Teal announced that they have signed a wholesale agreement with T-Mobile. Teal plans to offer enterprises across America direct access to T-Mobile’s network.
“At Teal, we want to make it easy to connect any compatible IoT device onto T-Mobile’s network, and we believe that businesses should have access to the experience that T-Mobile is creating,” says Robby Hamblet, co-founder and CEO of Teal.
Teal is the US-built, wholly owned eUICC platform to be certified with the GSMA. Teal’s relationship with T-Mobile simplifies how companies can connect their IoT devices onto T-Mobile’s advanced 4G LTE (long-term evolution) and 5G network nationwide. Customers can now install a T-Mobile credential into their IoT devices, much like an application or app on a smartphone.
“T-Mobile’s vision for the future includes eSIM (embedded subscriber identity module) technology such that when companies work with Teal, they get the same experience as if they had a T-Mobile SIM in their device. This can translate into superior performance compared to when they are roaming or passing traffic through data centres that aren’t operated by T-Mobile,” says Dan Thygesen, senior vice president of T-Mobile wholesale and head of T-Mobile’s growing wholesale business.
Teal is like the app store for downloading network credentials. Teal is simplifying how IoT devices connect to T-Mobile’s network, offering credentialing-as-a-service (CaaS), meaning that enterprises get the flexibility to control what networks their IoT devices are connected to. With Teal, any compatible cellular IoT device can connect directly onto T-Mobile, over the air.
The world of IoT has proliferated into almost all industries, including robotics, mobility and transportation, healthcare, defense and military, oil and gas, and retailers. Delivering the same end-user experience as having a T-Mobile SIM card installed into an IoT device can translate into lower latency, higher availability, and higher redundancy than consumer networks, mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) solutions, and off-the-shelf SIMS.
