DREO Launches New Winter Lineup, Led by Whole-Room Heater 720S with AutoShift™ Technology and Convection Heater 711S

Published

on

LONDON, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DREO, a global smart home brand, today launched its new winter lineup, led by the flagship DREO Whole-Room Heater 720S with AutoShift™ Technology for adaptive whole-room warmth. The lineup also includes the DREO Convection Heater 711S for stable, quiet warmth in limited spaces and the DREO Air Purifier 530S for powerful, effortless air comfort, offering more flexible home solutions this winter.

DREO Whole-Room Heater 720S with AutoShift™ Technology Delivers Adaptive Whole-Room Warmth

As temperatures drop in winter, people often need different types of warmth at different times: quick, concentrated heat when they want to warm up, and broader heat distribution when they want to warm an entire room. However, conventional heaters often require users to choose between these two heating experiences.

DREO Whole-Room Heater 720S balances this with AutoShift™ 360° Technology, letting the heater switch between Personal Comfort and 360° Whole-Room Comfort. Its AutoShift™ Adaptive Airflow System uses a Cone-shaped Air Guide, Lifting Structure, and Stepper Motor to change airflow direction. In Focus Mode, the structure lowers to direct warm air toward a concentrated area, delivering airflow speeds of up to 4.1 m/s for immediate warmth. When the structure rises, the heater switches to 360° Whole-Room Mode, distributing warm air more evenly across spaces of 15–25 m².

Powered by a 2000W Hyperamics™ PTC Ceramic Heating Element, DREO Whole-Room Heater 720S delivers quick warmth in either mode. Its HyperSilent™ Airflow System keeps noise as low as 25 dB in both modes so that users can stay comfortable without excess noise. Complementing the quiet heating, the Extended Temperature-Responsive RGB Ambient Light changes colour with the temperature, providing an intuitive visual indication of heating conditions while adding a warm, ambient touch to the space.

Additionally, Shield 360° 8-Layer Safety Protection provides eight layers of protection, including overheat protection, 45° tip-over auto shutoff, cool-touch insulated housing, V-0 flame-retardant materials, an enhanced safety plug, child lock, and CE Listed Certification. ECO Mode saves up to 40% energy, helping users reduce consumption while maintaining comfortable warmth.

DREO Whole-Room Heater 720S uses AutoShift™ Technology to adapt to different heating needs at home, from delivering focused warmth when working, relaxing, or winding down before bed to warming the entire room when family and friends gather. As one of the market’s first adaptive 360° heaters, DREO Whole-Room Heater 720S gives users one versatile solution for whole-room and focused heating, combining fast warmth, quiet operation, energy efficiency, smart control, and layered safety to meet different heating needs throughout winter.

DREO Convection Heater 711S Brings Stable, Quiet Warmth to Limited Spaces

Unlike the DREO Whole-Room Heater 720S, which actively controls airflow direction, the DREO Convection Heater 711S provides stable, quieter warmth for limited spaces through natural convection. At the core of the DREO Convection Heater 711S is its 2000W X-Core Advanced Heating Element, made with aerospace-grade aluminium and designed with an X-shaped structure to expand the heating surface. Cool air enters through the bottom of the heater, passes over the X-Core Advanced Heating Element, and rises through the top grille, creating a steady flow of warm air without a fan. This improves heat transfer and temperature control, delivering more even warmth throughout the room.

DREO Convection Heater 711S brings HyperSilent™ Heating to everyday use, with fanless operation for quiet, uninterrupted comfort for sleeping, working, or relaxing. Its ultra-slim, wall-mount design further saves floor space. At the same time, Shield 360° 8-Layer Safety Protection adds multiple layers of protection. Notably, its tempered-glass front panel combines a sleek, modern design with added durability and safety. It also includes an enhanced Safety Plug, triple overheat protection, child lock, and thermally insulated wiring that work together to support safer everyday use around families and pets.

DREO Convection Heater 711S features ECO Mode, which automatically adjusts heating output depending on ambient temperature to save up to 40% energy, along with customisable RGBIC ambient lighting. Together, these features make the DREO Convection Heater 711S a strong choice for those who want quiet, even warmth without the airflow of a fan heater.

DREO Air Purifier 530S Brings Powerful, Effortless Air Comfort to the Winter Lineup

As people spend more time indoors during the colder months, maintaining a comfortable home means more than simply keeping the room warm. The DREO Air Purifier 530S brings powerful, effortless air care to the winter lineup, focusing on cleaner, fresher indoor air. It combines TurboPure™ Technology, AHAM-Certified 3-Stage Filtration, and intelligent air quality sensing to help keep indoor air clean and fresh. At the core of the DREO Air Purifier 530S is TurboPure™ Technology, featuring a Brushless DC Motor, Innovative Airflow Booster, and 360° Spiral Air Intake System for powerful air purification. Its AHAM-Certified 3-Stage Filtration combines a FiberCatch Pre-Filter to capture hair, lint, and large dust; the main filter that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3μm under sleep mode, including PM2.5, pollen, fine dust, and smoke; and 4x Activated Carbon to help remove food smells, pet and household odors.

DREO Air Purifier 530S is designed to purify more and adjust less. A PM2.5 sensor monitors air quality in real time, while the large RGB light provides an intuitive view of changing air conditions. In Auto Mode, the purifier automatically adjusts its fan speed based on current air quality to help keep the air cleaner and fresher.

