Brazilian IoT specialist NLT Telecom has partnered with floLIVE and TNS to promote the adoption of eSIM technology based on the upcoming SGP.32 standard from the GSMA within the Latin American IoT sector. This collaboration aims to enhance device connectivity, streamline operations, and reduce costs across various industries in the region.

floLIVE highlights that the GSMA’s SGP.32 eSIM standard, currently in final approval stages and expected to be launched before the end of 2025, is tailored to meet the specific needs of the IoT market. The standard emphasizes simplified operations, offering increased control and flexibility to service providers and device owners. Security protocols embedded within SGP.32 are designed to provide refined control over network access and data integrity, addressing critical concerns in IoT deployments. The overarching goal of SGP.32 is to facilitate large-scale device connectivity, which could significantly lower logistical and operational expenses for companies across multiple sectors.

This joint initiative also features the development of multi-IMSI solutions, along with customizations at the SIM and APN levels, enabling seamless and autonomous device transitions. Additionally, the partners are working on eSIM orchestration tools with unified control interfaces, further simplifying device management.

“With this collaboration, we’re providing the Brazilian and Latin American markets with high-quality IoT hyperconnectivity through the extensive global network of leading MNOs and MVNOs. This allows for massive device connections across the continent, with remote management and simplified control. It helps reduce logistics costs, enhances operational results, and ensures compliance with local regulations,” said André Martins, CEO of NLT Telecom.

The initial deployment of the new eSIM solutions developed by NLT and floLIVE will target TNS, a global provider of infrastructure as a service with operations in over 60 countries and a growing footprint in Brazil and Latin America.

“The ability to deploy and manage IoT devices effortlessly across borders without local intervention is a major step forward. The comprehensive solution from NLT and floLIVE, including advanced network core, connectivity management, SIM and eSIM technology, and multi-IMSI capabilities, provides us with the confidence and flexibility to expand our growth in Brazil and Latin America,” said Alexandro Araújo, head of Latin America at TNS.

NLT and floLIVE have maintained a collaborative presence in Brazil since 2003, enabling local companies to access global cellular networks efficiently. floLIVE’s extensive infrastructure supports foreign enterprises operating in Brazil through integration with NLT as a mobile virtual network enabler. This partnership builds on their previous joint efforts, including a March 2023 collaboration aimed at providing dual-connectivity solutions to enterprise clients, OEMs, and mobile operators in Brazil and beyond.
