manage global connectivity moving forward.”

Founded in 1985, Digi (www.digi.com) has helped customers connect more than 100 million things and counting.

Based in Georgia, USA, Simetric (simetric.com) provides CMP orchestration and a workflow platform across the IoT and edge networking ecosystem. Its patented, bi-modal platform normalises the operational discrepancies across over 300 cellular and satellite networks to unify the fractured IoT ecosystem into effective workflows with tailored process and device controls for enterprises and MNOs. Its platform enables device lifecycle workflow for millions of devices to enhance operational efficiency, revenue assurance and tailored cyber-security postures.
