Colombes, France, Feb. 24, 2016: Oberthur Technologies (OT), a global provider of embedded security software products, services and solutions, today announced its collaboration with Etisalat Misr, a leading telecommunications service provider, to launch M2M and IoT services. Relying on OT’s M-Sense solution, a cutting edge software platform enabling fast service deployment, Etisalat Misr will enable its Enterprise customers to quickly launch new M2M and IoT services.
This partnership is an outcome of the Frame Agreement signed between OT and Etisalat Group (Abu Dhabi) in July 2015. The project aims to deliver a tailored and modular solution enabling selected local ecosystem partners to leverage the platform’s ready-made components and use existing application frameworks. These components include sensor data visualization, reporting, business rules and off-the-shelf applications in order to further build customized applications.
OT’s reactivity to develop and propose a scalable commercial configuration has been a critical element in Etisalat’s decision. Indeed, the full platform serving the initial priority projects and selected IoT Services will be available in a short timeframe.
Etisalat Misr has selected OT’s M-Sense platform, powered by Cumulocity, the leading software provider of IoT application enablement and device management (source: MachNation December 2015 IoT Report), for its set of horizontal capabilities for both application enablement and device management. M-Sense allows easy and fast device integration over any network. It secures collection, visualization and real time management of various IoT data from any M2M device and controls remotely connected enterprise assets in real time. OT’s M-Sense solution will enable Etisalat to accelerate the deployment of vertical applications, whether they are for Smart Cities, Universities or enterprises operating in the Transport, Oil and Energy or Real Estate sectors, to name but a few.