DREO Air Purifier 530S also adds personality to the home while making everyday air comfort effortless through the DREO app. With Smart RGBIC Lighting, users can personalise their space with 8 customizable dynamic and static lighting effects. They can also choose from 6 preset scenes for different moods and occasions, or use AI Mode to generate unique lighting effects based on their mood or preferences. The app also lets users set schedules, track filter life, get filter-replacement alerts, and access 30-day air quality reports in one connected experience.

Alongside DREO’s heating products, the DREO Air Purifier 530S extends the brand’s approach to winter comfort beyond warmth, delivering fresher air and a cozier indoor environment to everyday life.

Kigen Automotive eSIM first to achieve GSMA eSA certification, bringing latest SGP.32 security to connected vehicle OEMs for long-life fleets

Published

With the industry’s first eSA-certified eSIMs supporting the latest SGP.32 v1.3, Kigen delivers automotive-grade security, giving OEMs a common architecture for developing connected fleets – plus an implementation and tools to prepare for PQC readiness

CAMBRIDGE, England, Sept. 23, 2026 /CNW/ — Kigen, a global leader in eSIM and iSIM technology, has achieved GSMA eUICC Security Assurance (eSA) certification for its new Automotive eSIMs, the industry’s first eSA-certified eSIM supporting SGP.32 v1.3, GSMA’s latest IoT eSIM (eUICC) specification. The certification combines Kigen’s eSIM OS with Infineon’s TEGRION™ SLI22 automotive security controller, giving connected-vehicle OEMs and Tier-1s a secure, standards-current platform built for fleets that must stay secure for a decade-plus.

As cars and two-wheeled vehicles rapidly transition to highly intelligent, regulated, and software-defined mobility assets, the new Kigen Automotive eSIM is certified across the TEGRION™ SLx22 chip family, creating a three-product portfolio spanning Automotive (SLI22), Consumer (SLC22, supporting latest SGP.22 v2.7), and Industrial IoT (SLM22, supporting SGP.32 v1.3). All three share the same OS and hardware platform, development tools, and management stack, helping automotive manufacturers use the same security platform across infotainment, telematics, and headless vehicle systems. This reduces fragmentation, speeds development, and makes it easier for the same OEM to expand across multiple connected cars, passenger transport, and industrial vehicle fleets.

Kigen’s implementation supports SGP.32 v1.3 enhancements, published in May 2026, including direct and indirect profile downloads, digital activation codes, and emergency profile handling relevant to connected vehicles. Early visibility into the latest enhancements to eSIM standards reduces the risk of architectural obsolescence for OEMs and operators, allowing architectures qualified today to remain relevant over long program timelines.

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is increasingly important for connected vehicles, where long service lives make hardware replacement impractical. Although PQC is not yet part of the GSMA specifications, Kigen can support OEMs having implemented hybrid key encapsulation that combines classical and quantum-safe algorithms on the same platform. OEMs can test end-to-end PQC-resistant communications using Kigen’s C-SDK development suite and test eSIM samples to prepare for long-term security against emerging quantum threats.

The certification builds on Kigen’s established eSA-certified IoT eSIMs and Consumer eSIMs that introduced eSIM OS secure updates for compliance to EU Cybersecurity Resilience Act (EU CRA), certified six months prior.

“Vehicles are becoming long-lived software platforms, so their connectivity trust anchor must remain secure and manageable long after production,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO, Kigen. “Kigen’s new eSA-certified Automotive eSIMs give car manufacturers a secure path from factory provisioning to global fleet operation while preserving freedom to evolve connectivity throughout the vehicle lifetime. Given the market maturity of our eIM, the time to achieve this certification demonstrates the deep collaboration of Kigen’s product, engineering, certification, and operations teams with technology and ecosystem partners.”

“Kigen has played a key role in shaping the evolution of eSIM for IoT, including through Dr Saïd Gharout’s leadership of the GSMA eSIM Technical Working Group,” said Gloria Trujillo, eSIM Technical Director, GSMA. “This latest achievement, with the industry’s first eSA-certified eSIMs supporting SGP.32 v1.3, is an important step in translating GSMA eSIM IoT specifications into secure, interoperable technology for the next generation of connected IoT and vehicle fleets.”

“Congratulations to Kigen on the industry’s first GSMA eSA certification to the latest SGP.32 enhanced specifications for automotive eSIMs,” said Katherine Diao, Head of IoT and Automotive Industry, China Mobile International. “China Mobile International is pleased to partner with Kigen to introduce SGP.32-based security solutions to Chinese automakers, supporting global deployment, CRA-aligned processes, and reliable connectivity for vehicles designed for long service life.”

Kigen’s full eSIM stack assurance spans GSMA SAS-UP (manufacturing) and SAS-SM (subscription management) certification, plus hosted Kigen eIM remote management. Kigen Automotive eSIMs interoperate with 20+ network providers that are ready for digital activation, with 60+ “Secure with Kigen” IoT modules, and are supported by global connectivity partnerships, including China Mobile International, helping OEMs simplify deployment across international vehicle markets. Kigen will join GSMA interoperability testing in October with its certified IoT eSIMs and eIM solution.

Kigen Automotive eSIMs will be available for OEM sampling in the ETSI MFF2 package from October 2026. Request samples and the Kigen IoT eSIM Starter Kit at https://kigen.com/contact/
