Well, it wasn’t my intent to make this a Wednesday tradition, but so far we’re two-for-two in terms of recent Wednesday morning articles covering Telit Cinterion.
Nevertheless, no harm in rolling with it, eh?
Last week on IoT Evolution World, we talked about Telit Cinterion and its history as a trusted provider of enterprise-grade products and software for cross-industry IoT use cases; for first responders, healthcare, agriculture, construction, private networks, smart factories, transportation, you name it.
At a glance, Telit streamlines and secures hyperconnected solutions that improve consumers’ lives and maximize the business impacts of IoT. (Connectivity is, as we’re fond of saying, the very lifeblood of the Internet of Things.) Telit Cinterion has already enabled thousands of successes in IoT via their unique wireless communication and positioning modules, customized data plans and services, cloud software, edge AI and more. The company’s support for manufacturers and operators maintaining unique IoT ecosystems powered by actionable intelligence has also grown significantly in recent memory; here’s a shortlist of our past Telit-focused coverage:
And last week’s news involved Telit making IoT more globally accessible via highlighted market opportunities for the company’s NExT IoT Connectivity Starter Kit; read our full scoop here.
Today, we tie several of these key ideas together with Telit’s latest headline:
Telit Cinterion announced “an industry-first” smart grid solution developed in partnership with Netinium.
For context, Netinium spearheads vendor-agnostic, multi-utility head-end systems (HES) for large-scale smart meter deployments and smart grid applications. By providing a reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient platform that helps teams leverage the potential of all their digital assets, Netinium strives to empower workers to control fluctuating smart grid demands without losing track of their long-term operational excellence.
So now, the integration of a.) Telit’s NExT eSIM provisioning system with b.) Netinium’s Smart Energy Platform is poised to c.) minimize the cost, complexity, and overall time it takes to deploy and manage modern smart meters throughout their lifecycle; this even includes network changes via remote eSIM profile swaps.
“With Telit Cinterion’s NExT eSIM provisioning,” per today’s official announcement, “Netinium's Smart Energy Platform is now the world’s first HES to provide SIM profile and subscription management capabilities. By making eSIM management an integral part of device lifecycle management and edge device configuration, this GSMA SGP.32-compliant solution eliminates several longstanding challenges for utilities.” (The challenges, in question, relating to disparate protocols and message formats, task synchronization, different types of access to third-party platforms and more.)
“eSIM technology and the GSMA SGP.32 spec fundamentally change how smart meters are provisioned, managed and secured,” explained Jose Sanchez, Senior Director of Product Management, IoT Connectivity and Services at Telit Cinterion. “Our partnership with Netinium truly takes those foundational elements to the next level by layering on a comprehensive suite of capabilities that directly address the top challenges to smart grid deployment and operation.”
"Innovators seek out other innovators, which makes Telit Cinterion an ideal partner,” added Ferry Cserep, Netinium’s CEO. “Telit Cinterion's NExT eSIM provisioning service offers the ultimate in flexibility throughout the smart meter lifecycle. Integrating it into our HES provides our customers with industry-leading simplicity and security."
