Simetric has announced a partnership with Thales to deliver a next-generation, best-of-breed eSIM orchestration for OEMs and enterprises operating large scale IoT and edge efforts, providing global execution continuity. Led by Simetric’s single-pane-of-glass (SPoG) network orchestration platform, the joint solution integrates Thales’ GSMA-certified eSIM provisioning, Advanced eSIM Orchestration (eSO) and trusted security capabilities. Together, the companies deliver an end-to-end solution that simplifies eSIM adoption while providing enterprises with centralised visibility, policy control and enterprise-grade security across multi-carrier, multi-region IoT deployments.

“eSIM is no longer just a provisioning function – it has become the operational and security control plane for the network edge,” said Allen Boone, the chief executive of Simetric. “By integrating Thales’ trusted eSIM and RSP foundation directly into Simetric’s single-pane-of-glass orchestration platform, we are giving OEMs and enterprises the ability to manage connectivity, security and policy across millions of devices with unprecedented clarity, resilience and control.”

As industries such as utilities, video security, asset tracking, routers, mPOS, smart metering, medical devices and automotive accelerate the transition from physical SIMs to eSIM-enabled architectures, enterprises face increasing operational fragmentation across carriers, platforms, and legacy tools. Maintaining service continuity now requires real-time control over activation and deactivation, fallback logic, performance policies, diagnostics and remediation – alongside unified governance, ticketing, analytics and security posture management.

Simetric’s SPoG platform addresses these challenges by acting as the orchestration and policy layer above networks, terrestrial and satellite and connectivity platforms, while Thales provides the secure, standards-based eSIM foundation and orchestration required for mission-critical deployments of these essential networked devices.

“Orchestrating secure connectivity at global scale requires more than provisioning—it requires trust, standards compliance, and operational simplicity,” said Guillaume Lafaix, the vice president of Connectivity Solutions and Embedded Software at Thales. “By integrating Thales’ industry-leading eSIM security and orchestration capabilities with Simetric’s SPoG platform, we are enabling enterprises and OEMs to deploy and manage IoT connectivity with confidence, security, and scale.”
