By adopting Kigen\u2019s safe eSIM OS and eIM resolution, Evergy is unifying non-public LTE and public networks into an automatic connectivity layer \u2014 making a basis for extra dependable operations within the face of extreme climate, rising vitality demand, and the complexity of distributed vitality sources (DERs).<\/p>\n<p> <span id=\"more-153944\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Reliability is central to Evergy\u2019s technique, alongside affordability and sustainability. As utilities combine distributed vitality sources, superior metering infrastructure (AMI), and dynamic billing, guaranteeing uninterrupted connectivity turns into vital. Extreme thunderstorms, storm-related outages and routine community upgrades can all disrupt real-time telemetry that varieties the \u201cheartbeat\u201d of a contemporary grid. With out automation, managing tens of 1000&#8217;s of IoT units at scale would create unacceptable dangers to each service continuity and value effectivity.<\/p>\n<p>Evergy\u2019s LTE community already spans 100 websites, supporting 1000&#8217;s of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iot-now.com\/2024\/07\/26\/145652-unlock-the-power-of-iot-sensors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IoT sensors<\/a>, AMI, and operational know-how units. With growth anticipated to achieve tens of 1000&#8217;s of units, failover between non-public and public networks should be seamless. Guide approaches can not hold tempo at this scale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we modernise our grids, uninterrupted machine knowledge means visibility and preparation in opposition to outages from each the fast-changing vitality transition and unpredictable extreme climate. Taking management of our infrastructure requires community availability and automation is the muse on which dynamic billing and AI can construct. Kigen eSIMs and the eIM, configured to Evergy\u2019s wants, allow us to set a brand new benchmark in grid resiliency\u2014what has lengthy been the holy grail of resilient, clever grids,\u201d mentioned\u00a0Invoice Franzen, Evergy\u2019s lead radio engineer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kigen\u2019s safe eSIM OS and\u00a0SGP.32-compliant eIM resolution\u00a0give Evergy the pliability to handle connectivity dynamically by means of eSIMs provisioned with a number of operator profiles. Kigen eSIM OS for IoT and client units consists of configurable options reminiscent of its\u00a0community rescue and restoration applet, which permits dynamic, automated failover between non-public LTE and most popular public networks based mostly on enterprise guidelines. These operations are centrally managed by means of\u00a0Kigen Pulse, permitting management at fleet scale\u2014by geography, asset kind or web site\u2014guaranteeing continuity of operations, decreasing lifecycle prices, and supporting broader objectives of capital effectivity, security and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Cybersecurity is paramount in vital infrastructure, Evergy\u2019s deployment depends on the Kigen eIM hosted at\u00a0its Dublin web site, which is absolutely licensed below the\u00a0GSMA Safety Accreditation Scheme for Subscription Administration (SAS-SM). This web site operates the Kigen eIM resolution to the newest\u00a0GSMA SGP.32 IoT eSIM specification, offering each assurance of compliance and trusted basis required for safe, grid-ready operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConstructing in dynamic automation for scaled failover and restoration, we allow Evergy\u2019s imaginative and prescient to design for improved reliability, resilience and operational intelligence. As utilities navigate the vitality transition, uninterrupted connectivity is the muse for AI, dynamic billing and DER integration.
