Ericsson and Munich-based Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) have entered a partnership to deliver end-to-end remote SIM management services that complies with the GSMA's industry-standard Embedded SIM Specification. The proof of concept for Ericsson and G&D's offering was recently demonstrated at the Asia IoT Business Platform event held in Jakarta, Indonesia in partnership with Indosat.
The joint services will be delivered through Device Connection Platform (DCP), Ericsson's Internet of Things/M2M platform, and G&D's subscription management platform, SmartTrust AirOn.
According to Ericsson, the integration of the two platforms will enable the remote provisioning and management of embedded SIM profiles and policies within a highly secure process. As a result, DCP-hosted operators will be able to manage embedded SIM connectivity remotely as part of global Internet of Things/M2M solutions, and will be well positioned to develop innovative partnerships in these areas with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). At the same time, enterprises and OEMs can manage embedded SIM devices across multiple operators and regions throughout the device life cycle, from manufacturing to phase-out, added Ericsson.
