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.
