Kigen, a United Kingdom headquartered company working in the security for cellular IoT sector, has announced it had crossed a major milestone – tha of having enabled 2 billion SIMs in the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and has new state-of-the-art eSIM and integrated SIM (iSIM) deployments with leading chipset providers, module vendors and network operators.
Making the announcement from its Webiste, the IoT company said as an independent but wholly-owned subsidiary of Arm, Kigen will focus on “addressing device-maker demand for greater choice in affordable security for trusted IoT devices.”
Kigen, after incubating within Arm, has a well-established ecosystem with mature partners and has now added several new customers, including Alif Semiconductor, KORE, Qualcomm Technologies and Sequans Communications.
By using Kigen technology to virtualize SIMs on-chip, companies can create efficiencies and performance gains in how their IoT devices are produced, auto-provisioned and managed in the real-world.
Through its secure SIM operating system (OS), data generation and professional services, Kigen is driving:
- A standardized path to secure products for device-makers: Hardware and device makers can leverage Kigen’s SIM OS for chipsets and modules, diversifying manufacturing and leveraging interoperable chip-to-cloud solutions.
- Highly flexible eSIM services for SIM vendors and connectivity providers: To balance the power, total cost of ownership and defence-in-depth requirements, Kigen’s range of eSIM OS, Remote SIM provisioning (RSP) solutions and data generation services provide the flexibility fast-moving SIM manufacturers and IoT Service Providers require.
- Ultimate security with iSIM for power-efficient IoT: Kigen’s iSIM OS extends the same small code-size and power efficiency advantages from most constrained to the efficient edge; critical to meeting the requirements of fast scaling IoT markets.
