Indian conglomerate Reliance Group, parent company of Reliance Communications (RCom), has teamed up with Cisco Jasper to launch a new dedicated IoT venture in the market.
The new venture, UNLIMIT, will provide enterprise customers throughout India with a service that combines the RCom mobile network with Cisco Jasper’s IoT connectivity management platform.
As part of the partnership, Cisco will also improve its IoT engineering talent base in India by hiring more expert staff for its Cisco Innovation Center in Bangalore.
Indian customers seeking to expand their IoT services to new overseas markets will be able to take advantage of Cisco Jasper’s partnerships with operator groups representing more than 120 mobile networks worldwide.
The new service is also expected to play a key role in supporting the government’s Digital India project, which aims to transform 100 cities across the nation into smart cities.
“IoT is a critical enabler for India’s growth, and businesses throughout the country are already utilizing its huge potential to help deliver innovative new services to their customers, while reducing cost and increasing revenue,” commented Juergen Hase, CEO of Reliance Group’s Unlimit IoT business group.
“We are delighted to partner with Cisco Jasper, and this strategic partnership will strengthen the market position of UNLIMIT significantly.”
