Machine-to-Machine

The wireless
M2M market is increasingly growing worldwide. It covers
a wide array of applications including remote management, industrial data
collection, intrusion control and healthcare.
However, M2M imposes new demands and a standard SIM card is not optimized
for the job. This new, industrial environment requires a card that:
- resists extremes of vibration, temperature, and humidity
- has a life span from 5 to 10 years
- is tamper-proof.
The Gemalto M2M card is 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.
