Late Stage Personalization: addressing M2M industry requirements and constraints and increasing flexibility in subscription management


When the solderable embedded SIM first became available, M2M module customers wanted a similar solution that would help ease integration complexity and simplify M2M solution manufacturing while eliminating the need to manage personalized end-user products.

In response, Gemalto introduced to the M2M value chain its Late Stage Personalization (LSP) solution to tackle industrial constraints generated by embedded MIMs. LSP is a Gemalto-hosted service for the M2M market that allows remote M2M MIM card personalization after it has been integrated onto the customer’s M2M hardware or into the 3G/GSM modem unit.

  • Adapt MIM personalization to M2M market needs
  • Optimize logistics and stocks, minimze yield
