Gemalto cloud service enables mobile subscribers in Indonesia to securely backup personal data
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, June 18, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, has been selected by Elasitas to provide mobile subscribers
in Indonesia with LinqUs Smart Backup, offered in SaaS mode by Gemalto Allynis
services. Elasitas is a local mobile technology firm that serves all leading
operators in the country with a total subscriber base of 270 million(1). This
deal will enable a potential of 40 million Indonesian subscribers(2) to securely
back up, synchronize, and restore personal data stored on their handsets. The
solution, branded "BackApp" by Elasitas, is completely handset-agnostic,
allowing end-users to transfer data across different devices and platforms.
The secure application provides an easy way to store and protect the personal
data such as phonebook, photos, videos and music in one single location. Users
can download the app from app stores to backup and restore their data to any
mobile anytime they lose, damage, or replace their handsets. Depending on
storage needs, an end-user can select a plan from the multiple offerings that
suits them best.
"Mobiles contain a treasure trove of personal experiences. From messages from
friends to favorite music and videos, we form an emotional bond with our
mobiles," said Arthur Surya, CEO, Elasitas. "Gemalto's solution is a secured and
easy-to-use solution that extends our customers' back up services from just
contacts to multimedia content. It is scalable and reliable, and allows our
operator customers to expand their footprint to the broadest base of
subscribers."
"A Gemalto survey finds that 80 percent of mobile subscribers would use cloud-
based data backup services if offered by their operators(3)," said Michael Au,
President South Asia and Japan at Gemalto. "In emerging markets like Indonesia
where smartphone penetration is exploding, small businesses in particular rely
on the integrity of their phonebook contacts, and we offer them a simple way to
protect their corporate data. With more than 100 backup solutions deployments,
Gemalto protects personal data of hundreds of millions of end-users around the
world."
