Gemalto-enabled telematics device is racecar tested and approved
Installed
in a Porsche Cayman GT4 racecar, the Gemalto-enabled
GlobalmatiX xTCU device
was put to the test at Nürburgring
racecourse, excelling under extreme conditions of heat, vibration and
speeds of up to 280 km/h. After six continuous hours at full throttle,
the solution earned the checkered flag for flawless performance and
reliability, sending real time diagnostic data from 40 different vehicle
sensors to the race team. Mechanics were able to monitor critical
performance indicators for tire pressure, oil temperature, fuel level
and speed throughout the entire race. Thanks to immediate visibility of
issues after a minor crash, mechanics were able to organize the
necessary parts and manage split second repairs before the car even made
it back to the pit.
IoT telematics in the fast lane
Not just designed for high
performance racecars, the GlobalmatiX xTCU can connect and monitor any
car or truck in real time. The solution is ideal for a variety of
applications including: pay-per-mile car insurance policies, fleet
management solutions, vehicle tracking applications, driver safety
systems, predictive maintenance and onboard infotainment. Increasing
demand for smart car features is driving estimated global telematics
market growth at a CAGR of 28.5% (2017-2022) leading to global revenue
of USD 233.24 billion by 2022.1
How the GlobalmatiX solution works
The xTCU collects data
from sensors embedded in vehicles then uses the Gemalto eSIM and
Cinterion IoT Wireless Module to encrypt data and securely connect over
cellular 4G/LTE networks to the GlobalmatiX cloud backend system.
Analytics applications transform data into actionable intelligence that
improves vehicle performance, driver safety and convenience. The Gemalto
solution also manages secure over-the-air (OTA) service provisioning
that allows the xTCU to connect vehicles over any global mobile network
without a service visit or eSIM update. It is planned to extend the
collaboration to 5G.
“The success of the GlobalmatiX-Box at Nürburgring shows the benefit of tight collaboration between our company and Gemalto in delivering a cost effective, high performance global telematics solution especially for North America and Europe,” said Dr. Wolfgang Trier, CEO of Softing AG. “GlobalmatiX’s unique approach to design simplifies development and deployment for global OEMs who receive an end-to-end solution for any vehicle or brand that includes connectivity service. Gemalto’s connectivity solution is critical to our success delivering reliable global cellular service.”
“Car fleets are the next ‘must have’ connected assets in IoT and the GlobalmatiX-Box is the ideal platform for OEMs to pre-integrate or retrofit powerful onboard telematics solutions across mixed fleets of connected vehicles,” said Andreas Haegele, SVP IoT Products, Gemalto. “The combination of Cinterion IoT modules and Gemalto eSIMs provide a sturdy foundation for secure connectivity and lifecycle management that extends durability, reliability and flexibility.”

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those
