As billions of devices connect to emerging 5G networks, and increasing volumes of data go into the cloud, new risks must be anticipated and managed.
As billions of devices connect to emerging 5G networks, and increasing volumes of data go into the cloud, new risks must be anticipated and managed. 5G security is critical for device manufacturers and service providers and Thales is pioneering a holistic approach by developing next generation solutions to secure devices and data, and manage device lifecycles.
“We have been pioneering IoT solutions for 25 years and in 2019 we celebrated our 150 millionth worldwide IoT cellular module delivery,” says Andreas Haegele, VP IoT at Thales. “Our industrial IoT solutions are designed to be secure, smart and scalable, allowing our customers to rely on us for a comprehensive portfolio of hardware, software and support services, for the most ambitious IoT projects.”
Thales authentication and data management capabilities ensure the digital security of new network deployments moving trust forward for 5G.
Thales demonstrated key IoT building blocks for trusted cellular connectivity at CES 2020, including:
- Security for 5G – 5G is a total software defined network, providing unique features, such as network slicing and virtualization that require new and stronger security approaches. Thales provides state-of-the-art digital authentication, combined with secure identity and data management to enable trust for 5G.
- Greyp connected eMountain bike – An innovative IoT application which introduces groundbreaking smart functions, powered by Gemalto’s embedded SIM (eSIM) and IoT cellular modules.
- The small 5G IoT broadband data card – A new solution for size-constrained devices enabling them to benefit from 5G speeds and plug-and-play global connectivity. It offers full 5G spectrum support and high-speed LTE fallback for regions without full 5G deployment.
- Gemalto eSIM – These imbedded SIM technologies enable device manufacturers to ship ready-to-connect, highly secure IoT devices, for seamless and instant connectivity, improving the overall customer experience.
Thales state of the art digital security solutions, including the world’s first 5G SIM cards, leverage strong authentication and end-to-end encryption and together ensure data confidentiality and integrity for secure and scalable device connectivity.
