Vodafone Enterprise IoT, Europe’s main enterprise connectivity supplier, and Kigen, the worldwide chief in built-in SIM technology, are collaborating to cut back the time and operational burden enterprises face in creating IoT services.
Because of this, the 2 corporations’ iSIM know-how is commercially obtainable immediately on a number of chip units, with supply occasions quicker than any earlier era of SIM.
This acceleration is feasible due to Vodafone’s connectivity being immediately built-in into Kigen’s iSIM Safe Package deal on the shopper’s chosen chipset or module – making scaling seamless for enterprises.
Vodafone’s intensive international connectivity footprint of over 180 international locations additional provides to the velocity at which companies can manufacture as soon as and ship globally. This optimization is a direct results of learnings derived from the growing demand for Kigen’s iSIM and Vodafone Enterprise IoT managed connectivity options throughout quite a few industries, corresponding to wearables, good well being units, asset monitoring (i.e. observe & hint purposes), water monitoring, industrial and business metering which require lengthy battery lifetime of round 10 years or extra.
iSIM is a significant step ahead within the evolution of the SIM and is utilized in IoT units to connect with the cellular community. iSIM allows the performance of a SIM card to be securely built-in with the chip and delivers a major time-to-market benefit for patrons trying to construct related units, in addition to permitting units to be extra compact with enhanced tamper-resistance and safety.
Consolidation of chip parts inherent to iSIM know-how reduces prices related to sourcing particular person parts of the SIM, export or import prices, and time invested in negotiating particular person agreements with suppliers – usually, a major proportion of product growth.
Streamlining iSIM integration throughout manufacturing automates connectivity upon deployment, decreasing prices related to handbook set up and power consumption, and serving to scale back carbon footprint.
Erik Brenneis, Chief Govt Officer of Vodafone IoT, mentioned: “We’re delighted to additional our collaboration with Kigen – offering worldwide iSIM connectivity to extra prospects in additional international locations, in addition to hyperscaling our managed connectivity service.
“Vodafone Enterprise IoT has constructed a best-in-class iSIM connectivity service which is particularly useful for LWPA purposes that use our low energy, huge space IoT networks. Our built-in SIM may help companies throughout nearly each trade simplify their manufacturing processes, scale back their prices, and assist them to avoid wasting on power prices, in addition to give them entry to safe and dependable connectivity wherever they function throughout the globe. We look ahead to scaling our iSIM service with new rising applied sciences.”
Vincent Korstanje, Chief Govt Officer of Kigen, mentioned: “Enterprises with a worldwide focus are main the cost for speedy iSIM integration, emphasizing velocity to market as an important issue of their product technique. With Vodafone Enterprise IoT, Kigen’s revolutionary iSIM Safe Package deal empowers producers to distribute units at scale, eliminating the normal anticipate SIMs – setting a brand new benchmark in safe IoT.”
As a worldwide chief in IoT, this collaboration is a major milestone in Vodafone IoT’s iSIM technique to ship cutting-edge and safe connectivity options to extra individuals in additional locations.
