Italian-American IoT module maker Telit is to acquire the cellular IoT unit of French aerospace, defence, and security company Thales in return for a quarter-share of its expanded industrial IoT business. Thales will take a 25 percent stake in the expanded Telit business, headquartered...
The ability of eSIM technology to deliver advanced security, seamless and flexible connectivity, and full end-to-end digitalisation – along with myriad other benefits such as greener supply chains – has long promised to transform the connected ecosystem. Trusted Connectivity Alliance (TCA) has been tracking...
Deutsche Telekom has teamed up with Japanese module maker Murata and Dutch chip company Nowi on a small-sized energy-harvesting NB-IoT module (pictured) that uses the German operator’s proprietary iSIM solution, NuSIM. The trio have called it the world’s smallest battery-less NB-IoT module; it has...
London-based startup FloLIVE, offering global 5G connectivity for high-performance IoT, has combined with SIM specialist Kigen and chip maker Sony Semiconductor Israel (Sony; formerly Altair)) on a new iSIM-based cellular IoT module. The solution embeds the FloLIVE roaming solution onto Sony’s Altair ALT1250 cellular...
IoT chip and module maker Sequans Communications has said its Monarch 2 module, offering dual-band LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity, is available as a GSMA-compliant integrated SIM (iSIM / iUICC) unit. It said the iSIM-enabled Monarch 2 is the first IoT chip to pass third-party...
This article is continued from a previous entry, covering key NB-IoT challenges 1-5 – which is available here. Both articles are taken from a new report, entitled NB-IoT – what has gone wrong, and when will it go right? The full report is available...

Vodafone has deployed iSIM-based NB-IoT-connected sensor units, loosely resembling the printable iSIM tracker solution it developed with Altair and Arm for pharma firm Bayer last year, along the UK's southern coast. The new project is to help academics, businesses, and local authorities bring new...
Truphone has combined with chipset maker Sony Semiconductor Israel and SIM specialist Kigen on an integrated SIM (iSIM) solution for global IoT deployments. Altair and Kigen have worked separately to offer a proprietary version of iSIM technology for remote provisioning of cellular IoT devices...
AT&T has teamed up with Belfast-based SIM specialist Kigen, spun-out of chip design company Arm at the end of last year, to allow cellular IoT device makers to source integrated SIM solutions earlier in the manufacturing process. This includes at the point of contract...
Nokia has introduced new software to enable operators and enterprises to remotely manage cellular IoT devices with embedded and integrated SIM (eSIM and iSIM) functionality. The software works with standard consumer devices, as well, but eSIM and iSIM technologies make most difference in the...
The past year has most of us yearning for a more ‘normal’ year ahead. Fortunately, the future is bright in the IoT marketplace. Consider this: IoT Analytics predicted in 2018 that we’d see 21.7 billion active connected IoT devices in 2025; that forecast was...
IoT device management platform Pelion, previously a unit within Arm, has been spun-out as a standalone business, wholly-owned by the UK chip design firm. At the same time, it has integrated its connectivity management and device management engines, and bundled a new application management...
IoT module maker Telit said revenues climbed 7.8 per cent to $274.5 million in the nine months to the end of September, compared with $254.7 million in the year-ago period. The company has also announced new intergrated SIM (iSIM) software for its Qualcomm-based NB-IoT and...
Embedded SIM (eSIM) technology is gaining ground in the connected ‘things’ space, which requires subscriber identity modules (SIMs) to be remotely provisioned and tamper proof, and often miniaturised for IoT devices.
The rise of integrated SIM (iSIM) technology, where the SIM hardrware is not...
The SIM card, or subscriber identity module, is hardly perceived as cutting-edge technology, observes Vincent Korstanje, vice president and general manager of secure identity at chip-design company Arm. He conjures an image of “paperclips, staples, and stud earrings” as users attempt to eject their...
Chip-design company Arm has appointed Vodafone as its global 'bootstrap' provider for NB-IoT and LTE-M devices based on its new line of integrated SIM (iSIM) designs.
Emerging iSIM technology provides enterprises with a programmable, connected system-on-chip design that eliminates the need for traditional SIM cards....
Operators Sprint and Vodafone have backed Arm’s integrated SIM (iSIM) technology to help the internet-of-things (IoT) market reach scale.
Sprint confirmed it is working with fellow Softbank companies Arm and Packet on its new IoT platform, announced last week. Swedish vendor Ericsson has been handed...
