G+D moves eSIM provisioning into AWS cloud for global IoT and consumer devices

Security firm Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) is shifting its eSIM provisioning workloads onto Amazon Web Services, turning what used to be a dedicated telecom function into a cloud service. The new setup uses AWS’s global infrastructure while keeping GSMA compliance and security controls from G+D, aiming to give operators and enterprises faster onboarding, elastic scaling during peak demand, and low‑latency profile management across regions.

The move targets both consumer and IoT markets, where eSIM‑only devices are becoming standard and new GSMA specifications SGP.32 (IoT) and SGP.22 (consumer) require tight end‑to‑end security. AT&T, a long‑time G+D customer, says distributing services across multiple GSMA‑certified cloud locations opens up new global opportunities and faster time to market, helped by direct access to G+D technology via the AWS Marketplace. G+D’s SGP.32 eSIM is already in use in Amazon’s eero Signal device, and the expanded AWS collaboration positions eSIM as a cloud‑native connectivity component rather than a fixed piece of telecom infrastructure.
