Daimler AG has signed a new partnership with embedded security software solutions provider, Oberthur Technologies (OT) to connect Mercedes-Benz passenger cars to the internet, providing a brand new digital experience to drivers and passengers. OT’s embedded SIM that can be remotely programmed will be deployed across Daimler’s vehicles starting with the new Mercedes-Benz E-class from March this year.
The solution will enable a wide range of telematics services such as remote maintenance and telediagnostics, emergency services, including live traffic information and remote door locking/unlocking.
According to OT, with its automotive-grade eUICC called DIM DakOTa Auto and OT’s M-Connect solution, Daimler will simplify the integration and management of the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) subscriptions in the cars throughout their life cycle. Fully compliant with GSMA specifications, OT said that its eUICC remote subscription management technology is providing the right level of trust and security to simplify MNO on-boarding.
