Kigen Wins “IoT Solution of the Year” in 2025 Mobile Breakthrough Awards Program
Prestigious International Awards Program Honors Top Mobile and Wireless Companies and Solutions Around the Globe
CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kigen, a global leader in eSIM and pioneer of integrated SIM (iSIM) security solutions, today announced that its eIM solution has been named “IoT Solution of the Year” in the 9th annual Mobile Breakthrough Awards program conducted by Mobile Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global wireless and mobile market today.
The Kigen eIM solution is the first fully GSMA-accredited eSIM IoT Manager (eIM) for IoT eSIMs, aligned with GSMA SGP.32 latest specifications. Compatible with both Kigen Consumer eSIM OS and IoT eSIM OS, Kigen eIM allows users to leverage the latest features of the most compact eSIM OS, fine-tuned for cellular LPWAN networks IoT. The eIM plays a key role in optimizing the entire lifecycle of eSIMs or eUICCs – from profile download, activation, deactivation and updates. Kigen eIM enables streamlined indirect profile downloads, reducing the bandwidth and energy consumption required for NB-IOT and LPWAN devices and improving security postures of deployments.
Kigen eSIM OS features are available via the Kigen device C-SDK, an embedded-C library that enables quick feature integration into devices. Kigen eSIM OS includes in-factory profile provisioning, secure element functions, and intelligent device logic for seamless profile switching to prevent connectivity losses.
The eIM works with any SM-DP services, and its binding and transport protocol translation maximizes interoperability, allowing access to legacy SM-DP+ services that do not have built-in support for indirect profile download. Open APIs, help customers unify all eSIM management, including M2M, consumer and IOT eSIM RSPs with Kigen Pulse, a centralized console with a user-friendly, unified experience for managing all Kigen services.
“We built our eIM to address how compact and ultra-efficient eSIM management operations can be carried out for single-charge battery-powered devices. By leveraging automated and bulk profile management, providers can streamline their operations without requiring extensive backend infrastructure changes,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO of Kigen. “Thank you to Mobile Breakthrough for recognizing our innovation. What sets us apart is our support for flexible and dynamic connectivity. With the ability to have full control of eSIM profiles at scale, providers can ensure reliable service wherever devices are deployed.”
The mission of the annual Mobile Breakthrough Awards is to honor breakthrough innovation across a wide spectrum of mobile and wireless technology categories, including 5G technologies, Cloud Computing, Mobile Device Management, Wireless and Broadband, Mobile Analytics, Internet-of-Things and Smart City, Mobile Security and more.
