The one-stop shop for successful IoT connectivity
Massive IoT offers a multitude of opportunities to shape our future. Disruptive technologies will empower billions of devices in Industry 4.0, smart cities, transport and logistics, and agriculture, and accelerate numerous transformational changes across business and society. Creating confidence in innovative connectivity solutions is key for a greener, more efficient IoT. Securing that confidence is what we do at G+D.
Reliable cellular network coverage is the cornerstone of any successful IoT deployment. It is location-independent, flexible, and agile, and covers wider areas than other communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. 5G’s unprecedented speeds and data rates are pushing the IoT into a new era.
However, the current Massive IoT ecosystem has limited customizability due to disconnected services and lack of regulation. Ensuring cross-platform integration is a challenge when working with different original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including makers of chipsets, modules, and devices.
Furthermore, IoT devices are often vulnerable to hacking and other cyberattacks. Given the high level of data and the network security risks posed by the exponential increase in connected devices, companies operating in the IoT are faced with a dilemma.
Trends and new opportunities in the age of Massive IoT
Enterprises are seeking a long-term partnership with a connectivity service provider who understands the specific requirements of IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) networks, while prioritizing security. With our background in connectivity and expertise in providing IoT solutions, G+D is uniquely positioned to ensure global access and the efficient life cycle management of IoT applications. We have been shaping the global SIM success story ever since we supplied the world’s first commercial SIM card, more than 30 years ago. Our technology enables devices to securely connect to mobile networks worldwide, ensuring data integrity without compromising on service delivery. Let us help you unlock your business potential through IoT innovation with built-in security tech.
We empower you to overcome three key IoT challenges: connectivity, secure transmission, and analyzing data. G+D addresses these demands with our mobile network, secure SIM technology, and connectivity management platform. As a global leader in security technology, with almost 200 years of experience in providing innovative security solutions, we connect the IoT and secure your data, network, and devices.
Enterprise network operators: seamless and reliable connectivity for the enterprise IoT
With the number of connected devices expected to reach 34 billion by 2028, according to the GSMA, the demand for a provider specializing in Massive IoT connectivity has never been higher. This has led to the emergence of a new breed of connectivity service provider: the enterprise network operator (ENO). Combining the best elements of MNOs and MVNOs, ENOs manage their own core network and SIMs, both of which have been designed for quick and high-volume IoT connectivity, making them an ideal option for enterprises joining the Massive IoT.
Our comprehensive portfolio of managed IoT services
Our global roaming agreements provide reliable access to 600+ networks in 185 countries and counting, while dealing with just a single provider. We can even back this up with satellite IoT connectivity as a failsafe. Whichever type of connectivity you’re looking for worldwide, you’ll find it with us.

- Trusted IoT technology to match your use case: G+D's market-leading SIM technology offers you exactly the connectivity you are looking for, from pluggable SIM to eSIM and iSIM for public/private networks, ensuring easy, secure life cycle management of IoT applications
- With you as you grow: IoT data plans that let you enjoy savings as your business grows from 100 to 100,000 connected devices
eSIM solutions for a smarter IoT
Having pioneered the first commercially available eSIM in 2012, G+D has mastered the technology and its applications. Secure eSIM management is key as the IoT grows and device fleets are globally deployed. By replacing the physical SIM slot with an embedded SIM, devices can be designed to be smaller and more durable against adverse environments. This enhances sustainability and cost-efficiency through reduced plastic usage and a streamlined logistics cycle. There is no need to stock multiple physical SIM cards, or even handle them.
Most importantly, eSIMs are truly network-agnostic – you can change providers multiple times in a device’s life cycle. This flexibility empowers users to decide on a provider based on the best real-time information, considering factors such as device location, network coverage, quality, pricing, and required bandwidth. New M(V)NO profiles can be provisioned remotely over-the-air, securely and efficiently, through G+D’s award-winning AirOn360® platform.
Our connectivity expertise and market-leading SIM technology portfolio have led to the development of the most fully featured eSIM solution on the market. Provided as a single managed service, it is the key to truly global connectivity, ideal for all global remote or roaming enterprise IoT applications, usable across a wide range of sectors such as automotive, transport and logistics, energy and utilities, and manufacturing.
