Secure NB-IoT platform

30 April 2019 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Gemalto is offering highly efficient IoT connectivity with the launch of its Cinterion Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) wireless module platform. The new solution builds on the success of Gemalto’s NB-IoT product in China, delivering power efficient future 5G connectivity to APAC and Europe.

A combination of several optional security features ensures trust in the comprehensive IoT ecosystem. The solution is ideal for the growing mass of industrial solutions that require extreme efficiency, expanded coverage and long life such as utility meters and smart city solutions.

The IoT is accelerating at dizzying speed, with China leading the way and the European market following with more than 415 million connections expected in the next five years. The majority of these connections are emerging in the industrial IoT (IIoT) sector where highly efficient, Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies such as NB-IoT are driving massive expansion. A recent report by Custom Market Insights predicts the NB-IoT market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 90% between now and 2025. As the number of connections continues to rise, so do cyberattacks, making digital security an urgent concern.

Leveraging Gemalto’s strong capability in securely managing billions of digital credentials, the Cinterion NB-IoT platform will offer an integrated eSIM in selected platform products. Gemalto eSIMs authenticate IoT devices, encrypt data and securely manage connections to cellular networks. Soldered to the IoT module, eSIMs reduce the size and cost of solutions while strengthening security and reliability. Pre-installed certificates simplify secure on-boarding to cloud services by authenticating leading cloud platform providers.

The new Gemalto Cinterion ENS22 NB-IoT wireless module gives developers a single mode NB-IoT connectivity solution designed to meet the highest standards and requirements of the European and APAC regions. Its power management system boosts energy performance to extend battery life for up to 10 years.

The module is ideal for stationary IoT applications that send data only at intermittent intervals. Gemalto’s evolution strategy enables forward migration within Cinterion product families while allowing a single device design for any technology standard or geographical area where it is used.

To better manage devices in the field over long life cycles, the module enables incremental firmware updates over-the-air (FOTA), a mandatory feature for cost savings and device lifecycle management. These updates allow revision of only the portion of code that needs updating. This significantly reduces transmission time, power draw and throughput, which are all essential in preserving the investment in NB-IoT technology.
