Cubic, a number one international supplier of software-defined automobile (SDV) options integrates Thales’s eSIM know-how to handle the rising want for sensible and environment friendly connectivity that matches the newest GSMA requirements.
Thales, a worldwide eSIM administration platform chief, has pushed dependable profitable deployments in high-volume gadget markets, making it ideally suited to help Cubic.
Thales, a world chief in superior applied sciences, and Cubic, a number one international supplier of software-defined automobile (SDV) options, have introduced a collaboration to drive innovation and simplify connectivity administration.
Leveraging Thales’s eSIM administration platform, Cubic will improve its eSIM resolution capabilities to align with the newest GSMA requirements, guaranteeing seamless international connectivity throughout industries akin to automotive, transportation, and agriculture.
With the adoption of the GSMA SGP.32* normal for IoT, the stakes for the sector are vital. This normal outlines a number of vital technical and enterprise necessities for eSIM administration within the IoT, together with enhanced safety, interoperability throughout gadgets and community operators, and scalability for high-volume deployments. This new framework is crucial for enabling the large-scale deployment of eSIM know-how throughout a wide range of gadgets, addressing the necessity for sensible and seamless connectivity administration.
This partnership introduces Thales’s eSIM administration platform – compliant with the GSMA SGP.32 normal – to Cubic’s current multi-network and international connectivity administration ecosystem. This innovation allows the continued mass deployment of eSIMs throughout Cubic’s huge footprint of over 200 international locations, whereas simplifying connectivity administration throughout a number of gadgets by automating subscription activation and updates remotely. This dramatically reduces the necessity for guide intervention, bodily SIM swaps or gadget remembers.
Cubic’s prospects, together with Volkswagen AG, Cariad, Common Motors, SEAT, IVECO and CNH may gain advantage from enhanced options akin to this, to assist guarantee managing automobile connectivity turns into easy. Automobiles geared up with Cubic’s resolution which now integrates Thales’s platform can mechanically hook up with native networks when crossing borders, eliminating the necessity for advanced growth or extra prices. This ensures a seamless international expertise for automotive producers and their prospects as automobiles may be pre-configured with connectivity profiles on the manufacturing facility degree and activated dynamically as they’re deployed within the area.
“Thales has been a trusted partner of Cubic since 2017,” mentioned Nick Energy, CTO at Cubic. “For OEMs, adopting GSMA M2M eSIM has been anything but simple. Technical complexity, vendor lock-in, and managing multi-MNO connectivity at a global scale have all slowed adoption. Transitioning to a leaner, more efficient GSMA eSIM IoT architecture will be essential. This collaboration highlights our commitment to standardisation, interoperability and innovation ensuring Cubic customers can enjoy a more flexible, cost efficient and a future-proof approach to global connectivity.”
“With this upgrade, Cubic aims to remain at the forefront of IoT connectivity by addressing evolving market demands. The integration of Thales’s “On-Demand Subscription Manager” platform will allow Cubic to maximise end-to-end connectivity administration for OEMs, guaranteeing gadgets are seamlessly related from manufacturing facility to area,” mentioned Eva Rudin, VP Cellular Connectivity Options at Thales. “This collaboration highlights our commitment to standardization, interoperability, and innovation for IoT.”
