Gemalto, Jasper Team Up To Simplify Global IoT Deployment

Gemalto and Jasper Partner to Simplify the Global Deployment
of IoT Devices

Digital security provider Gemalto and IoT platform developer Jasper today announced a partnership to simplify global deployment of IoT devices and services through on-demand subscription management using embedded SIM

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobile World
Congress -- Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in
digital security, and Jasper, a global Internet of Things (IoT)
platform leader, today announced a partnership to simplify global
deployment of IoT devices and services through on-demand subscription
management. Integrating Jasper's IoT service platform with Gemalto's
LinqUs On-Demand Connectivity removes the complexity of deploying
connected services worldwide - for mobile operators, device
manufacturers, and application providers. Customers can provision and
manage subscriptions on devices remotely via a single embedded SIM
(eSIM), resulting in more efficient and cost-effective deployment
models while enabling rapid distribution and device activation.

"Enterprises across every industry are already looking to deliver IoT
services to their customers today, but the ability to expand those
services globally across multiple mobile operators can be daunting,"
said Macario Namie, VP Strategy at Jasper. "This partnership enables
mobile operators to benefit from a pre-integrated solution which
reduces complexity for all. Joining forces with Gemalto means connected
devices can be transferred seamlessly between networks to take
advantage of local operator support, comply with international roaming
restrictions and address cost constraints."

"Our customers can dramatically increase opportunities and growth
across IoT verticals such as mHealth, automotive, and consumer
electronics that rely on seamless cross border connectivity," said
Benoit Jouffrey, VP of On-Demand Connectivity at Gemalto. "The
integration of the two technologies, currently under deployment with
lead customers, expedites go-to-market timelines and optimizes IoT
investments."

Gemalto's On-Demand Subscription Manager (OSM) and the Jasper IoT
service platform enable the management of Global eSIMs, providing
network operators & enterprises with the following advantages:

-- Single SIM for Manufacturing & Distribution - Enterprises benefit
from a single SIM for both manufacturing and distribution across all
geographies, eliminating the need for physical substitution - regardless
of the device's destination country.

-- Worldwide Operator Alliance Framework - With the Jasper platform, a
Global eSIM can be configured as local on operator networks worldwide,
providing enterprises with a single service level agreement (SLA) and
point of contact for service and support across multiple operators
-- Single Global Operations Interface - The Jasper Control Center provides a
common view of all devices worldwide - across multiple mobile operators -
including network status and diagnostics.

-- Automated Lifecycle Management - Devices' mobile subscriptions are
automatically updated over the air (OTA) throughout the lifecycle.

-- Local Service & Usage Plans - The integrated solution will provide
local regulatory compliance worldwide, while localized rate plans provide
the ability to control and predict costs globally.
