SGP.02
The legacy M2M eSIM provisioning generation, managed through subscription-manager servers, with no over-the-air path to SGP.32.
Definitions only — a term explained here is not a service we sell.
SGP.02 is the machine-to-machine eSIM provisioning generation managed through subscription-manager servers. Installed devices cannot be upgraded to SGP.32 over the air, so a fleet plans a hardware cycle rather than a software update.
New fleets choose SGP.32. Installed SGP.02 bases stay for years, certified against the older specification.
Profile lifecycle
SGP.22 (consumer)
- 1 Order
- 2 Scan the QR code
- 3 Profile downloads Current step
- 4 Enable on the device
SGP.32 (IoT)
- 1 Order
- 2 eIM selects a profile
- 3 Profile downloads Current step
- 4 No person at the device
Text description
The SGP.22 track runs from order to QR scan, download and enable on the device. The SGP.32 track replaces the scan with a selection by the IoT manager and needs no person at the device.
What to check
Inventory the installed base by module, eUICC and firmware, and name the SM-SR that manages the installed eUICCs and the SM-DP that prepared the profiles. Ask whether profiles can be exported, re-issued or deleted at contract end. Bring the SGP.22 vs SGP.32 comparison to the hardware planner.
