The Ambiq TSM is a highly scalable Trusted Service Management (TSM) platform designed to meet the needs of anyone desiring to remotely manage secure devices and applications. The Ambiq TSM can be extended to devices that contain Java Card–based secure elements and are compliant with the GlobalPlatform specification.

The Ambiq TSM is deployed as a managed service, running in an Ambiq data center. Devices managed by the Ambiq TSM connect to the service through connections such as TCP/IP or SMS provided by their host environment, the mobile phone.

The Ambiq TSM is primarily designed for transportation and retail payment solutions, while implementing end-to-end security for communicating with the secure elements to ensure the maximum possible security for all sensitive data.

The Ambiq TSM is designed and developed with well-known design patterns to deliver optimum performance while keeping necessary provisions for vertical and horizontal scalability. The Ambiq TSM can be deployed as a multi-tenant service, in order to accommodate different business entities, in a single instance and is carefully architected to comply with appropriate industry standards and certification requirements such as PCI DSS, MasterCard TSM and etc.

The Ambiq TSM device and application management platform is fully compliant with GlobalPlatform standards which are widely accepted as the secure communication framework to manage secure elements.
