China Mobile Enters the Connected Car Market with Gemalto's Remote Subscription Management Solution

AMSTERDAM, Dec 13, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - Gemalto (Euronext
NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, is
supplying its LinqUS On-Demand Connectivity (ODC) Subscription
Management solution and the GSMA compliant Embedded SIMs (eSIMs) to
China Mobile. The operator is the world's largest telecom carrier
with over 845 Million subscribers[1], and the solution will enable
secure connectivity for connected cars. As a result, with China
Mobile network, a new subscription profile can be securely
provisioned in any cars equipped with embedded SIM and end users
will enjoy "in-car" connected services throughout the lifecycle of
the car, such as infotainment, navigation support, safety or
vehicle diagnostic.
The connected car market is projected to be worth US$130 billion by
2021[2]. In the meantime, buyers are increasingly looking at
value-added services as an important criterion when choosing a new
ride, and fuss-free and high-quality connectivity will be an area
of interest in years to come. Case in point, data from a 2015
McKinsey survey suggest that 60% of Chinese car owners would switch
to another brand if they feel a competitor could offer better
connectivity. China sold 24.6 million cars in 2015, and became the
largest car market in the world. In such a competitive climate,
automotive makers will have to innovate in all aspects in order to
distinguish themselves from the rest.
Internet of Things is one of the most important growth drivers as
China Mobile transforms from being a mobile network operator to
becoming a digital service provider. The promise of IoT is
immense.
"Today, Gemalto has deployed more than 20 On-Demand Connectivity
solutions, and has executed at least 300 over-the-air (OTA)
deployments around the globe. We also have the largest portfolio of
M2M and IoT solutions and services, including eSIM, which are
compliant with the latest GSMA specifications," said Suzanne
Tong-Li, President, Greater China & Korea at Gemalto. "With
such rich experience and expertise, we believe we are in a sweet
spot to help operators like China Mobile make a successful leap to
IoT."
