Gemalto fast-tracks LTE adoption for IoT in Japan
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, July 11, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces its Cinterion® LTE Cat.1 specific M2M module has
completed the interoperability testing by NTT DOCOMO, INC., Japan's largest
mobile network operator(1). The ELS31J and ELS51J wireless modules are
engineered for IoT applications and helps to drive innovation to IoT device
makers. Gemalto Cinterion® provides the vital communication links between a wide
range of IoT devices, such as consumer wearables, smart meters, and remote
sensors to the enterprise back-end enabling new services and new business
models. The module's ruggedized and future-proof design further offers
manufacturers a highly efficient and cost-effective LTE connectivity, as well as
easy migration from existing to future telecommunication standards.
One of the most advanced nations in the world, Japan is constantly at the
forefront of technological innovation, including IoT with key Japanese
companies(2) investing heavily in this sector. Last year, an estimated 624
million(3) IoT devices were deployed across the country, contributing to US$103
billion(4 )in market revenue. By 2020, these figures have been forecast to reach
over 1 billion units and 176 billion, respectively. The transformative impact of
IoT is evident in all industries, from connected cars to smart factories.
"We continue to collaborate with Gemalto, a trusted and long-time partner, to
deliver LTE connectivity to our M2M and IoT enterprise customers," said
Toshiyuki Futakata, Vice President and Senior Manager of Radio Access Technology
Group, Communication Device Development Department at NTT DOCOMO. "Given that
this wireless module has already been successfully deployed in the U.S, we are
confident that businesses and consumers in Japan will also enjoy the same highly
efficient LTE connectivity, harnessing Gemalto's field-proven expertise."
"Gemalto and NTT DOCOMO share the same vision of accelerating IoT and LTE
adoption and innovation in Japan," said Thothadri Sashidhar, VP M2M Sales APAC
at Gemalto. "Our Cinterion family of wireless modules is the world's first to
support LTE Cat.1, and being qualified, means device manufacturers can shorten
the time-to-market for their products."
