Sprint extends relationship with Gemalto to manage growing LTE deployments across the U.S.
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CTIA Las Vegas, September 8, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the
world leader in digital security, broadens its longstanding relationship with
Sprint through a multi-year contract to manage growing LTE deployments across
the U.S. With 57.7 million subscribers, Sprint will use Gemalto's Allynis
Advanced Over-the-Air (AOTA) Solution as a Service (SaaS) Platform to facilitate
LTE service activations and to manage the complexities of providing multi band
4G LTE connectivity. The Gemalto solution helps Sprint easily deliver customers
the most up-to-date mobile technologies, services and innovations right to their
fingertips.
Mobile networks have been evolving to 4G for several years, especially in the
U.S., which represents more than 50 percent of the world's LTE connections.
Sprint's 4G LTE and Sprint Spark next generation LTE network, provides
ubiquitous service and wireless IP connectivity that is serving as a gateway for
more connected devices and the growing Internet-of-Things (IoT). The simplicity
of Gemalto's AOTA hosted solution reduces the need for expensive installations.
Sprint has a flexible solution to meet the increasing high-speed connectivity
demands of IoT applications.
Leveraging Gemalto's Allynis AOTA SaaS Platform, Sprint has swift service
provisioning for new devices and seamless technical updates and software
improvements. It is especially beneficial when Sprint needs to manage the
handover between 3G and 4G networks for optimized wireless service. The ease-of-
use enables Sprint to maintain focus on delivering trusted digital services to
their subscribers.
"Our over-the-air technology currently enables 240 operators worldwide and with
increased demands for connectivity, Sprint and many others are opting to migrate
to our more advanced and robust Advanced OTA platform," said Sebastien Cano,
President of North America at Gemalto. "Gemalto's highly developed roadmap for
delivering AOTA services worldwide is ideal for any operator interested in
evolving to next generation networks or expanding 4G LTE services."
