Chatsworth, California and London, United Kingdom. Kigen and Monogoto launched the iSIM Evaluation Kit to test the efficiency of utilizing emerging iSIM technology in connected devices. iSIMs (integrated SIM) are integrated directly into modems eliminating friction caused by physical SIM cards. iSIMs eliminate the need for a physical SIM, simplifying the supply chain.

For cellular IoT to scale faster across all verticals, more needs to be done in relationships across both the semiconductor and cellular ecosystems to simplify the cellular device supply chain while maintaining high-security requirements. With this shared objective, we at Kigen are working with AT&T to bring down barriers, enabling the integrated SIM (iSIM) form factor and much more.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re joined by Liron Ben Horin, VP of Systems Engineering at OneLayer, to discuss the security vulnerabilities affecting devices connected through 5G and LTE in manufacturing environments, and how OneLayer, a company providing enterprise-grade security to private LTE/5G networks, can help.

The electricity market has traditionally been centralized and controlled by grid operators who deliver fixed amounts of energy based on historical local demand. But as the world moves to counteract climate change using renewable energy, those fixed, centralized policies will no longer be sufficient.

The solution leverages the smaller size, lower cost, and increased efficiency associated with iSIM technology, combined with an advanced LPWA chipset for NB-IoT, CAT-M, and local breakouts — all contributing to improving latency and extending battery life.

AT&T and Kigen are working together to help customers streamline their supply chains and reduce the time to market for enterprises who want to leverage SIM, embedded SIM (eSIM), and integrated SIM (iSIM) secured connectivity deep in their IoT devices.
