(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* dtac TriNet gets greater flexibility and manageability in developing and
delivering innovative machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services for
enterprises through M2M connectivity as a service from Ericsson
* dtac TriNet's enterprise customers benefit from M2M communication through
monitoring and managing their end-to-end device needs more efficiently and
with a high degree of flexibility
* Utilizing Ericsson's Device Connection Platform, dtac TriNet and its
customers are able to deploy, manage and monetize millions of M2M and
consumer electronics devices
The market for enterprise M2M solutions is growing, supported by rapid global
adoption of mobile broadband needed for wireless M2M applications. Industries
are beginning to reap the benefits of introducing M2M into their business
processes, in the form of increased efficiency and decreased operational
expenses.
To address this growing market, dtac TriNet, a subsidiary of Thailand's second-
largest mobile operator dtac, has partnered with Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) to
deploy Ericsson's Device Connection Platform as a service to develop and enhance
M2M products for enterprises. The solution furnishes dtac TriNet and its
customers with everything needed to deploy, manage and monetize millions of M2M
and consumer electronics devices.
Jon Eddy Abdullah, CEO of dtac, says: "We partner with a number of companies
that are experts in creating M2M applications that provide relevant and
affordable services to the community. Ericsson's Device Connection Platform will
enable dtac TriNet to provide flexibility and greater manageability in offering
end-to-end M2M products and services to our enterprise customers."
The platform offers dtac TriNet and solution partners the opportunity to
increase revenue and decrease operational costs, as well as shorten time to
market. With an M2M platform, dtac TriNet's enterprise customers gain the
ability to monitor devices anytime and anywhere, access information quickly and
accurately, and integrate easily into existing systems. dtac's current M2M
offerings include smart metering and point of sales solutions, fleet management,
logistics and delivery, personal tracking and mobile surveillance.
In addition, Ericsson will utilize its local and global expertise to accelerate
dtac TriNet's M2M go-to-market plans, and provide device testing. The ecosystem
created by Ericsson's Device Connection Platform will allow for mutually
beneficial business growth for both dtac TriNet and its partners.
Joacim Damgard, President of Ericsson Thailand, says: "We work closely with dtac
and support their strategy to grow their M2M market and to lead M2M services in
the country. This strategic partnership is in line with Ericsson's vision that
there will be more than 50 billion connected devices around the world - mainly
through M2M - by 2020."
Enterprises have to address multiple challenges to launch their connected
devices, and they often need to acquire expertise beyond their business focus.
For example, they need to build or integrate business support systems with
mobile opeartor networks in order to manage and support their day-to-day
operations. Partnering with Ericsson effectively removes those barriers to
entry, so that an M2M business can scale exponentially.
