The IoT market has entered a brand new section with Giesecke+Devrient Cell Safety (G+D) as we speak unveiling its new market prepared Built-in SIM (iSIM) resolution for the IoT based mostly on a module by Telit Cinterion.
With its cutting-edge iSIM working system for a chipset from Sony Semiconductor Israel (Sony), G+D is now offering an answer particularly designed and optimized to be used in NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) functions.
The iSIM is central to bettering the connectivity, safety and sustainability of next-generation IoT units. G+D needs to speed up its iSIM innovation and subsequently, in cooperation with Telit Cinterion, a worldwide chief in IoT enablement merchandise, providers, and options, has developed a brand new resolution excellent for a variety of NB-IoT use instances comparable to sensible metering, sensible agriculture, asset monitoring and extra.
A key part of the answer is the iSIM or iUICC (built-in common built-in circuit card), which, in contrast to pluggable SIM playing cards or completely soldered eSIMs, is a tamper-resistant aspect (TRE) inside a system-on-a-chip (SoC). Because of this the iSIM is an remoted {hardware} part mixed with a baseband chipset to type a single connectivity module. This design offers the iSIM quite a few benefits in areas comparable to energy consumption, value, sustainability and safety. The small footprint permits the manufacturing of small, light-weight and subsequently cost-effective units. As well as, iSIMs meet excessive sustainability necessities.
The remoted {hardware}, mixed with G+D’s safe and licensed iSIM working system, ensures a excessive stage of safety. With the participation of a worldwide tier-one world community operator, G+D has efficiently certified its iSIM-OS on the Telit Cinterion NE310L2 NB-IoT module, based mostly on Sony’s Altair ALT1255 chipset, and may now be supplied to OEMs. This marks a primary milestone for G+D, as one of many first suppliers of an working system for Sony’s low-power, cost-optimized Altair chipset that’s particularly tailor-made to NB-IoT use instances.
G+D’s safe iSIM-OS is platform-independent and ensures optimum performance on varied iSIM-enabled chipsets, together with Sony’s next-generations Altair ALT1250, ALT1255 and ALT1350 LTE-M and NB-IoT chipsets. This compatibility underscores G+D’s dedication to offering options that can be utilized for a variety of IoT functions and units.
“G+D is investing heavily in the research and development of iSIM technology. In close cooperation with industry partners, we want to drive iSIM innovation forward. The successful development and qualification of an optimized iSIM-OS for a cost-effective and commercially available NB-IoT product is a perfect example of this in action”, stated BeeGek Lim, World Vice President, Head of Enterprise Line Digital Choices at G+D. “In general, one of our main priorities is to provide secure solutions for a wide range of IoT applications and devices, so that users can realize the full potential of the IoT with flexible and cost-optimized connectivity”.
“Telit Cinterion is happy to be part of the co-operation between G+D and Sony Semiconductor Israel on this first innovative technology achievement”, stated Jose Sanchez, Senior Director Product Administration, IoT Connectivity & Providers at Telit Cinterion. “We look forward to working with our partners to stay at the forefront of iSIM technology for IoT in the coming years.”
“We are excited to collaborate with Telit Cinterion and G+D to enable iSIM on our LPWA products. ALT1255 is the first NB-IoT chipset on the market with iSIM”, stated Dima Feldman, VP Product Administration and Advertising at Sony Semiconductor Israel.
“iSIM enables connectivity without additional physical hardware, which simplifies the solution and logistical onboarding flow, and making it more affordable which is a key for the industrial IoT market”.
