NTT Docomo selects Gemalto for IoT applications in Japan
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, July 2, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces that NTT Docomo, the largest mobile operator in
Japan with about 65 million subscribers, has selected Gemalto to enable
connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Gemalto's Cinterion®
Machine Identification Module (MIM) complies with the most stringent industry
standards(1) and was first to meet the high quality requirements of the Japanese
market.
Japan IoT and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication market is estimated to grow
from $11.34 billion in 2014 to $41.61 billion by 2019[1] due to increasing
demand for smart infrastructure and fully managed network appliances. The IoT
applications will enable Japanese businesses to collect real-time information on
mission-critical systems, better manage their networks and logistics and
remotely perform intelligent operations, for increased efficiency and
reliability.
Gemalto offers the highest quality of ruggedized MIM[2] that can sustain extreme
environments of humidity, corrosion, vibration, and temperatures from -45 to
105 degrees Celsius. It also leverages Gemalto's unique operating system to
offer optimized memory management, data retention and one million erase/write
cycles, which extend the lifespan of the device and prevent service disruptions.
"We have a long standing relationship with NTT Docomo, which includes Japan's
first (LTE) wireless connectivity in 2010, and more recently, the NFC
deployment," said Michael Au, President South Asia and Japan at Gemalto. "With
our advanced MIMs now, NTT Docomo will be able to leverage their LTE networks to
further expand their portfolio to other M2M applications in industrial and
automotive sectors."
