Machine-to-Machine
The wireless
M2M market is increasingly growing worldwide. It covers
a wide array of applications including automotive, metering, remote management,
industrial data collection, healthcare...
However, M2M imposes new demands and a standard SIM card is not adapted for
the job. This new, environment requires a Machine Identity Module (MIM) that:
- resists extremes of vibration, temperature, and humidity
- has a long life span (ex: 10 years)
- has a small footprint (miniaturization)
- is adapted to industrial manufacturing processes
The Gemalto Machine Identity Modules are uniquely able to meet all needs of
mobile operators and their new partners in the M2M value chain.
The complex logistics of the M2M market also demand special attention. It’s a
long chain, which slows down deployment and sends the logistical costs up.
That's why Gemalto has developed a new, dedicated SIM platform specifically
for M2M applications with the goal of ensuring that mobile operators can claim
and retain a significant stake in this new market. Proven in the field, this
unique platform, which is presented in several form factors is already starting
to contribute to successful M2M systems around the world, and has been selected
by many M2M hardware providers as the best wireless solution.
