Gemalto's Discovery Service boosts on-demand connectivity activation for consumer devices worldwide

The new solution allows users to easily activate
their mobile subscription of their eSIM-enabled consumer IoT
devices
Austin, TX, 31 January 2018 - Gemalto, the world
leader in digital security, announces its new Subscription
Management Discovery Service solution. This initiative sets new
standards of freedom for all users of eSIM-connected devices, such
as smartwatches, tablets, connected PCs and many more. It
simplifies the customer's experience of connecting a device
'out-of-the-box' to the cellular network with the offer of their
choice. Users simply select their preferred mobile operator,
purchase a subscription which is instantly downloaded and activated
over-the-air.
Operated by Gemalto, and leveraging its SAS certified
environment, this service makes eSIM activation seamless and works
for any device. In the case of devices sold independently from a
mobile subscription, it removes the hassle of issuing a QR code for
activation and automatically gives users the freedom to choose
their network. For operator-branded devices, it automatically
connects to the operator's back-end to activate the eSIM. This
makes adoption of eSIM technology a lot simpler for end-users.
What does Discovery Service offer device makers and mobile
operators?
Based on the mobile industry's specifications the
'Root
Discovery Service' concept, offered as a cloud service * by
Gemalto enables manufacturers to market innovative devices with
a straightforward connectivity set-up experience including the
choice of mobile subscription. Mobile operators will have the
opportunity to expand their business across a new population
of connected devices.
"The Discovery Service will boost eSIM adoption by OEMs
and mobile operators as our solution facilitates the service
deployment" said Benoit Jouffrey, vice president Connected &
Embedded Solutions for Gemalto. "Part of our On-Demand Connectivity
offer, this revolutionary service fits into our broader vision to
enable a secure* and seamless digital customer journey."
* Our service benefits from the security accreditation
(SAS for eSIM) awarded by the GSMA.
