AMSTERDAM, Nov 21, 2016 – (ACN Newswire) – Gemalto
(Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, 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. As a result it enables 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 facilitates smooth and secure
subscriber journeys and allows mobile operators, OEMs and service providers to
invent new “on the fly” services and generate new revenue streams
from the fast growing consumer IoT market.Phase 2 of the GSMA specification builds on the
initial version launched earlier this year, making it possible to address
seamlessly all types of eSIM-enabled consumer devices. Gemalto has been closely
involved in its development and this commitment is reflected in the swift
compliance of its On-Demand Connectivity offer. Gemalto’s end-to-end solution
is already proven in numerous deployments worldwide[1] 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 standardized 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.

“By fulfilling all the requirements of the
revised GSMA standard so rapidly, our On-Demand Connectivity Platform will help
sustain dynamic growth in the market,” said Benoit Jouffrey, Vice
President of On-Demand Connectivity at Gemalto.
