Kigen Continues to Blaze a New Trail Towards Crucial Security for Cellular IoT Scale

With a vibrant customer base, world-leading security expertise and a new structure, Kigen can enable any business to reap the benefits of a secure IoT deployment

With more than 2 billion SIMs enabled to date, Kigen offers advanced eSIM and iSIM technology to simplify how connected devices and their data flows are secured

Alif Semiconductor, KORE, Qualcomm and Sequans Communications have adopted Kigen’s eSIM and iSIM solutions

Kigen, a security leader for cellular IoT, has enabled 2 billion SIMs in IoT devices and has new state-of-the-art eSIM and integrated SIM (iSIM) deployments with leading chipset providers, module vendors and network operators. As an independent but wholly-owned subsidiary of Arm, Kigen will focus on addressing device-maker demand for greater choice in affordable security for trusted IoT devices.

Kigen, after incubating within Arm, has a well-established ecosystem with mature partners and has now added several new customers, including Alif Semiconductor, KORE, Qualcomm Technologies and Sequans Communications.

“If we are to accelerate global IoT innovation, security and trust for connected devices can never be an afterthought,” said Vincent Korstanje, Chief Executive Officer, Kigen. ”By making iSIM the future foundation for trust in the IoT, Kigen, together with our partners, are offering all device-makers greater freedom in how they manufacture secure devices and deliver the services that matter most to their customers.”

According to GSMA Intelligence, 65% of enterprises have deployed IoT solutions as part of a broad digital transformation strategy. Doing this requires companies to treat IoT deployments as core to their business. That often means extending the lifespan of deployed devices such as smart meters. By using Kigen technology to virtualize SIMs on-chip, companies can create efficiencies and performance gains in how their IoT devices are produced, auto-provisioned and managed in the real-world.

These gains will reduce the time it takes to deliver new IoT products, allowing companies to deploy advanced IoT solutions faster and more reliably. As well as reducing deployment complexity, Kigen’s standards-based eSIM and iSIM technology enables greater interoperability based on a secure foundation.

Kigen’s iSIM solution, which makes the SIM an integral part of the processor in chip fabrication, is kinder to the planet too; offering 70% lower power consumption than a traditional physical SIM. This opens up new ways to deliver power-efficient data processing for 5G and global LPWAN networks, and more room to add advanced compute such as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
