Press release
Paris, November 28, 2016
Ingenico Group, Oberthur Technologies and Vodafone join forces to revolutionize
payment terminal connectivity with Ingenico Connectivity/Manager
Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346 - ING), the global leader in seamless
payment, OT (Oberthur Technologies), a leading global provider of embedded
security software products, services and solutions, and Vodafone announced that
they have been collaborating to define a disruptive connectivity management
solution based on embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC). This
partnership brings together the best of their know-how to revolutionize payment
terminal connectivity in an agile way.
By joining forces, Ingenico, Vodafone and OT will make the remote management of
payment terminals' cellular connectivity a reality thanks to
Connectivity/Manager. This tripartite solution leverages OT's eUICC and remote
subscription management solution, Ingenico's smart terminals as well as
Vodafone's global IoT communications platform, and eliminates all logistic
constraints toward SIM management. Enabling both the remote installation and
management of operator profiles, it will dramatically improve operational
efficiency, and also enhance merchants' experience with better connectivity and
ready-to-use payment terminal. This pioneering solution will provide unequalled
quality of service and increase opportunities for acquirers & estate owners
around the globe.
"We are delighted to work with Ingenico and Vodafone to optimize global
connectivity management of POS during their entire lifespan. Our solution will
also simplify the worldwide distribution of the POS and enable Ingenico to
deliver an improved connectivity service to acquirers and merchants thanks to
primary connectivity and back-up subscriptions hosted in the same eUICC. This
will increase the transaction success rate by avoiding transaction failures
related to temporary loss of connectivity" said Pierre Barrial, Managing
Director of the Connected Device Makers activity at OT. "This is a strategic
project for us, in line with our ambition to provide our OEM and MNO customers
with the best solution to manage connectivity in a secure and flexible way
across the variety of devices and equipment that constitute the Internet of
Things."
"Ecosystems and partnerships are going to be critical in the continued success
of IoT and I believe that this relationship will prove to be a powerful and
successful one for the POS industry," highlighted Vodafone head of IoT Ivo Rook.
"This solution will dramatically change the way terminals estate owners manage
connectivity. Nowadays, ensuring a merchant's payment terminal is operational
accounts for up to 17% of the overall terminal TCO. With this new solution, the
payment terminal will embed a SIM that can be set and updated over-the-air. Thus
estates will be managed more efficiently. Field services around SIM card
logistics will become redundant, which will save estate owners time and costs
while simplifying merchants' set-up," explained Jacques Guérin, EVP Smart
terminals for Ingenico Group.
