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.”

CCM Biosciences Announces Presentation of Data on its First-In-Class AML Drug Program at ASCO 202520.5.2025 23:30:00 EEST | Press release
CCM Biosciences, a diversified pharmaceutical discovery and development company, today announced the upcoming presentation of its next-generation FLT3 inhibitor drug program for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at the 2025 Annual Conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), taking place May 30 to June 3 in Chicago. Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most severe form of leukemia with few treatment options, and a malignancy frequently driven by mutations in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene. The FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations, particularly D835 and F691, appear in approximately 30% of AML patients, often leading to poor prognosis and resistance to existing therapies. Gilteritinib (Xospata®; Astellas Pharma, peak annual sales projection: $1.5 billion) and Quizartinib (Vanflyta®; Daiichi Sankyo) are two FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitors, with the former approved only for relapsed/refractory AML and the latter approved o

CCM Biosciences Announces Presentation of Data on its First-In-Class NSCLC Drug Program at ASCO 202520.5.2025 22:26:00 EEST | Press release
CCM Biosciences, a diversified pharmaceutical discovery and development company, today announced the upcoming presentation of its 4th-generation EGFR inhibitor drug program for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the 2025 Annual Conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), taking place May 30 to June 3 in Chicago. NSCLC, which accounts for 80% of lung cancer, is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations (Del19 or L858R) are major oncogenic drivers of NSCLC. EGFR-positive NSCLC accounts for approximately 30% of all diagnosed cases of NSCLC (a similar market size to PD-L1-positive NSCLC, which is addressed by the world’s top-selling drug, Keytruda®). The current standard of care for EGFR-positive NSCLC is comprised of 3rd-generation inhibitors, most notably Osimertinib (Tagrisso®), whose annual sales exceed $6 billion. Most patients treated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) will eventually develop
