Gemalto demonstrates remote provisioning of consumer devices based on GSMA architecture
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Mobile World Congress Shanghai, July 16, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653
GTO), the world leader in digital security, presents a demonstration that brings
to life for the first time a common architecture for the remote provisioning of
consumer devices as defined by the GSMA[1], operators and device manufacturers.
In a recent survey, E&Y projected that more than 7 billion devices[1] will be
connected by 2020, with smartphones, PCs and tablets still expected to be the
largest contributors[2]. This substantial growth in connected objects brings
concerns about standardization and security. The Gemalto demonstration showcases
how a primary device, like a smartphone, can be used to conveniently activate or
deactivate connectivity on a secondary device, like a smartwatch or tablet,
using mobile broadband or WiFi. This will give end users the flexibility to
easily add new devices such as tablets and smartwatches to existing wireless
service contracts. By adhering to profile interoperability, telecom operators
and consumer electronics companies can benefit from easy deployment and a faster
time to market.
"Gemalto has been at the forefront of defining and embracing standards-based
technologies for several years," said Benoit Jouffrey, Vice President On-Demand
Connectivity for Gemalto. "Our On-Demand Connectivity platform provides a
solution for operators, device manufacturers and service providers alike, to
provide secure and instant connectivity to the end consumers for their growing
array of smart devices. Showcasing the GSMA consumer market architecture and the
profile interoperability gives us the opportunity to put forth a stepping stone
for the IoT industry at large to embrace standardized technologies for quicker
adoption."
