Future-proof eSIM car connectivity solutions for connected vehicles
The automotive industry is undergoing a digital transformation, driven by the need for always-on connectivity, global coverage, and flexible over-the-air (OTA) lifecycle management. Whether enabling telematics services, eCall, software updates, or in-vehicle infotainment – automotive eSIM technologies are now the foundation for secure, scalable mobile connectivity in vehicles.
G+D's AirOn360® eSIM provisioning platform empowers automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to simplify global connectivity operations across all vehicle models and geographies. With full support for SGP.32 (IoT), SGP.42 (IFPP pre-standard), and SGP.02 (M2M) standards, AirOn360® enables centralized and future-ready remote SIM provisioning (RSP) and eSIM lifecycle management – across mixed fleets and diverse markets.

Security is always a top priority for G+D, making us one of the first companies to receive certification for cybersecurity in road vehicles.
Automotive connectivity challenges
Connected vehicles require resilient, secure, and flexible mobile connectivity. However, OEMs and Tier 1s face several roadblocks:
- Global connectivity complexity: Managing mobile network operator (MNO) agreements and SIM logistics across multiple markets is inefficient and error-prone.
- Rigid production processes: Traditional SIM logistics complicate manufacturing and increase time-to-market.
- Lack of lifecycle flexibility: Vehicles have long lifecycles, but legacy provisioning models lack over-the-air (OTA) flexibility to support changing use cases or regulations.
- Fragmented RSP standards: Managing fleets with both SGP.02 (legacy) and SGP.32 (next-gen) technologies increases operational overhead.
G+D addresses these challenges with a unified, automotive-grade eSIM management platform tailored for long product lifecycles and global scalability.
Use Cases in Automotive
- Telematics & eCall: Ensure instant and reliable vehicle data and emergency connectivity
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates: Enable secure software and firmware updates
- Infotainment & navigation: Power always-on digital services for drivers and passengers
- Vehicle tracking & anti-theft: Maintain reliable tracking in any geography
- Fleet management: Simplify profile management for passenger, commercial, and mixed fleets
