  • eSIM Orchestration: The Next Wave of IoT
    Aug 6 2025

    The next wave of IoT connectivity is here. Enter eSIM orchestration.


    In this episode, Eseye Executive Chairman Nick Earle is joined for a third time by Matt Hatton, Founding Partner and Analyst of Transforma Insights, to explore the market forces driving this shift.


    The rise of eSIM technology specifications like SGP.32 offers more flexibility, but it also brings greater fragmentation. Enterprises now face a tangled web of regulations, latency constraints, and diverging network standards across the globe.


    That's where eSIM orchestration comes in. Matt explains why a new orchestration layer is emerging—not just to simplify profile management, but to unify billing, compliance, and connectivity in a single managed service. Without it, global IoT remains a patchwork of complexity and compromise.


    In this episode, you'll learn:


    - What's driving the shift from roaming to eSIM orchestration

    - Why eSIM orchestration fills the gap between flexibility and reality

    - What it takes to deliver true global IoT at scale


    Whether you're in telecoms, product development, or enterprise IoT strategy, this episode offers a clear view into what's changing, why it matters, and how orchestration might be the missing piece.

  • Connecting Everything, Inside Volvo's Massive IoT Strategy
    Jul 9 2025

    Most industrial IoT deployments struggle with the same challenge: dozens of pilot projects that never reach production scale.


    Volvo Group broke this cycle with a strategic transformation connecting hundreds of millions of assets across 140 factories worldwide. The secret wasn't just technology — it was organizational change that unified scattered efforts into production-scale success.


    Volvo Group IoT Expert Julien Bertolini joins the podcast to share insights from one of the world's largest industrial IoT deployments, including:

    • How to escape pilot purgatory and scale from prototypes to production
    • Why multi-technology approaches are essential for industrial environments
    • Building IoT communities and citizen development strategies
    • Real-world use cases from AGV predictive maintenance to massive asset tracking
    • Why quality IoT data is the foundation that makes AI actually work
    • The convergence of IoT and AI for competitive advantage


    Tune in to hear how strategic IoT transformation unlocks AI potential at an industrial scale.

  • Why Global IoT Is Outgrowing Roaming—and Fast
    Jun 4 2025

    The IoT industry is at a turning point.


    Fragmentation has exposed deep cracks in connectivity models, while 5G promises speeds that legacy frameworks simply can't handle. However, a solution may lie in rethinking how IoT connections work.


    In this episode, Lee Walkey, a seasoned IoT expert, joins Nick Earle to explore the roadblocks and realities of building scalable IoT networks. They discuss:

    • Why traditional roaming can't support global IoT deployments
    • How commercial incentives and outdated models hold back progress
    • The need for a federated approach to achieve out-of-the-box IoT connectivity


    Nick and Lee reveal how an airline-style federation of operators, combined with SaaS-based platforms, offers a way forward. They also explore how this shift could change the IoT sector as 5G expands.


    Tune in to learn why it's time to move beyond roaming, rethink connectivity, and build the future of IoT.
