Two weeks ago, I had the chance to join Onomondo‘s Made for IoT Summit in Copenhagen.
I’ve had Onomondo on my radar for quite a while, at the latest since the launch of their SoftSIM and all the buzz around SGP.32. Back when I was at grandcentrix, I already appreciated their relevant articles and broader contributions to the Cellular IoT ecosystem. Even though I never had the opportunity to actually use the product back then, I was always convinced that their no-fluff attitude must carry over into other areas of their business as well.
Before the summit itself, Onomondo hosted a Partner Day focused entirely on exchange and learning. The sessions were hands-on: deep dives into the platform, SoftSIM, and Connectors, directly with the teams behind them.
The summit that followed was fast-paced and inspiring, a mix of keynotes, roundtables, and networking, all aimed at tearing down barriers in IoT product development and pushing the ecosystem forward.
I had the pleasure of joining Henrik Aagaard and Sam Brown on a panel about SGP.32, representing the perspective of implementers and OEMs. I also moderated two breakout sessions on Low-Power Strategies in Cellular IoT.
Some of my highlights and takeaways:
– John Gole’s keynote on the biggest barriers to IoT deployments. A lot of those pain points can be tackled through a strong, well-connected ecosystem.
– The Circle Gas presentation by Morton Viktor and Alexis Josephides. Their IoT-enabled LPG meters are powering clean, affordable cooking for over 400,000 people in Kenya and Tanzania, all built on micropayments. The coolest IoT use case I’ve come across so far.
– SGP.32 is right around the corner, but very few have actually gotten to try it yet. If you’re curious or working on it, let’s talk.
– Cellular low-power best practices are still surprisingly niche. One big reason: the fragmentation of the global cellular landscape. In global rollouts, it’s hard to rely on the availability of any one Radio Access Technology or power-saving feature. The fallback strategy? Support as many RATs as possible and switch the modems on/off as needed.

All the more reason I’m excited to share that sevenlab engineering GmbH and Onomondo recently became partners.

Big thanks to Emelie Malmquist, Luisa Schmidt, Wanig Le Pennec, and Mareike Bonitz for the warm welcome, and to the whole Onomondo crew. I was genuinely impressed by the energy and passion of every Onomondian I met!
