The new solution allows users to easily activate their mobile subscription of their eSIM-enabled consumer IoT devices<\/p>\n

Austin, TX,\u00a0 31 January 2018 <\/strong>– Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, announces its new Subscription Management<\/a> Discovery Service<\/a> solution. This initiative sets new standards of freedom for all users of eSIM<\/a>-connected devices, such as smartwatches, tablets, connected PCs and many more. It simplifies the customer\u2019s experience of connecting a device \u2018out-of-the-box\u2019 to the cellular network with the offer of their choice. Users simply select their preferred mobile operator, purchase a subscription which is instantly downloaded and activated over-the-air.<\/p>\n

Operated by Gemalto, and leveraging its SAS certified environment, this service makes eSIM activation seamless and works for any device. In the case of devices sold independently from a mobile subscription, it removes the hassle of issuing a QR code for activation and automatically gives users the freedom to choose their network. For operator-branded devices, it automatically connects to the operator\u2019s back-end to activate the eSIM. This makes adoption of eSIM technology a lot simpler for end-users.<\/p>\n

What does Discovery Service offer device makers and mobile operators?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on the mobile industry\u2019s specifications the \u2018Root Discovery Service\u2019 concept, offered as a cloud service *<\/sup> by Gemalto enables manufacturers to market innovative devices with a straightforward connectivity set-up experience including the choice of mobile subscription. Mobile operators will have the opportunity to expand their business across a new population of connected devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Discovery Service will boost eSIM adoption by OEMs and mobile operators as our solution facilitates the service deployment\u201d said Benoit Jouffrey, vice president Connected & Embedded Solutions for Gemalto. \u201cPart of our On-Demand Connectivity<\/a> offer, this revolutionary service fits into our broader vision to enable a secure*<\/sup> and seamless digital customer journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
