Anil Ambani-controlled Reliance Communications (RCom) on Thursday said it is entering into a partnership with global Internet of Things (IoT) platform leader Jasper to enable enterprises throughout India to launch, manage and monetise next-generation IoT businesses.
RCom is Jasper’s sole telecom partner in India, the company said.
This partnership pairs the capabilities of RCom’s 11 data centre facilities and its Global Cloud Exchange to capitalise on the IoT services, it added.
“Businesses throughout India — as well as India’s own infrastructure and services—are undergoing a massive transformation. Reliable networks, innovative Cloud computing and scalable IoT platforms are critical to enable this revolution,” said RCom’s chief executive Bill Barney.
Under the partnership, Reliance group companies will be the anchor client for the IoT rollout in India.
The companies are also in discussions with multiple clients and states for the development of the platform.
