Gemalto's MIM and Subscription Management solution provide
rapid mobile product deployment, worldwide, with a single design
Efficient manufacturing, streamlined supply chain and easy global product
marketing
Amsterdam, October 29, 2014 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, has been selected by Limmex, a Swiss provider of
personal safety solutions, to enable M2M connectivity for a revolutionary
emergency watch in a pilot project with leading mobile operator Swisscom. The
Limmex watch supports people with particular care or security needs such as
children, VIPs, lonely workers, the elderly or individuals with health problems
by triggering an emergency call to friends or family at the push of a button.
Gemalto will provide its Cinterion MIM (Machine Identification Module) and
LinqUs On-Demand Provisioning Service, which removes the need for manufacturers
to create numerous device variants and profiles. This simplifies the
manufacturing process as it enables the cellular connection of devices in a
specific country after they have been deployed to consumers. In that way, it
enables Limmex to deploy a single product design across multiple markets quickly
and easily.
Limmex products look like traditional Swiss watches with the ability to trigger
an emergency call by pressing the watch face. It features a built-in microphone
and loudspeaker to enable communication with the defined emergency contact.
"We work with multiple operators, producing different product variants for each
country and region we serve," said Dr. Martin Reber, CEO for Limmex. "With
Gemalto's solution, we can enjoy more efficient manufacturing, a streamlined
supply chain, and the freedom to quickly and easily market our product
worldwide."
"Swisscom M2M is committed to assuring that customers such as Limmex have access
to the products and support they need to grow their business," stated Jaap
Vossen, Acting Head of M2M at Swisscom. "Through our M2M product portfolio and
by working with partners such as Gemalto, we are able to deliver all of the
tools necessary for our customers' success, whether regionally or globally
concentrated."
"The compact form factor of the Gemalto MIM is ideal for space-constrained M2M
applications and the consumer electronics sector," said Benoit Jouffrey, Vice
President On-Demand Connectivity for Gemalto. "Our flexible subscription
management solution can be tailored to meet any customer's specific deployment
needs, and is particularly well suited to the truly global, highly mobile Limmex
product."
