Saudi Telecom Company (STC) werkt samen met OT (Oberthur Technologies) en Huawei aan nieuwe oplossingen met eSIM-technologie
COLOMBES, Frankrijk–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Saudi Telecom Company (STC), de grootste ict-dienstverlener van het Midden-Oosten en Noord-Afrika, OT (Oberthur Technologies), een internationale leverancier van ingebouwde beveiligingstechnologie, en Huawei, een toonaangevende ict-systeemleverancier, zijn een samenwerking aangegaan voor de introductie van oplossingen voor abonnementsmanagement op afstand en nieuwe kansen rond eSIM-technologie in het Midden-Oosten en Noord-Afrika.
STC kondigt in dat kader met trots de eerste proef in de regio aan met eSIM die gebruikmaakt van het volgens GSMA-standaarden werkende managementplatform van OT en de smartwatch van Huawei. De eSIM-technologie stelt gebruikers in staat eenvoudig en gemakkelijk profielen ‘over-the-air’ te bestellen, te installeren en te activeren, wat een einde maakt aan lange wachttijden in de rij in een winkel. Het levert nog een voordeel op: gebruikers van een smartwatch kunnen oproepen doen met hun horloge, zelfs als hun telefoon offline is.
