Deutsche Telekom and Digi International collaborate on M2M
Digi will integrate Deutsche Telekom’s industrial-grade SIM cards into its wireless gateways and routers and integrate DT’s M2M SIM management functionalities into the iDigi Device Cloud.
Deutsche Telekom offers special M2M Form Factor (MFF) SIM chips, designed for the purpose of reliable usage under extreme weather and temperature conditions, and Digi is the first gateway and router manufacturer to integrate these into M2M modules. As the chips are soldered into place, the possibility of a plastic SIM becoming loose from vibration in transit or while deployed is eliminated. Extreme heat or cold temperatures will not damage the chip, and chips are safely protected against moisture.
To further their collaboration, the SIM management functionalities of Deutsche Telekom’s M2M Service Portal are being integrated into the iDigi Device Cloud, allowing customers to manage their devices and SIM cards in one central location.
"We believe that with Digi’s unique wireless gateways and Deutsche Telekom’s MFF SIMs specifically designed for industrial usage, customers get the most reliable service on the market," said Jürgen Hase, head of Deutsche Telekom’s M2M Competence Center. "With the implementation of our M2M Service Portal into the iDigi Cloud there is also full access to all necessary registration and maintenance in one place, ensuring a convenient user experience."
"Deutsche Telekom has an established presence in the M2M market in Europe, and we are pleased to collaborate to make it easier for customers to connect to and manage their remote assets," said Frederic Luu, vice president of Asia and EMEA sales and marketing, Digi International. "Integrating the Deutsche Telekom M2M Service portal into the iDigi Device Cloud is a foundational step that will open new opportunities throughout Europe."
Digi’s M2M solutions are used in numerous applications, such as connecting and monitoring remote assets like storage tanks, vehicle fleets, solar power arrays and other remote devices where rough weather, movement, vibrations and extreme temperatures can interfere with the optimal functionality of integrated SIM cards.
