Identity and security solutions firm, Morpho (Safran) announced that the company has successfully tested a specialized embedded SIM developed by Morpho on Telit’s 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular IoT modules for deployment in an Emergency Road Assistance project in Russia. London-based Telit is a global provider of wireless M2M connectivity and IoT platform.

The project has been launched to introduce a sensor-based in-vehicle emergency call system that in case of an accident automatically dials an emergency number linked to the nearest emergency center. Basic data – including the location – is sent to the local emergency services, meaning that the response can be faster, the size and scope of an incident can be assessed early and time can be saved in critical life-and-death situations. These life-saving measurements are made possible by the integration of a specialized embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) into the telematics control system of vehicles. 

In addition, Morpho has been working closely with Telit to test special eUICCs that are developed specifically for M2M and additionally implement ERA GLONASS services.

In fact, besides having the broadest cellular IoT modules portfolio in the marketplace, the company markets a comprehensive range of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) modules that provide fast, accurate position fixes even in harsh environments and challenging urban areas.
