Aeris and Telna Partner to Eliminate Global IoT Connectivity Fragmentation, Expanding IoT Accelerator Coverage in Brazil TMCnet News [October 06, 2026] | / | Aeris and Telna Partner to Eliminate Global IoT Connectivity Fragmentation, Expanding IoT Accelerator Coverage in Brazil Aeris, the secure connectivity platform for Physical AI and intelligent IoT devices, today announced a strategic partnership with Telna, a provider of managed global network infrastructure for cellular connectivity. The partnership combines the Aeris IoT Accelerator (IoTA) platform and Aeris IoT Watchtower(R) security suite with Telna's cloud-native core network to eliminate the connectivity fragmentation that slows multinational IoT deployments, starting with Brazil. Telna joins a growing community of Tier-1 operators on IoT Accelerator, giving enterprises, OEMs, and managed service providers (MSPs) a simpler way to scale, secure and manage IoT programs across borders. "Multinational enterprises shouldn't have to rebuild their IoT program every time they enter a new country," said Mark Cratsenberg, Chief Commercial Officer,Aeris. "Welcoming Telna to the IoT Accelerator community gives our customers compliant, low-latency access to Brazil through the same platform and security they already use worldwide. It's another step toward truly borderless connectivity for Physical AI and intelligent, mission-critical IoT." Unlocking Brazil's High-Growth IoT Verticals Brazil restricts permanent roaming, which has long forced global enterprises to negotiate separate local agreements or run parallel connectivity stacks. With Telna's local IMSI profiles in Brazil and 800+ network agreements across 200+ countries and territories, Aeris customers can now reach Brazil's fast-growing agribusiness, industrial IoT, healthcare and automotive markets on compliant local connectivity, managed alongside the rest of their global fleet. Zero-Touch eSIM and Intelligent Local Breakout The joint solution delivers zero-touch eSIM provisioning, so devices connect in market without SIM swaps or country-by-country onboarding. Telna's geo-redundant Points of Presence, combined with Aeris' global Tier-1 operator agreements, enable intelligent local breakout that keeps mission-critical traffic close to the device, sharply lowering latency for autonomous systems, connected vehicles and edge AI. IoT Accelerator is also the only IoT platform with security monitoring and protection fully integrated into the cellular network, giving every device zero-trust protection from day one. "Telna built a cloud-native core so connectivity could move at the speed of our partners' businesses, and local IMSIs are the foundation of making that connectivity compliant for the long term," said Gregory Gundelfinger, Founder and CEO, Telna. "Together with Aeris, we give enterprises and OEMs a single, secure path to scale in one of the world's most dynamic IoT markets. Brazil is where we start, but it is not where we stop. Telna will keep bringing new local profiles onto IoT Accelerator so their customers can expand into restricted markets as fast as their business demands and operate there for the full life of the device." One Interface, Lower Total Cost of Ownership By consolidating connectivity, security and management into a single interface on IoT Accelerator, the partnership lets customers enter new markets without new carrier contracts or device redesigns. It also counters the cost inflation in international markets that erodes competitiveness and total cost of ownership.

Aeris extends IoT eSIM orchestration for physical AI. Physical AI and intelligent connectivity platform intros orchestrator for IoT accelerator, adding support for the GSMA SGP.32 specification alongside single SKU eSIM and identity as a service. Published: 02 Oct 2026 16:30 Looking to enable businesses to use the same internet of things (IoT) connectivity service across networks with local subscriber identity module (SIM) profiles, connectivity provider Aeris has unveiled its eSIM Orchestrator for its IoT Accelerator global connectivity management platform. Among the key features offered by the system include support for the GSMA SGP.32 specification for IoT eSIM remote management, single SKU eSIM and Aeris eIM as a service (eIMaaS). The result of this combination, says the company, is to enable enterprises to scale global IoT deployments while minimising complexity. And, significantly, Aeris noted that the launch addressed the needs of business in the era of physical AI. "The future of IoT is increasingly tied to the rise of physical AI, as connected vehicles, machines and infrastructure become more intelligent and autonomous," said Aeris chief product officer Jon Connet. "That evolution demands connectivity that can adapt as devices move across markets and networks and requirements change. Our new IoT eSIM capabilities build on Aeris's proven IoT platform leadership to make that possible at global scale." The eSIM developments are designed to strengthen the Aeris IoT Accelerator platform, which manages 110 million IoT devices, 44 million of which are eSIM-based, representing more than 40% of its installed base compared. A connection to Aeris IoT Accelerator now gives customers access to a community of 30 operators with pre-integrated support across all three generations of eSIM standards. Support for the SGP.32 IoT eSIM specification for remote management is designed to elevate the product to an environment