The Transatel’s SIM 901: the solution to secure IoT
May 2017 by Marc Jacob
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the new telecom revolution. The number of connected things is expected to reach 50 billion by 2020, using a large range of connectivity options.
But this current enthusiasm for connecting objects hasn’t brought about a corresponding concern for security issues. It’s even more surprising given that massive cyber-attacks are taking place in digital world, with critical consequences such as theft, loss of privacy or ransom. These consequences may also be more serious especially if a car or a plane, for example, are hacked and then became out of control.
To the extent that every IoT program today should have security as a priority, Transatel has chosen to explore solutions to identify - and thereby, secure - a device through strong authentication and to protect data transmission via a Secure Private Network.
Thus, with the SIM 901, Transatel proposes today one of the rare solutions to offer true end-to-end security for the IoT allowing both authentication and global network management.
