Telit announces partnership with Deutsche Telekom’s nuSIM initiative

Summary

May 2, 2019 – Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), announced that it is a partner for Deutsche Telekom’s nuSIM initiative.

The nuSIM initiative takes a fundamentally new approach to IoT system design by moving the subscriber identity module’s (SIM) functionality to the cellular chipset. The IoT device has the mobile operators’ credentials securely programmed during manufacturing, eliminating the need for the traditional physical SIM card.

nuSIM enables a new generation of IoT devices, applications and business models. nuSIM also complements mobile IoT technologies, which are designed to enable a wider range of IoT devices and use cases by reducing cost, size and power requirements.   

Telit is a longtime Deutsche Telekom partner and was the first module supplier to become an active contributor in the nuSIM initiative. Telit’s role includes contributing to the nuSIM design process and serving as a test bed for the technology.
