Huawei and Gemalto team up to accelerate NarrowBand IoT deployments
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Gemalto and Huawei create a cost-effective solution for mass market IoT
Amsterdam, 14 November, 2017 - To help device manufacturers meet a growing
demand for long-lasting low-power NarrowBand (NB) IoT modules, Gemalto and
Huawei - via its semiconductor arm, HiSilicon - are working together to develop
the next generation of modules that combine an extra level of security and
consume very low power. By combining the expertise from both companies, these
NB-IoT modules will help manufacturers reduce the cost and size of their
devices, and lengthen the battery life of the devices to up to ten years.
NB IoT has been developed to address lower bit rates and lower cost segments,
and works virtually anywhere. It offers ultra-low power consumption enabling
devices to be battery operated for periods of up to 10 years. Applications
include smart parking sensors, intruder and fire alarms, personal healthcare
appliances, tracking devices, and street lamps to name a few. According to ABI
Research, NB IoT modules connecting objects to networks are forecast to
represent over 20% of all cellular shipments by 2021.
"2017 is the year of commercial NB IoT rollouts for us, and we will be building
30 such networks in 20 countries worldwide by the end of the year. Huawei has
been a major player in this arena, and we continue to capitalize on this vast
opportunity," said XiongWei, president of LTE solution, Huawei. "We look to
supply the market with solutions that provide stable connectivity, low energy
consumption, and cost efficiency. The network roll-out will now come with an
enhanced integration and flexibility thanks to this collaboration with Gemalto."
"The combination of our expertise in IOT cellular connectivity, and digital
security, and Huawei's high-performance NB IoT chipsets will help device
manufacturers and service providers take the plunge into cellular IoT mass
deployment thanks to a standardized solution," said Suzanne Tong-Li, SVP Greater
China and Korea for Mobile Services and IoT and China President, Gemalto. "Our
collaboration simplifies the implementation of NB IoT projects combining solid
security and flexibility."
