GCT Semiconductor Holding Inc., A Leading Designer and Supplier of Advanced 4G and 5G Semiconductor Solutions, and Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), A Global Provider of Esim Technology and Developer of the First GSMA SGP.32 Fully-Certified Product, deadly their partnership to Launch a cutting-edge SGP.32 ESIM Solution with integrated profile Activation Device (iPad) Support for Multi-Network IoT devices.
This collaboration for ESIMs or SIM cards that are embedded directly into a device brings intelligent, conscious connectivity to headless 4G and 5G IoT devices. In addition, the collaboration provides a top performance based on location, availability, costs and politics, safe progress for mission-critical applications in the entire industry. GCT will include this extended ability in all future 4G and 5G chipsets.
SGP.32 is the latest technical specification of GSMA for IoT that is sure e.g. IoT technologies are safe and interoperable with networks worldwide. By integrating SGP.32 into the functions of the iPad into the Multi-Network-4G and 5G chip sets and modules of GCT, the solution enables optimal connectivity and flexible life cycle management without the need for physical SIM swaps or user interventions.
“The introduction of the ESIM technology in IoT devices and wearables has become increasingly popular, driven by the new functions of the remote -Sim”, “ said John Schlaefer, CEO from GCT.
“In many IoT devices, however, a user interface is missing to fully access these functions -a challenge that IPAD treats effectively. We look forward to working closely with G+D in order to offer advanced flexibility of the devices and improved security for the growing market of IoT products worldwide.”
“The ESIM market continues to grow, both in terms of importance and in size and is one of the core connectivity solutions of the future, especially in the IoT area. Since the introduction of the first ESIM in 2012 and to date, G+D has carried out this space with solution innovation and by accepting industry and cooperation in industry.” Said Beegek Lim, Global Head of Digital Connectivity Solutions at G+D.
“In order to stay at the top of this technology, it is important to work with the right partners. We are happy to work closely with the GCT to further define and shape the cellular future of the IoT.”
