Remote Subscription Management Solution
NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, is supplying its
LinqUS On-Demand Connectivity (ODC) Subscription Management solution and the GSMA
compliant Embedded SIMs (eSIMs) to China Mobile. The operator is the world’s
largest telecom carrier with over 845 Million subscribers[1], and the solution
will enable secure connectivity for connected cars. As a result, with China
Mobile network, a new subscription profile can be securely provisioned in any
cars equipped with embedded SIM and end users will enjoy “in-car”
connected services throughout the lifecycle of the car, such as infotainment,
navigation support, safety or vehicle diagnostic.The connected car market is projected to be worth US$130 billion by 2021[2]. In
the meantime, buyers are increasingly looking at value-added services as an
important criterion when choosing a new ride, and fuss-free and high-quality
connectivity will be an area of interest in years to come. Case in point, data
from a 2015 McKinsey survey suggest that 60% of Chinese car owners would switch
to another brand if they feel a competitor could offer better connectivity.
China sold 24.6 million cars in 2015, and became the largest car market in the
world. In such a competitive climate, automotive makers will have to innovate
in all aspects in order to distinguish themselves from the rest.
Internet of Things is one of the most important growth drivers as China Mobile
transforms from being a mobile network operator to becoming a digital service
provider. The promise of IoT is immense.
“Today, Gemalto has deployed more than 20 On-Demand Connectivity
solutions, and has executed at least 300 over-the-air (OTA) deployments around
the globe. We also have the largest portfolio of M2M and IoT solutions and
services, including eSIM, which are compliant with the latest GSMA
specifications,” said Suzanne Tong-Li, President, Greater China &
Korea at Gemalto. “With such rich experience and expertise, we believe we
are in a sweet spot to help operators like China Mobile make a successful leap
to IoT.”
