From Module to Cloud: Building IoT Devices That Scale
Watch this panel from The Things Conference, featuring Sequans, Kigen, and Soracom, to learn how cellular chipsets, eSIM/iSIM technology, and cloud connectivity platforms fit together to take a connected product from first prototype to production-grade global fleet.
Speakers
Building a scalable IoT product is more involved than simply choosing the right connectivity plan. The cellular Silicon in the device, the way it securely holds its identity, and the platform you use to manage the fleet each shape how efficiently a solution can be deployed, secured, and maintained over its lifetime. If you get one layer wrong, the whole chain pays for it.
In this live panel recorded at The Things Conference 2026 in Amsterdam, representatives from across the stack sit down together. Sequans brings the low-power LTE-M and Cat 1 bis silicon, Kigen brings the SIM and eSIM/iSIM enablement, and Soracom brings the cloud-based connectivity platform, linking devices and data with AI-powered intelligence. Together, they discuss how these pieces combine to deliver secure, production-ready deployments, from silicon to service.
The conversation covers what’s possible today with SGP.32, (including downloading another operator’s profile) and where iSIM and soft SIM fit in. It also gets into how certified eSIMs, starter kits, and contract-free onboarding are shrinking development cycles from years to months.
What You’ll Learn
- How the stack fits together: the distinct roles of the cellular chipset, the SIM/eSIM layer, and the connectivity platform, and why decisions at each layer affect cost, power, security, and scalability.
- SGP.32 in practice: how the new GSMA IoT remote SIM provisioning standard lets devices download another operator’s profile, and how certified eSIMs and starter kits help teams prove the chain end to end.
- iSIM vs. SGP.32, and where soft SIM fits: the trade-offs between integrated SIMs, single-profile iSIM, soft SIM approaches, and SGP.32-based eSIM, plus how quickly iSIM can now be ordered and deployed.
- Faster paths to production: how starting without a long-term contract and using pre-certified components can compress development timelines from years to months.
- What’s next: the panel’s view on AI agents in IoT operations, eRedCap, and how letting resellers choose the operator can open new business models.
Who is the Webinar For?
This webinar is for IoT product managers, hardware and embedded engineers, solution architects, and business leaders who are designing a first connected product or scaling an existing cellular IoT fleet. It’s especially useful if you’re choosing between LTE-M and Cat 1 bis, weighing eSIM, iSIM, and SGP.32, or trying to avoid connectivity lock-in as your deployment grows across regions and operators.
Don’t miss your chance to hear chipset, SIM, and connectivity leaders discuss, on one stage, what it takes to build IoT devices that scale. Learn how Sequans, Kigen, and Soracom are working together to cut friction from module to cloud, with practical guidance you can apply to your next deployment.
