"We believe our new approach will also offer significant advantages to MNO partners including, but not limited to, new market opportunities for services, minimal impact on existing business processes, cost savings on SIMs and logistics while maintaining the highest level of security and are working with some early adopters to fully leverage these.
"Following the recently announced Telit simWISE offering, this new solution will further target the coming wave of NB-IoT and Low Cat devices enabling a global IoT centric subscription management service, reduce total cost of ownership for end-customers and improve time-to-market for IoT developers."
Didier Lamouche, CEO of OT-Morpho said:
"OT-Morpho and Telit see the massive opportunity represented by the IoT market and believe that as key ecosystem players they have a vital role to fulfill in helping MNOs and enterprises roll out their IoT strategies.
