Eurobites: Vodafone Hooks Up With ARM on IoT | Light Reading
Vodafone has used this week’s Mobile World Congress to expand on its existing relationship with chipmaker ARM, reaching an agreement that the pair hope will provide enterprises targeting the Internet of Things market with a programmable, connected system on chip designs that do away with the need for traditional SIM cards. The partnership, combining ARM’s Kigen iSIM chip design with Vodafone’s global IoT network, will, says Vodafone, allow for remote provisioning for devices using NB-IoT and LTE-M technologies.
Also teaming up are Dublin-based Openet and Samsung Electronics: The Irish BSS vendor will supply the South Korean giant with its policy and charging platform as part of an “ecosystem” of 5G packet core products.
