The new ‘plug & play’ eUICC (embedded Universal Integrated
Circuit Card) and SM-SR (Subscription Management Secure Routing)
delivers product future-proofing capability to IoT application
solution providers and other businesses. It provides them with the
ability to easily choose a mobile network operator (MNO) without
eventually having to manually change the embedded SIM card in their
cellular connectivity-based devices, machines and sensors that are
already deployed in the field. The product bundle is also unique as
it already includes an initial prepaid cellular connectivity
allowance with a cellular carrier profile that has been downloaded
to the eUICC during the manufacturing stage.
“Across multiple industrial segments, the embedded SIM adoption
is tremendous, driven primarily by critical benefits amongst the
device lifecycle connectivity management, sustainability in harsh
environment and deployment simplification,” said Yves Portalier,
executive vice president for connected objects activities at
IDEMIA. “Several market segments such as automotive are already
growing fast, so by combining the strengths of IDEMIA, Avnet and
our connectivity partners, we can help to drive the adoption of
this solution to all IoT use cases and applications.”
Avnet Silica will be the first division of Avnet to deploy the
solution and will manage the delivery, integration and service
operations for an estimated 10,000 industrial customers requiring
cellular support services.
Lou Lutostanski, vice president global IoT for Avnet said,
“Through this combined IoT solution with IDEMIA, we enable all our
customers -- as well as their customers -- to design future-proof
‘plug & play’ cellular-connected solutions. This optimizes and
ensures competitive advantages including secure and flexible global
connectivity with our mobile network operator partners. Our unique
business-model solution makes this high-end, state-of-the-art
technology affordable for each of our customers, regardless of
their size.”
The jointly developed Avnet Silica and IDEMIA solution is fully
compliant with Avnet’s global IoT program that offers end-to-end
solutions to guide customers from idea through every stage of their
design. Avnet’s IoT smart solutions help organizations jumpstart
development of IoT-enabled products and systems for industrial,
retail, healthcare and other environments.
