Vodafone’s internet of things world takes shape from Ireland
It recently emerged that Vodafone has partnered with enterprise mobility firm Asavie to allow Irish-based companies to access IoT Express, a scalable and secure SIM-based IoT connectivity over narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) networks.
Vodafone IoT Express unlocks enterprise-grade IoT tools for everyone and is compatible with as little as one SIM. It is suitable for both large businesses starting a new trial or a smaller company beginning to develop their IoT capabilities with small investment.
“Vodafone IoT Express is an example of how Asavie is working with a global leading mobile network operator to allow enterprises of all sizes to immediately deploy and scale their IoT projects,” said Ralph Shaw, CEO of Asavie.
“By securely managing network connections from the edge to the cloud, and eliminating the typical delays in deployment and revenue generation, enterprises can immediately benefit from the IoT economy.”
The telecoms giant has also partnered with Dublin-based Wia, a previous Siliconrepublic.com Start-up of the Week, to deploy the Wia platform. This will enable developers and companies to rapidly build prototypes and get their solutions into production quicker.
