From Factory to Field: emnify Launches OEM Program with Free SGP.32 Bootstrap Connectivity
SHENZHEN, China, August 25, 2026--emnify, a global provider of cloud-native IoT connectivity, today announced a new program for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) building connected products for international markets.
The program addresses two common challenges for OEMs: testing and configuring devices that would otherwise leave the factory without connectivity and managing customer-specific physical SIMs throughout production and fulfilment. It enables OEMs to ship a single device SKU globally with built-in SGP.32 bootstrap connectivity, allowing each device to connect to the relevant device-management system for connectivity testing, configuration, and digital eSIM profile provisioning - from the factory onward.
Free emnify SGP.32 bootstrap profiles are available for every connected device across an OEM's production volumes - not only for pre-production testing. Each eSIM profile includes up to 1 MB of data for factory testing, connectivity validation, device configuration changes, and operational profile download, with no recurring charge.
OEMs joining the program also receive design and engineering support from emnify's technical team, as well as access to test eUICC hardware in all form factors. This enables manufacturers to validate device integration and bootstrap connectivity before moving into production.
The program simplifies production, fulfilment, and connectivity profile management throughout the device lifecycle. By using a single SIM SKU with built-in emnify SGP.32 bootstrap connectivity, OEMs can avoid producing multiple device variants or installing customer- and region-specific physical SIMs during manufacturing.
Once powered on, the device can connect to the OEM's device-management system for testing, configuration, and digital profile provisioning. The required operational profile can then be downloaded and managed digitally through emnify's managed SGP.32 orchestration. This removes the need for OEMs to receive, track, install, and test multiple customer-specific physical SIMs, helping them streamline production and deliver connected products more efficiently.
"We created the emnify OEM program to make connectivity enablement as frictionless as possible," said Martin Giess, Co-Founder at emnify. "With emnify SGP.32 bootstrap connectivity and digital profile provisioning, OEMs can ship a single SIM SKU, avoid managing customer-specific physical SIMs, and give product buyers the flexibility to configure devices and choose the right operational connectivity for each deployment."
