Relevance of IoT solutions in the automotive industry

The shift to connected car services brings unique demands for automotive players. Engineers need detailed engine performance data, marketers seek insights into consumer behavior, and vehicle manufacturers must consistently deliver new services and updates.

Navigation providers analyze data from thousands of vehicles to offer real-time congestion alerts, while end users - who now view their vehicles as extensions of their digital lives - expect seamless connectivity, personalized services, and enhanced safety features like automated emergency calls (eCall).

Navigating telecom and eCall regulations

Connected car solutions must also navigate complex, country-specific telecom and eCall regulations. To simplify the management of connectivity across a vehicle’s lifecycle, the GSMA’s global SGP.32 standard for remote SIM provisioning offers a scalable and efficient solution for international IoT deployments.

G+D powers scalable solutions for future-ready vehicle connectivity

We address all these standards and challenges with scalable solutions, including independent eSIMs for both vehicle and driver via Dual-SIM Dual-Active (DSDA) technology, and the capabilities of 5G. Together, these solutions enable robust, secure, and future-ready connected experiences that serve both consumer needs and industry demands.

Leading standards for automotive cybersecurity

Additionally, cybersecurity in the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly important.The automotive industry has therefore introduced the ISO/SAE 21434 ‘Road vehicles - Cybersecurity engineering’ certification, defining comparable security criteria for all suppliers. G+D is proud to be among the first companies to meet this standard for embedded (eUICC) products.

With our Cyber Security Management System (CSMS), we also meet the strict requirements of ISO/SAE 21434 and the audit guidelines of ISO PAS 5112. G+D is one of the first companies in the world to have successfully passed the ENX VCS audit, ensuring the security of vehicles and components as well as effective risk management. G+D also complies with numerous other industry and general standards, including the IATF 16949, which unifies essential quality management requirements for the automotive sector.

In-Factory Profile Provisioning: Ready-to-Go connectivity for automotive

Infographic about the in-factory profile provisining production process with G+D's AirOn360 in-factory eSIM

In-Factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP) streamlines the connectivity process by embedding eSIM profiles from network providers during vehicle manufacturing. This ensures that cars leave the factory ready for global communication and telematics, eliminating the need for additional setup or manual configurations later. 

By leveraging eSIM and Remote SIM Provisioning, IFPP enhances security, speeds up production, and allows automotive manufacturers to deliver connected vehicles that are equipped for immediate, secure, and seamless global operation. G+D enables this process with its AirOn360® platform, supporting comprehensive and scalable eSIM integration across diverse automotive needs.
