Gemalto Boosts Highly Efficient IoT Connectivity with Secure NB-IoT Platform
Gemalto, the global leader in digital security, is expanding highly efficient IoT connectivity with the launch of its Cinterion® Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) wireless module platform. The new solution builds on the success of Gemalto’s NB-IoT product in China, delivering power efficient future 5G connectivity to APAC and Europe. A unique combination of several optional security features ensures trust in the comprehensive IoT ecosystem. The solution is ideal for the growing mass of industrial solutions that require extreme efficiency, expanded coverage and long life such as utility meters and smart city solutions.
LPWA NB-IoT drives massive IoT growth leading to increased security
concerns
The IoT is accelerating at dizzying speed with China
leading the way and the European market following with more than 415
million connections expected in the next five years1. The
majority of these connections are emerging in the industrial IoT (IIoT)
sector where highly efficient, Low
Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies such as NB-IoT are
driving massive expansion. A recent report by Custom Market Insights
predicts the NB-IoT market will grow at a CAGR of 90% between now and
20252. As the number of connections continues to raise, so do
cyberattacks making digital security an urgent concern.
Gemalto security “double play” ensures trust in NB-IoT
Leveraging
Gemalto’s strong capability in securely managing billions of digital
credentials, the Cinterion NB-IoT platform will offer an integrated eSIM
in selected platform products. Gemalto eSIMs authenticate IoT devices,
encrypt data and securely
manage connections to cellular networks. Soldered to the IoT module,
eSIMs reduce the size and cost of solutions while strengthening security
and reliability. Pre-installed certificates simplify secure onboarding
to cloud services by authenticating leading cloud platform providers.
Extended efficiency, long life battery, expanded coverage range
The
new Gemalto Cinterion ENS22 NB-IoT
wireless module gives developers a single mode NB-IoT connectivity
solution designed to meet the highest standards and requirements of the
European and APAC regions. Gemalto’s advanced power management system
significantly boosts energy performance extending battery life for up to
10 years. The module is ideal for stationary IoT applications that send
data only at intermittent intervals. Gemalto’s evolution strategy
enables easy forward migration within Cinterion product families while
allowing a single device design for any technology standard or
geographical area where it is used.
Incremental updates protect NB-IoT devices for long life
To
better manage devices in the field over long life cycles, the Cinterion
NB-IoT module enables incremental firmware updates over-the-air (FOTA),
a mandatory feature for cost savings and device lifecycle management.
These updates allow revision of only the portion of code that needs
updating. This significantly reduces transmission time, power draw and
throughput, which are all essential in preserving the investment in
NB-IoT technology.
“Gemalto debuted its Cinterion NB-IoT Platform early in China, a market that is driving global expansion of NB-IoT for IIoT connectivity,” said Dan Shey, ABI Research. “With Gemalto’s successful pilot product and the Chinese government’s aggressive NB-IoT goal of achieving 600 million connections in the coming years, Gemalto is well positioned to be a global leader in the NB-IoT category.”
“Gemalto’s Cinterion NB-IoT platform delivers a proven, high quality connectivity solution at the market’s most cost competitive price while delivering an industry unique security feature set,” said Andreas Haegele, SVP IoT Products, Gemalto. “The Gemalto NB-IoT solution strengthens the business case for cellular IoT technology and expands feasibility to use cases that were formerly cost prohibitive.”
