Swedish vehicle manufacturer Scania is working with German tech security group Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) and its UK-based IoT MVNO subsidiary Pod Group to develop a new connectivity platform for management of eSIMs and IoT activities in commercial vehicles. Scania already uses G+D’s eSIM solution; their new project is to “implement a fully integrated solution that supports centralized management of telecommunications networks”, they said.
They said the new platform-as-service solution will enable Scania to deploy eSIM solutions in its trucks anywhere in the world. Scania, G+D, and Pod Group are currently designing the “platform-as-service environment”, they said, to work with Pod Group’s connectivity management platform, Pod IoT Suite.
