LONDON, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a
global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced
Telit simWISE support for 4G LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity on its
first-of-kind cellular module-embedded technology. The technology
is a replacement or complement for manufacturers of
cellular-connected devices using a traditional SIM card and tray.
Manufacturers of connected products that choose to integrate Telit
IoT modules with this technology can expect reduced manufacturing
costs and improved customer experience across all verticals and
markets. For more information, visit

The module-software embedded SIM technology is essential to the
mass-rollout of cellular IoT technology, in particular low power
wide area offerings (LPWA), such as LTE-M and NB-IoT. In its 2017
release, simWISE targeted the mass market 2G devices in
Europe. With this release, Telit
looks to deliver new iSIM features and capabilities to its
portfolio of cellular IoT modules based on the Qualcomm® 9205 LTE
modem and the Qualcomm® MDM9206 IoT modem from Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc.
Telit simWISE is a pillar element of the company's award winning
OneEdge, a next generation cellular IoT module software suite with
pre-packaged, secure, easy-to-use deployment and management tools
for the new 5G super connected world. OneEdge is designed to
address top rated barriers to IoT scaling or adoption including
complexity acceleration in device provisioning and management, weak
security and wireless connectivity management
cumbersomeness.
The new release of simWISE integrates industry-leading identity
management technology for LTE-M and NB-IoT connected devices:
- Reducing design constraints and reliability issues of removable
SIM and tray
- Virtually eliminating logistic costs associated with control,
stock and shipping of pre-provisioned SIM cards
- Controlling costs created by physical visits to swap SIM
cards
"As industry analysts unanimously point to cellular LPWA as the
wireless technology to connect the Internet of billions of things,
we added LTE-M and NB-IoT support to our industry leading simWISE
iSIM lineup," said Alon Segal,
senior vice president, software and services, Telit. "The physical
SIM card was never a natural fit for non-consumer devices and
became a major issue for low power, low cost, small sized IoT
devices like water meters, cargo tags, and remote sensor network
devices used in mining, agriculture, and oil and gas. This release
of simWISE removes the physical SIM barrier and does so in the
context of the OneEdge paradigm for the IoT at scale."
"Qualcomm Technologies is proud to collaborate with Telit on
simWISE Embedded SIM Technology for Telit's modules based on the
Qualcomm MDM9206 and Qualcomm 9205 LTE IoT modems. The simWISE
solution utilizes Qualcomm Technologies' holistic hardware and
firmware to deliver robust security, scalability, and
performance. By eliminating the physical SIM card hardware,
Telit's modules are uniquely positioned to deliver the savings and
time-to-commercialization advantages that IoT products need in
order to build scale," said Vieri Vanghi, vice president, product
management, Qualcomm Europe, Inc.
The benefits of simWISE for cellular connected IoT deployments
include lower total cost of ownership, the ability to quickly swap
mobile network operators, improved product reliability, and a
single SKU for connected products that operate on a global scale.
simWISE comes integrated with Telit's connectivity that provides
scalable IoT connectivity, global coverage and visibility, granular
control and management, and a collection of connectivity tools and
resources. The cellular module series supporting the new release of
simWISE are the ME910C1, ME910G1 and ML865C1.
