The IoT industry requires both highly stable connectivity and
devices secured by-design to unleash its full potential and win
users’ trust. That’s how Thales came up with a single antenna
solution - compliant with LTE-Cat.1bis standard2 - to offer
flexible connectivity options and strong cybersecurity to IoT
device manufacturers. Its optimized size enables to address smaller
but still sensitive objects, such as medical wearables, smart
meters, home alarm systems or any other devices used in critical
use cases. In fact, the ELS62 module integrates security features
to protect both the device and data, by ensuring robustness against
cyberattacks, with strong device authentication and data
encryption.
In addition, device management is streamlined thanks to Thales’
leading expertise in remote device activation and connectivity
management3. Indeed, Thales’ 2G connectivity fall-back service
maximizes network reachability and improves users’ quality of
service. This means savings, not just at installation, but also
over the device’s lifecycle as it removes the need for physical
servicing (leading to a reduced total-cost of ownership).
“For EBS, iron-clad security is at the core of our business. As
a manufacturer of smart security systems, we have over 3 million
devices in the field. Our customers trust EBS to be at the
forefront of security technology at all times – and to keep them-
and their property- protected. This is a responsibility that we
take incredibly serious, also when choosing our suppliers. With the
Cinterion® ELS62, we are able to rely on Thales’ extensive security
expertise and have a connectivity module that is state-of-the-art,
that allows us to explore new technologies while never leaving any
doubt about data protection”, said Piotr Blaszczyk, Member of
the Management Board - Director for Research, Development and
Technical Support EBS Sp. z o. o.
“Security has always been part of Thales’ DNA. Our new ELS62
comes with our essential security features implemented directly on
the module, like trusted device identity for safe cloud
interworking and deep penetration testing against security threats.
The new Thales Cinterion® ELS62 Cat.1 bis will support device
makers’ ambitions and help our customers to develop innovative IoT
services”, said Francis D’Souza, Head of IoT Strategy and
Product Line Management at Thales, “Thales’ unique expertise in
developing reliable compact connectivity solution combined with a
security-by-design approach empowers our customers to build a
future we can all trust.”
