Ensuring trustworthiness of mobile networks by securing communication and privacy of subscriber identities
Mobile communication is an integral part of everyday life. Both the number of mobile network subscribers and the number of devices per subscriber continue to steadily increase. Given the widespread adoption of smart, connected devices across a number of sectors, including the automotive, manufacturing, and energy and utilities industries, this development applies not only to personal use but also to economic use cases.
These use cases are mostly running via 5G, which is the technology standard for broadband cellular networks and has technical advantages such as higher speed and bandwidth as well as reduced latency. Of course, it is important for all participants that IoT communication is secure and that no data can be intercepted.
Utimaco provides specialized, FIPS-certified hardware security modules which empower secure communications in a trusted mobile network that comply with requirements defined by 3GPP.
