ODS2 – Proud BSS Partner in KPN’s End-to-End Wallet Ecosystem

In close collaboration with Ubiqu, the Identity Wallet Technology Provider, ODS2 delivers a full-scale, end-to-end Managed Wallet Ecosystem to support KPN’s Digital Identity and Trust Services division.

Paving the Way for the Future of Digital Identity

KPN and ODS2 are currently in the co-creation phase, combining strengths, technologies, and expertise to innovate and refine the digital identity wallet. Even at this early stage, it’s evident that the wallet has the potential for transformative impact—unlocking benefits that extend beyond current expectations.

Addressing the Challenge

The upcoming eIDAS 2.0 regulation establishes a secure and trustworthy framework for digital identity across Europe. Central to this framework is the role of Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs)—organizations authorized to deliver certified trust services that safeguard digital identities.

To earn QTSP status, organizations must pass rigorous, independent assessments by accredited institutions and be listed on the official European Union Trusted List. As a recognized QTSP, KPN is committed to the highest standards of security and compliance. For this reason, KPN sought a trusted and experienced partner to co-develop its digital identity ecosystem.

The Role of ODS2

As the Business Support System (BSS) provider, ODS2 is a vital component of KPN’s Identity Wallet ecosystem. The ODS2 BSS serves as the operational backbone—seamlessly connecting KPN as the QTSP, Ubiqu as the technology supplier, and end users.

The Solution: A Seamless, Scalable, and Secure Ecosystem

Together, ODS2, Ubiqu, and KPN have co-created a fully managed, end-to-end digital identity wallet platform. This collaboration is a true example of co-creation, with all parties working closely to refine features, strengthen security, and enhance functionality.

Thanks to ODS2’s robust BSS, KPN can manage a wide range of identity wallets—including EUDI-compliant wallets—supported by advanced CRM capabilities, end-to-end billing, and real-time reporting.
