SIMCom and EBV Deepen Collaboration to Lead Full-Spectrum IoT Expansion in EMEA

Foresighting the 2030 Digital Vision, a 15-Year Partnership Enters a New Stage of Advancement

On June 10, Mr. Xiao Jianbo, General Manager of SIMCom, Mr. Steven Yuan, Deputy General Manager, and senior executives visited Munich, Germany, for in-depth talks with EBV Elektronik (hereafter “EBV”), a leading European electronics distributor. EBV President William Caruso, Vice President Technical Development Sergio Timpretti, and other executives attended the meeting. Focused on deepening bilateral cooperation, this conference elevates the 15-year partnership to new heights, jointly driving full-standard module deployment in the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) market. The collaboration covers a wide range of application scenarios spanning from 5G, AIoT to diverse wireless communication technologies.

As a premier semiconductor distributor in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), EBV has been a core partner of SIMCom since 2010, driving significant upgrades in SIMCom's localized service capabilities. With a network spanning 27 countries and 48 offices across the region, EBV provides indispensable support for SIMCom's global expansion, serving as a key ally in seizing overseas market opportunities.

The IoT market is experiencing exponential growth, with high-potential sectors including smart cities, smart homes, smart retail, and medical monitoring. SIMCom and EBV confirmed their commitment to comprehensively promoting full-standard wireless communication modules in the EMEA market, including 5G, LTE, GNSS, NB-IoT, etc., to meet the diverse connectivity needs of different industries.

Take smart cities as an example: SIMCom's wireless communication modules enable seamless connectivity among urban infrastructure, optimizing management and enhancing livability through real-time data analytics. For smart homes, the modules enable intelligent device networking, supporting remote control and automated operations. In smart retail, they facilitate intelligent inventory management, precision marketing, and supply chain efficiency. In healthcare, the modules empower remote monitoring by transmitting real-time patient data for timely diagnostics.

Beyond traditional IoT, SIMCom has identified massive growth potential in AI compute modules globally. At MWC 2025 Barcelona, SIMCom launched SIMCom AI Stack, an edge-AI full-stack solution built on SIMCom AIoT module portfolio. Offering compute power from 1 TOPS to over 40 TOPS, the solution integrates cutting-edge AI algorithms, high-efficiency hardware, diverse AI models, and practical tools. Leveraging EBV's robust European channels and resources, SIMCom aims to scale AI module adoption across the region, driving AI technology integration in various industries and accelerating intelligent industrial transformation.

“Fifteen years of collaboration have solidified a trust-based partnership between SIMCom and EBV,” said Mr. Xiao Jianbo. “As the European market's demand for full-standard wireless communication solutions evolves from 'basic connectivity' to 'intelligence-driven', we aim to leverage EBV's extensive EMEA network to translate SIMCom's ‘full-standard, full-scenario’ product edge into tangible customer value, together unlocking the EMEA smart IoT blue ocean market.”

EBV President William Caruso added: “SIMCom's R&D prowess and EBV's localized service network form a synergistic alliance. In the 5G+AIoT revolution, EBV will fully unleash its channel capabilities to position SIMCom asa leading brand for full-standard wireless solutions in EMEA, jointly setting new benchmarks for intelligent industry upgrading.”

From upstream chip R&D collaboration to downstream partnerships with distributors like EBV, SIMCom has established a comprehensive European ecosystem. Strong upstream ties ensure technological leadership, while robust downstream support drives market expansion. As Europe—the world's second-largest IoT market—shifts toward intelligence and sustainability, SIMCom's full-platform, multi-standard product portfolio meets the region's demand for diversified wireless solutions, positioning SIMCom as a key driver of Europe's IoT transformation toward an intelligent, low-carbon future.