that already supports the SGP.02 M2M eSIM and SGP.22 Consumer eSIM specifications. Created by the GSMA, the industry body responsible for mobile communication standards, SGP.32 is a global, next-generation eSIM standard for remote SIM provisioning (RSP) in IoT devices - especially those with no user interface. It is designed to enable the large-scale, hands-off management of eSIM profiles, making it easier to deploy and operate IoT without physical access. It also makes it easier to remotely manage IoT device connections, particularly constrained endpoints. While eSIM technology has been available for consumer devices, managing these digital SIM profiles in IoT devices comes with unique challenges. For example, many IoT devices lack a user interface, making manual SIM management impractical. SGP.32 addresses such limitations and builds on existing eSIM technology, introducing a more efficient way to remotely manage IoT connectivity. It is intended to allow SIM profiles to be managed remotely through a centralised platform, enabling automated updates and provisioning - even for devices without user interfaces or located in hard-to-reach areas. Also, the SGP.32 standard also introduces the eSIM Orchestrator (eSO) role, which manages profile lifecycle, network selection, compliance and unified billing. * Wholesale routing choices create 'massive' eSIM performance gaps: Analysis finds hidden challenges in wholesale embedded subscriber identity module infrastructure and routing architecture, even for users on the exact same host network. * Telna, MTN Bayobab deliver eSIM services across Africa: Managed connectivity and mobile services provider partners with leading African telco to deliver travel embedded SIM services across multiple markets across the continent. * Singtel and Thales launch multi-operator IoT eSIM network: Bridge Alliance service will allow enterprises to provision and manage connected devices across four Asia-Pacific mobile operators through a single platform. * Truecaller rings up Telna to power in-app travel eSIM service: Caller ID and spam call-blocking service selects multi-network infrastructure to power its recently launched travel eSIM service, allowing users to buy and activate a global eSIM directly in app. Aeris says it is introducing three capabilities to build on that foundation: SGP.32 eSIM orchestrator for automated profile management; single SKU eSIM for simpler global deployment; and eIM as a service (eIMaaS), a fully managed eSIM IoT remote manager (eIM). As regards the former, the company notes that instead of managing profiles device-by-device, customers can use policies and events to automate which local profile a device holds, when it downloads it, what it's permitted to do and what happens when something fails. Second, it says it is attempting to allow OEMs to build and ship one device variant globally, while enterprises can deploy the same device model across markets and assign the appropriate local operator profile after deployment. That reduces the need for market-specific SIM or device variants and lets connectivity decisions happen closer to deployment. Users are able to use eIMaaS, a fully managed eIM integrated into IoT Accelerator to provide a service for SGP .32 profile switching. Alternatively, users can bring their own eIM of choice from eSIM suppliers such Thales, G+D, Kigen and Idemia. "For enterprises, the challenge isn't changing a SIM profile on one device; it's doing it reliably across thousands or millions of devices," said Connet. "SGP.32 provides the foundation, but orchestration makes it work at global scale. Aeris enables customers to use the same IoT connectivity service across networks with local SIM profiles, combining the flexibility of roaming with the advantages of local connectivity." Aeris also believes that as connected systems become more intelligent and autonomous, their connectivity has to keep pace. Physical AI deployments such as autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics and smart infrastructure need to operate across markets and networks without manual reconfiguration as devices move or requirements evolve. The company added that the expanded IoT eSIM orchestration offering gives IoT Accelerator another critical layer of control for the Physical AI environment. Policy-based management lets connectivity adapt remotely across markets and device lifecycles, while single SKU eSIM and eIMaaS reduce deployment and operational complexity.

Aeris has launched its next-generation eSIM Orchestrator for IoT connectivity management, adding support for the GSMA SGP.32 specification. The platform now manages 110 million IoT devices, with 44 million using eSIM technology—representing over 40% of its installed base, compared to 12% for the broader market. The enhanced solution introduces three key capabilities: automated profile management through the SGP.32 eSIM Orchestrator, Single SKU eSIM for simplified global deployment, and eSIM as a Service (eIMaaS) for flexible operations. OEMs can now build single device variants for worldwide deployment rather than creating market-specific versions. Aeris serves over 7,000 enterprise customers, with devices connecting in more than 200 countries monthly. The platform provides access to 30 mobile network operators and supports all three generations of eSIM standards. Frost & Sullivan recognised Aeris as a Global Competitive Strategy Leader for IoT connectivity management in 2025 and 2026.
