Sequans Communications S.A. announced that the first GSMA-compliant integrated SIM (iUICC) is now Common Criteria certified and available on its second generation LTE-M/NB-IoT chip, Monarch 2. Integrated SIM, whereby the SIM is integrated directly into the chip, is virtually exempt from tampering, providing a powerful security advantage for those IoT applications in utilities, healthcare, banking, or retail, where security is of paramount importance. The availability of Monarch 2 with integrated SIM represents a much anticipated and important capability in IoT, and one that is expected to have a profound impact on enabling IoT on a massive scale. Beyond iUICC, Monarch 2 enables highly secured data ciphering and encryption leveraging the now-certified secure enclave (using the GSMA standard "IoT Safe" or other solutions). Monarch 2 with integrated SIM also enables significant advantages in reduced power consumption, size, and cost. Sequans collaborated with Tiempo Secure, a leading provider of security IP for semiconductor design companies, and Kigen, a global provider of the SIM operating system with remote SIM provisioning, to bring the full iSIM solution on its chip to market. Sequans collaborated with Tiempo who handled the certification work with CEA-LETI, where Monarch 2's CC EAL5+ Common Criteria security rating was tested and proven. Sequans and Kigen demonstrated Monarch 2's iSIM capabilities using Kigen's advanced SIM OS with key customers and operators. Sequans' Monarch 2 with integrated SIM is now sampling with select customers on tier 1 operator networks in USA and Europe.
