Gemalto and ZTE jointly present remote subscription management on consumer devices
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Mobile World Congress Shanghai, July 15, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653
GTO), the world leader in digital security, teamed up with ZTE Corporation, a
leading Chinese handset maker, to showcase Gemalto's LinqUs On-Demand
Connectivity (ODC) subscription management solution on ZTE smartphones, at
Mobile World Congress Shanghai. Based on interoperable standards, this proof-of-
concept demonstrates how a consumer device with embedded SIM can securely
connect to a mobile network, anytime and anywhere, using Over-The-Air remote
provisioning.
Gemalto is actively working with mobile operators, device manufacturers and SIM
vendors worldwide to promote open standards that can reduce complexities of
connected consumer device deployments. With this solution, users can now
seamlessly activate connectivity on their devices by choosing any operator and
adapted tariff plan based on their preferences and location. They can have the
flexibility to dynamically add a wide variety of connected devices on-the-go, or
switch to local operators for lower rates when traveling.
"In China, faster 4G networks and ever-increasing number of mobile devices are
driving consumers to demand instant connectivity, even from the remote parts of
the country," said Dr. Ji Zhongwei, CTO of ZTE Mobile Devices and Vice President
of ZTE Corporation. "Gemalto's ODC solution can dramatically simplify our supply
chain. With a generic variant that works for all, we can enable more users to
stay connected, from their first usage through the entire device lifecycle."
"The number of connected devices in China is expected to surpass the country's
population very soon[1]," said Suzanne Tong-Li, President for Greater China and
Korea at Gemalto. "This demonstration with ZTE allows us to not only display the
capabilities of ODC, but also gather vital information about different use cases
their customers want, to drive the development of IoT ecosystem."
