Velos has announced a partnership with Idemia Secure Transactions to enhance global IoT connectivity through embedded SIM technology.

This collaboration integrates French company Idemia’s eSIM and subscription management into Velos IoT’s UltimateSIM, addressing the increasing security demands of enterprise IoT deployments.

The enhanced eSIM lets enterprises securely manage IoT connectivity across multiple networks worldwide, supporting the rapid expansion of connected devices. With this partnership, Velos IoT could enable millions of new secure connections over the coming years.

By integrating Idemia’s connectivity technology, Jersey-based Velos is reinforcing security against unauthorised access and cyber threats. This collaboration embeds encryption and secure authentication measures, ensuring businesses can confidently deploy IoT with uncompromised security and seamless global connectivity.

“Security has always been at the core of Velos IoT, and partnering with Idemia reinforces our on-going commitment to delivering seamless, secure and scalable IoT connectivity for our customers,” said Colin Chew, CEO of Velos IoT. “Security remains one of the biggest challenges in IoT, as highlighted by GSMA Intelligence, with enterprises requiring stronger safeguards against evolving cyber threats. This collaboration ensures businesses can rely on robust, flexible global connectivity with industry-leading security. Together, we are simplifying IoT deployment complexities and enabling enterprises to scale confidently, knowing their devices will remain secure in the field for years with Idemia’s advanced eSIM technology.”

According to GSMA Intelligence, IoT connections are projected to exceed 38.5 billion by 2030. Licensed cellular IoT connections alone are expected to reach 5.8 billion globally, with enterprise applications accounting for more than 60% of the market.

Features of UltimateSIM (velosiot.com/ultimatesim) include cryptographic protection and secure authentication, over-the-air provisioning capabilities, multi-network support with encrypted profile management, dynamic profile management, and device and network monitoring.

“We are excited to partner with Velos IoT to bring secure, flexible and future-proof connectivity to enterprises worldwide,” said Fabien Jautard, executive vice president at Idemia Secure Transactions (www.idemia.com/business/idemia-secure-transactions). “By integrating our eUICC technology into Velos IoT’s UltimateSIM and providing the subscription management platform, we enable seamless remote provisioning, enhanced security and global scalability. This collaboration ensures that businesses can efficiently manage their IoT deployments across multiple networks without operational complexity, reinforcing our shared commitment to innovation in the IoT ecosystem.”

With industrial IoT expected to see a CAGR of 20% till 2030, as reported by the GSMA, the strengthened security framework and multi-network capabilities of UltimateSIM ensure enterprises can scale efficiently. This benefits industries such as smart metering, industrial IoT and telematics, where secure global connectivity is crucial.
