Singtel has inked two partnership agreements as part of efforts to boost its deployment and provision of Internet of Things (IoT) services. The Singapore telco has teamed up with China Mobile International to drive the adoption of their IoT devices amongst their respective enterprise clientele, while Singtel’s collaboration with Microsoft will see the carrier launch an IoT network–powered by artificial intelligence (AI)–over the Azure cloud platform.
Singtel said its Master Services Agreement with the Chinese telco would enable both their business customers to roll out IoT devices installed in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and cars in China and Singapore. China Mobile also would tap Singtel’s network to deploy its narrowband IoT products and services in Singapore, said Singtel on Tuesday.
