All eSIM-equipped devices managed by SIMPL IoT come pre-loaded with a T-Mobile bootstrap profile, ensuring immediate and reliable initial connectivity out of the box. This enables devices to immediately connect to the most suitable cellular network through Thales Adaptive Connect when deployed in the field. When end customers opt to continue using T-Mobile’s network for operational use, they simply remain on the preloaded profile powering their connected use cases.

The integration of Thales Adaptive Connect with SIMPL’s platform allows customers to automatically manage device connectivity in real-time. Through a user-friendly web portal, enterprises and OEMs can now remotely update device connectivity, streamlining deployment and maintenance processes.

This eliminates the logistical and operational hurdles of updating devices manually or swapping SIM cards significantly as once installed in the field, devices equipped with eSIMs instantly connect to the most appropriate cellular network. This game-changing solution leverages eSIM and GSMA SGP.22/32 technologies, enabling businesses to overcome traditional connectivity constraints.

“This collaboration delivers what IoT enterprises truly need—eSIM and connectivity that simply works. We're eliminating complexity and the fear of eSIM so businesses can focus on innovation, not infrastructure management,” said Ryan Keefe, Chief Operating Officer at SIMPL.

"Thales, SIMPL, and T-Mobile are united in shaping the future of eSIM technology, delivering advanced platforms and pioneering commercial solutions that help our customers thrive," said Mike Fitz, Vice President of Solution Sales, T-Mobile for Business. "By providing seamless, out-of-the-box connectivity and essential tools for global scalability, we empower businesses to grow without limits. This game-changing approach simplifies complex supply chain and IoT connectivity decisions, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and customer success."

“The collaboration between T-Mobile, and SIMPL IoT and Thales represents a major step forward in addressing the challenges of scalability, security, and adaptability in IoT connectivity. With the adoption of Thales Adaptive Connect*, businesses across industries can confidently scale their IoT operations while ensuring seamless, secure, and future-proof connectivity,” said Eva Rudin, Vice President Mobile & Connectivity Solutions at Thales.

*The first market ready solution leveraging both GSMA SGP.22 and SGP.32 technologies.

KABUL, Afghanisan (AP) — Widespread flooding, landslides and lightning strikes triggered by heavy rain and storms across Afghanistan have left 77 people dead and 137 injured over the past 10 days, the country’s Disaster Management Authority said Saturday.

More rain has been forecast for the coming days throughout Afghanistan, and the authority warned the public to stay away from river banks and areas prone to flooding.

So far this year, dozens of people have died due to extreme weather in Afghanistan, an impoverished country that is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events. Earlier this year, heavy snowfall and flash floods left dozens of people dead across the country.

The recent toll includes 26 people killed over the past 48 hours, the disaster authority said. Overall, 793 homes have been completely destroyed and a further 2,673 have been damaged, while floods and landslides have destroyed 337 kilometers (about 210 miles) of roads, it said.

Businesses, agricultural land, water wells and irrigation canals have also been damaged, with more than 5,800 families affected overall, the authority said.

Several highways connecting the country’s capital to the provinces have also been damaged by floods and landslides, forcing travelers to take long, circuitous routes to reach Kabul, Public Works Ministry spokesman Ashraf Haqshinas said Saturday.

They include the Kabul to Jalalabad highway, which is the main route linking the capital to the Pakistani border and eastern Afghan provinces. A landslide and rockfalls, as well as flooding, shut the highway on Thursday morning, and Haqshinas said crews were working to re-open the road.

The Public Works Ministry warned travelers to be cautious when using roads in affected areas.

Flooding has also shut the Salang Pass, a high mountain pass in the Hindu Kush mountain range that connects Kabul to the country’s north, including the major cities of Kunduz and Mazar-e-Sharif.

Snow and heavy rain often trigger flash floods that kill scores, or even hundreds, of people at a time in Afghanistan. In 2024, more than 300 people died in springtime flash floods.
