Gemalto’s remote SIM provisioning wins GSMA approval

9 November 2016 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Gemalto has introduced an enhanced version of its LinqUs On-Demand Connectivity Platform that is fully compliant with the latest update to the GSMA Consumer Remote SIM Provisioning Specification. This will enable device makers and mobile operators to provide subscribers with out-of-the-box connectivity for any type of consumer device fitted with an eSIM (embedded SIM), including smartphones, tablets and wearables, as well as seamless subscription management throughout the product lifecycle.

On-demand connectivity over the air will facilitate smooth, secure subscriber journeys allowing mobile operators, OEMs and service providers to invent new ‘on the fly’ services, generating new revenue streams from the fast growing consumer IoT market.

Phase 2 of the GSMA specification builds on the initial version launched during 2016, making it possible to enable all types of eSIM-enabled consumer devices. Gemalto has been closely involved in its development. The end-to-end solution is already proven in numerous deployments worldwide and offers flexibility, scalability and straightforward integration with device manufacturers and operators’ existing processes.

Adoption of eSIM technology is fuelling rapid growth in IoT and M2M markets. It provides a single standardised solution that is embedded at the device manufacturing stage and can be employed across all markets and regions. Supported by the on-demand connectivity platform, choosing a subscription package and connecting to the network becomes as easy as turning on the device.
