Soracom demonstrates integrated SIM for IoT Japanese IoT connectivity technology developer Soracom has demonstrated integrated SIM (iSIM) for various categories of IoT device. This results from a joint effort with cellular IoT chipset provider Sony Semiconductor Israel, and security firm Kigen for authentication of the devices. The iSIM combines the network connectivity and authentication of device identity in a single system-on-chip (SoC), reducing circuit board footprint, complexity, manufacturing cost and power consumption, while increasing processing capacity. In this proof of concept, a hardware-secured area was established within Sony’s Altair ALT1250 cellular IoT chipset and a unique Soracom carrier profile was then provisioned over the Kigen iSIM operating system. This generated Soracom’s unique key information, secure loading of the carrier profile information onto the…
