KORE and Able Device Announce Agreement to Deploy Enterprise Customer Pilots for SIMbae™
KORE,
the people powering the Internet-of-Things (IoT) innovations and
opportunities, and Able
Device, a pioneer in SIM-based IoT and M2M application technology,
today announced an agreement to deploy enterprise customer pilots that
embed Able Device's (News - Alert) flagship offering, SIMbae, on KORE IoT SIMs
(Subscriber Identity Modules). SIMbae, a new and innovative SIM-based
solution utilizes established 3GPP standards and provides valuable tools
on KORE SIMs to solve common IoT device deployment issues related to
network connectivity, commercial and service requirements, and data
roaming.
"Large scale deployments of IoT services, particularly global services,
must be driven with greater ease and reliability of roll out," said Alex
Brisbourne, KORE CEO. "The goal is to move as close as possible to plug
and play deliveries as well as simplified, automated, service
connectivity around the globe. A perfect complement to our subscription
management/eSIM solutions which already have over 1.2m connections
depending upon it, integrating SIMBae provides a further level of
automated service assurance," concluded Brisbourne.
With deployments beginning in March 2017, customer pilots will initially
center around three IoT use cases:
-
The first case focuses on troubleshooting an IoT device that is not
reporting into the server. In this scenario, SIMbae reports
mobile-specific network information such as signal strength,
neighboring cells, and other key metrics to determine the connectivity
issue.
-
A second case addresses an IoT device roaming onto a network that
doesn't meet commercial or service requirements and is then resolved
through implementing SIMbae's Dynamic PLMN Manager.
-
The third scenario deployed during the pilots will utilize SIMbae's
Packet Data Reporter to change networks when a device roams onto a
network that doesn't support data roaming. Additionally, by embedding
these tools on KORE's SIMs and utilizing 3GPP standards, a consistent
high level of application and communications security is achieved.
"We're extremely excited to enter into real world, enterprise commercial
pilots with KORE as they were the first service provider we approached
when SIMbae was conceived," stated Roger Dewey (News - Alert), CEO and Founder of Able
Device. "The reason for this was KORE's strong vision and early
leadership in offering the enterprise market high value services to
deploy IoT projects in a very flexiblemodel." He continued by saying,
"Able Device and KORE share a philosophy centered on ease of
development, deployment, security, and operation for mobile IoT
applications. The standard SIM is the perfect vehicle for realizing that
vision on a mass scale, but the SIM is not enough as it needs to be
coupled with enterprise centric services."

these new and innovative SIM-based tools and how can they can simplify
and secure your IoT deployments, contact Jacqueline Tait at [email protected].

About Able Device
Able Device is a provider of technology for Mobile Network Operators
(MNOs) and IoT service providers. Its flagship product SIMbae™ (short
for "SIM based application engine") enables hosting of IoT device
controls and applications on standard SIMs. In this new architecture,
the SIM is transformed to an intelligent independent processor. As
SIMbae utilizes established and common 3GPP SIM standards, IoT controls
and applications implemented this way become device and carrier agnostic
- with benefits including shorter time to market, reduced development
cost, lower operating cost, and improved security. Based in Raleigh, NC,
Able Device serves mobile network operators globally.
