Flaircomm selects Gemalto to provide secure M2M solution for car manufacturers in China
09 June 2014 - 11:00AM
Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital
security announces that Flaircomm Microelectronics Inc., a
high-tech company developing devices for the automotive industry,
is integrating Gemalto's M2M solution in their telematics control
unit (T-Box). The solution designed for car manufacturers in China
includes the Cinterion® MIM and integrates smoothly with in-car
cellular networks.
The T-box is ruggedized for extreme conditions including high
temperatures, pressures and vibrations. It can inform the driver of
the car conditions such as oil pressure, car speed, and engine
status, as well as providing information on nearest amenities like
petrol stations and convenience stores. If the car breaks down or
is involved in an accident, an emergency call (eCall) will also be
triggered automatically for assistance and medical help.
"According to Strategy Analysts, the connected car market in
China could exceed RMB 200 billion (€23.5 billion) by 2020,"said
Luke Shi, Chairman of Flaircomm Microelectronics Inc. "Working with
Gemalto puts us in a good position to address that mega-trend. We
have also passed the joint debugging test carried out by ten
European operators, and so we have become a key player in the
automotive industry for both domestic and international
markets."
"Gemalto already has a significant M2M footprint in China,
offering M2M solutions to leading providers," added Michael Wallon,
Vice President of M2M Sales for Asia Pacific at Gemalto. "We are
fully committed to meeting Flaircomm's current and future needs,
with a complete M2M offering that can include Cinterion® modules
and secure personalization after the MIM has been deployed. For our
customers, this means simplified cross-border movement of M2M
devices and unparalleled flexibility in instantly bringing on board
international network partners."
