Vodafone Business and América Móvil Announce Internet of Things Partnership
October 29 2019 - 8:00AM
Vodafone Business and América Móvil, two of the world's leading
Internet of Things (IoT) service providers, announced today an IoT
partnership, that makes it easier than ever for customers to
connect devices globally.
The agreement will make it simpler and more efficient for IoT
customers of both companies to deploy international IoT solutions
by combining their respective IoT platforms and their expertise in
IoT connectivity and services. It means Vodafone Business customers
will be able to connect IoT devices across Latin America; and
América Móvil IoT clients will have access to one of the largest
global networks via Vodafone.
The combination of the two companies’ capabilities will help
customers increase the pace of digitalisation by simplifying access
to the global opportunities that IoT brings. Customers will also be
able to rely on the local knowledge and expertise of each partner
to comply with local regulations.
“We are proud to be partnering with América Móvil,” said Vinod
Kumar, CEO, Vodafone Business. “With this agreement we further
extend our IoT global footprint by partnering with one of Latin
America’s strongest players. América Móvil´s coverage and expertise
across Latin America will help us support our global customers in a
part of the world where we have seen a surge in IoT adoption.”
"In América Móvil we believe in win-win partnerships that
benefit our customers. We are excited about the partnership with
Vodafone Business that provides our joint customers with the best
user experience of two leading technology providers," said Marco
Quatorze, América Móvil Value Added Service's Director.
According to the Vodafone Business IoT Barometer the number of
companies using IoT globally has grown to over a third (34%) and
95% of adopters worldwide have seen measurable benefits from their
IoT projects. A recent IDC study forecasts that the Latin
America region will see the fastest IoT spending growth.
Vodafone is one of the world’s largest telecommunications
companies and is recognised as a global leader in IoT by top tier
industry analyst firms. Vodafone's IoT platform today connects more
than 88.9 million devices worldwide. IoT services help customers
operate more efficiently, save energy and reduce their GHG
emissions. In 2018, Vodafone’s customers saved 2.9 tonnes of CO2e
(carbon dioxide equivalent) for every tonne it generated in its own
operations.
América Móvil is one of the largest integrated
telecommunications services to provide value added services and
enhanced communications solutions to 362 million access lines in 25
countries in Americas and Europe.
