The Kudelski Group (SIX: KUD.S), the world leader in digital security,
and Sequans Communications (NYSE: SQNS), the leading provider of LTE for
IoT semiconductor solutions, today announced that they have created a
secure connectivity solution for LTE-M and NB-IoT devices. When combined
with a SIM card or eSIM personalized with the Kudelski Root of Trust,
the joint solution provides robust device identity and protects the
device, data, decisions, commands and actions in ultra-small and
power-efficient connected devices.
By combining Sequans’s LTE-M/NB-IoT chips with Kudelski’s security
solution, the companies will securely connect millions of industrial,
medical, consumer, and automotive devices to the customer’s cloud
platform of choice. The Kudelski/Sequans integration removes barriers to
entry and shortens time to market for device manufacturers by providing
a single-chip solution pre-integrated with security and connectivity,
protecting the entire security lifecycle of the device.
Jean-Michel Puiatti, Kudelski Group Senior Vice President for IoT
Security: “With ABI Research predicting 6.3 billion IoT devices to be
cellularly connected by 2021, telco network operators need to onboard
them in a way that is secure, scalable and sustainable. Our work with
Sequans will combine their smart connectivity with our proven security
technology to enable operators to onboard IoT devices quickly and
easily. This creates greater efficiency and gives them the security
required to protect the network and enable exciting new customer
business models.”
Hugues Waldburger, Sequans Vice President, Vertical and Strategic
Business Unit: “The Kudelski IoT Security Platform is a comprehensive
solution that provides powerful security features to a wide range of IoT
