Want to have 4G connectivity on your PC everywhere you go? With Acer and Gemalto you can

Singapore, 31 May 2018 – By 2022, more than 4 in 10 employees around
the world are expected to be mobile, according to Strategy Analytics. With
an increasing need for workplace mobility, Acer has incorporated Gemalto
miniaturized embedded SIM (eSIM) into its Swift 7 laptops to offer
ultra-portable always-connected PCs that enable users to be connected on the
go.

Compliant with the GSMA Remote SIM
Provisioning specifications, Gemalto eSIM is fully
integrated with Windows 10. Users can easily activate the default telecom
operator profile which comes with the new Acer Swift 7. Later on, they can
switch to their preferred mobile network operator without the need to change
SIM cards as eSIM is globally interoperable across all carriers. Thanks to
reliable and always-on mobile eSIM connectivity, professionals gain in work
productivity and efficiency wherever they are.

Mobility is gaining traction worldwide. IDC reported that global spending on
mobility-related hardware, software, and services – such as smartphones,
enterprise mobility management software and mobile connectivity services will
reach US$1.72 trillion by 2021, up by 8.5% compared to last year. The U.S,
Mainland China, and Japan are expected to be the top three markets in terms of
mobility spending throughout the forecast period.

“With Gemalto’s proven expertise in eSIM
deployment, the Acer Swift 7 can help professionals stay productive with
flexible and seamless connectivity on the go,” said Jerry Hou, General
Manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer. “Similar to smartphones, always-connected PCs such as Acer’s
Swift 7 will get notifications and pull data without ever disconnecting. We are
delighted to provide this seamless connectivity, which will in turn help
organizations better serve the needs of the growing pool of mobile workers,”
said Sashidhar Thothadri, senior vice president, Mobile Services & IOT Asia, Gemalto.
