Semtech Launches SGP.32 Multi-Profile eSIM for Global IoT Deployments

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 9, 2026--

Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading provider of high-performance semiconductors powering AI data center networking and intelligent, connected Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices worldwide, today launched the SGP.32 version of its Smart Connectivity Premium. The global, multi-network, multi-profile eSIM solution gives IoT customers one SKU that pairs the Smart Connectivity profile with local carrier profiles.

Global IoT deployments need more connectivity flexibility than traditional SIM architectures can deliver. Common challenges include single-carrier dependency, which leads to vendor lock-in and a greater risk of outages; permanent roaming restrictions; and having to replace SIMs in the event of network sunsets or changes in provider.

The GSMA’s SGP.32 standard tackles these challenges. Semtech brings Smart Connectivity Premium and mobile network operator (MNO) partner profiles together in the AirVantage® eSIM orchestrator, a single platform for orchestration, bulk provisioning, subscription and lifecycle management. Customers can manage deployments through the AirVantage user interface or connect to their own platforms through its APIs. AirVantage is built on AWS, giving customers a secure, scalable platform for managing IoT connectivity at global scale.

With Smart Connectivity Premium, customers can add MNO profiles on top of Semtech’s multi-IMSI Smart Connectivity Advanced profile to localize device deployments across technologies and data usage volumes. The PowerSave eSIM, a multi-network, dual-profile solution built for battery-constrained devices, optimizes attach time and is designed to help transfer critical data without impacting battery life.

“Adoption of eSIMs in the cellular IoT market is entering a new phase of growth. With roughly 12% of cellular IoT devices using an eSIM at the end of 2025, SGP.32 is lowering the barriers to adoption by simplifying remote provisioning and profile management. Multi-profile eSIMs combined with centralized orchestration will provide greater flexibility and control over connectivity for enterprises operating across multiple networks and regions,” said Fredrik Stalbrand, principal analyst at Berg Insight.

“Customers’ deployments vary widely, as does the level of control they need. With SGP.32, they can add local carrier profiles to a single SKU and choose the deployment model that fits their business, from a preloaded eSIM to self-configuration, all managed in AirVantage. Smart Connectivity Premium gave multi-profile on SGP.02, and SGP.32 gives more flexibility in deployment,” said Rupa Datta, vice president of IoT Connected Services at Semtech.

Fixed applications like smart metering and video surveillance benefit from a single SKU with a global Smart Connectivity profile and additional MNO profiles. This helps address permanent roaming restrictions and supports failover. Mobile assets gain multi-carrier support for resilience and coverage across regions, with the potential to add alternate connectivity technologies like non-terrestrial networks (NTN).

The solution is automated, so customers do not need to prompt downloads or switches. Semtech’s eSIM applet works with the device to download, enable and switch profiles when needed.

Smart Connectivity Premium is built on GSMA-certified eSIM and eIM technology from Kigen, which holds GSMA eUICC Security Assurance (eSA) certification and supports SGP.32 v1.3.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina requested a new passport Monday to facilitate her return from exile two years after she was ousted in a mass uprising.

The government has been seeking her extradition from India and earlier dismissed suggestions she needed new identification documents to return home. Hasina told The Associated Press in an interview this month that she would return to Bangladesh in December at any cost.

In a letter seen by The Associated Press that was emailed to Bangladesh's diplomatic mission in New Delhi, a counsel of Hasina urged the top diplomat to take necessary action to provide her a passport and national identity card.

The letter, sent by London-based law firm Matrix Chambers, asked the mission for the application to be processed “expeditiously” on the basis of Hasina's Bangladeshi nationality and in accordance with “obligations arising under international human rights instruments."

“This is a significant step toward her homecoming. Having had her documents revoked by the previous regime, Her Excellency looks forward to reclaiming her fundamental rights as a Bangladeshi citizen and receiving the necessary documents,” Abu Obaidha Arin, an aide to Hasina, told the AP.

“She is determined to return to Bangladesh by December, and she will undoubtedly return home,” he said.

It was not immediately possible to obtain comment from the Bangladesh government.

On Thursday, Junior Minister for Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir said Bangladesh wants Hasina to be handed over under an extradition treaty with India. India has declined to hand her over.

“We want Hasina to be handed over. She will be handed over. She is a terrorist. She is a fugitive. There is an active extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India,” he told reporters in Dhaka.

Bangladesh's military sent Hasina to India after student-led protests forced her from power on Aug. 5, 2024. A special tribunal in 2025 sentenced her to death for crimes against humanity, ruling that she was responsible for ordering the crackdown, which left hundreds of people dead and thousands of others injured.

The United Nations has said nearly 1,400 people were killed. Hasina denies any wrongdoing. She also has rejected the tribunal’s verdict and challenged the legitimacy of the trial.

An interim government, headed by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, led Bangladesh after Hasina's ouster and held an election in February that Hasina’s Awami League party was barred from contesting.

Tarique Rahman, the son of a longtime archrival of Hasina, came to power in a landslide.
