Telit Cinterion IoT modules featuring Thales Instant Connect can be remotely activated for cellular connectivity at the time of device installation or during field operation. This streamlines IoT deployments by simplifying the supply chain, device installation and maintenance, and helps keep IoT devices connected anywhere, at all times. Aidon, a leader in smart metering solutions, is the first to benefit from this partnership and solution, implementing the initial connectivity and IoT modules from a single provider, Telit Cinterion.
By integrating Thales technology into Telit Cinterion modules, businesses can instantly enjoy connectivity activation right out of the box, regardless of the distribution of available mobile networks. The collaboration between the two companies on this innovative solution allows them to have their connected IoT products on the market quickly, allowing them to reap the benefits of the digital transformation that is at the heart of the promise of IoT.

The way the solution works is that, at the end of device production or when deployed in practice, the Telit Cinterion module uses the initial connectivity provided by Thales Instant Connect to offload the desired local connectivity from selected network operators by the IoT service provider. This allows device manufacturers and service providers to postpone selecting a connectivity provider until after the device is manufactured and throughout the deployment process. It can also be used during operation in practice, allowing deployed devices to stay connected during unexpected cellular network outages. This flexibility is especially beneficial in situations where devices are deployed in different regions or countries, as it allows for seamless integration with local network operators.
