IoT Connectivity Expands with Soracom's Unveiling of "Connectivity Hypervisor," Offering Enhanced Flexibility and Control on a Global Scale.
Soracom, a global provider of advanced IoT connectivity solutions, is announcing the upcoming release of SORACOM Connectivity Hypervisor, a new platform capability designed to provide flexible and centralized management of cellular connectivity for global IoT deployments [1][6].
The Connectivity Hypervisor is set to revolutionize the way IoT devices connect and switch between network profiles, offering unprecedented control over cellular networks across multiple countries and carriers. This innovation comes as SGP.32, the next-generation standard for remote SIM provisioning in IoT, is rapidly becoming a requirement in automotive RFPs [7].
With the Connectivity Hypervisor, devices can automatically connect using a pre-installed Soracom profile upon activation. They can then switch to the most appropriate local or use-case-specific profile based on geographic location or application needs, reducing logistical complexity and downtime while ensuring continuous, optimized connectivity across regions [1][3].
The Connectivity Hypervisor supports multi-profile orchestration, incorporating both Soracom and third-party mobile network operator (MNO) profiles, facilitating single-SKU global deployment and compliance with permanent roaming regulations. It also offers connectivity optimization (e.g., profiles suited for high data or voice use cases) and built-in redundancy via fallback to Soracom’s profile, enhancing reliability and network resilience [1][3].
Notably, the Connectivity Hypervisor is fully compatible with GSMA SGP.32, the next-generation eSIM remote provisioning and management standard. This compatibility enables automated, remote switching and provisioning of SIM profiles across carriers without requiring physical SIM swaps, simplifying deployment complexity particularly for industries like automotive and IoT solutions operating internationally [1][2][3].
Soracom's solutions are trusted by over 20,000 startups, SMBs, and enterprises, and the company is proud to work with industry leaders such as Toyota Motor Corporation under the Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) on demonstration projects like IRIGATE, which explores stable, flexible connectivity for connected vehicles [4].
