Thales Cloud OTA

Remotely and securely manage SIMs and eSIMs for seamless connectivity and services

The mobile ecosystem is changing and becoming ever more open and connected, with the number of devices in circulation booming.

Mobile network operators (MNOs) need to update over-the-air (OTA) SIM, eSIM, and secure elements across all networks, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G, to guarantee the best user experience and enable the 5G diverse use cases such as connected cars, IoT (internet of things), private networks or smart cities.

Thales Cloud OTA is designed for optimum efficiency and the best MNO experience across all networks and channels (SMS, HTTP, NAS).

It is built on open standards and is fully interoperable.

Our market leader solution addresses numerous use cases such as mission-critical SIM activation, network selection, roaming, IoT, dedicated networks for rail (GSM-R), or public safety.

Scalable and future-proof, Thales Cloud OTA offers a unique framework for flexible deployments and service evolution.

Available as a service

With Thales Cloud OTA in SaaS mode, you can grasp the full benefits of cloud computing:

• It enables innovation with unrestricted access to cutting-edge technologies and capabilities at an affordable cost.
• It reduces time-to-market as deploying applications is cheaper and faster.
• It is fully scalable and can address business variations of any magnitude, allowing you to adjust computing resources to your business needs quickly.
• It allows you to save: building a proprietary IT infrastructure and staffing it is expensive, and you may not use it to its total capacity, focus on your core business, and pay only for what you use.

Get ready for 5G

On 5G networks, Thales Cloud OTA:

• Protects the user identity by encrypting credentials
• Enables immediate steering of the subscriber on the preferred network and prevents anti-steering
• Enhances 5G Multi-IMSI privacy
• Protects your network against security breaches with key rotation 
• Remotely upgrades the UICC operating system according to the latest standards
• Remotely and dynamically manages device application access points

Choice of environments to match your needs

In SaaS mode, MNOs can fully benefit from cloud scalability and elasticity, enjoy smooth updates and an up-to-date environment, enhanced security and disaster recovery, and costs matching resource use.

For MNOs who are considering network functions virtualization (NFV), Thales Cloud OTA can include a VNFM (virtual network function manager) for integration with an NFVO (NFV orchestrator) and elasticity at NFVI (NFV infrastructure) level. 

Elevating network management to the cloud horizon

In the rapidly advancing mobile landscape, Thales Cloud OTA provides MNOs with a seamless, secure, and efficient means to manage the ever-growing constellation of SIMs and eSIMs.

As you embrace the 5G revolution, our comprehensive OTA solutions ensure your network is robust, your services are agile, and your connectivity is uninterrupted, enabling many use cases from IoT to smart cities.

Thales Cloud OTA is a scalable, open-standard platform offering flexibility and a future-proof framework for your evolving deployment and service needs.

Transition to the cloud with confidence and cost-efficiency, and let Thales Cloud OTA propel you into the new era of 5G readiness and beyond.

Complementary solutions for MNOs 

Thales Device Manager removes the complexities of managing a large variety of devices on mobile networks. It provides powerful and cost-effective features for automatic device detection, identification, configuration, analysis and network access control.

Thales IoT SAFE helps ensure the device and server connect to a legitimate counterpart and secure the data exchange. 

Thales Radio Policy Management (RPM) allows controlling the behaviour of IoT devices that behave erratically or try to connect with no valid subscription, hence preserving the MNO network resources. RPM will enable MNOs to serve the maximum number of devices while minimizing network investments.
