Gemalto demonstrates fully interoperable remote SIM provisioning for M2M applications
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, Feb. 24, 2017 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces that its On-Demand Connectivity (ODC) solution
has completed rigorous GSMA-led tests that demonstrate its ability to support
remote provisioning of a wide range of eSIM (embedded SIM) vendors, mobile
network operators (MNOs) and subscription management platforms in M2M
applications. These independently proven interoperability tests are an industry
first, and mark Gemalto's leadership position in the remote SIM provisioning
space. They therefore provide enterprises with further reassurance that Gemalto
can facilitate support for multiple eSIM technologies and seamless switching
between network providers to maintain the best possible M2M connectivity
coverage.
With nearly 75% of global M2M connections now serviced by mobile operators(1),
interoperability between different suppliers has become an industry-wide
priority to facilitate faster adoption of eSIM technology. In response, the GSMA
initiated a series of trials involving leading stakeholders to test and showcase
portability and compliance in the remote SIM provisioning market.
"This series of practical trials demonstrated interoperability between different
platform and device providers and showcased the flexibility of the GSMA Embedded
SIM for the M2M specification to support M2M applications in the Internet of
Things (IoT)," said Arnaud Danree, Executive Director, M2M Embedded SIM, GSMA.
"This is an important step as it provides market reassurance to customers
investing in IoT solutions that they will function for many years in the
field."
Gemalto's long-standing involvement in the GSMA program saw its On-Demand
Subscription Management platform successfully complete the M2M Embedded SIM
Portability tests. This included testing the ability to download MNO profiles to
different eSIM vendors, and the capability of Gemalto's own subscription
management platforms to handle a Subscription Management - Secure Routing (SM-
SR) change. In the field, such capabilities enable enterprises to easily move
their entire population of M2M devices between network providers, regardless of
the eSIM technology deployed and without any need for physical changes.
"As the M2M and IoT markets develop and mature, interoperability and adherence
to common standards have become the key to speeding adoption worldwide," said
David Buhan, Senior Vice President of Mobile and IoT services at Gemalto. "From
the outset, Gemalto has been closely and actively involved in the creation of
the GSMA specifications for the eSIM and remote provisioning ecosystems, and
these latest tests further demonstrate the strength and depth of our on-going
commitment."
