Singtel announced a new IoT service to simplify the linked device management for businesses. Its revised Multi-Domestic Connectivity solution, developed with cloud-native partner floLIVE, provides businesses with a single point of access to networks in over 190 markets. This eliminates the need to transition between several mobile operator agreements, SIM platforms, billing systems, and network switching tools.
The system promotes regulatory compliance and provides uniform service in locations such as China, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. To broaden its reach, Singtel has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Lenovo Connect, which focuses on assisting hardware manufacturers, notably in the automotive sector, in expanding internationally via a unified platform.
Why IoT Faster and Better Connectivity Matters for Manufacturing?
Automakers that are creating connected vehicles or planning for self-driving cars require reliable and flexible IoT connectivity. The vehicles rely on built-in connectivity to provide navigation, over-the-air updates, safety alerts, diagnostics, and entertainment services.
The new product combines Singtel’s network, Lenovo Connect’s device experience, and floLIVE’s multi-IMSI SIM technology to simplify deployment and ensure consistent delivery. The goal is to minimize time to market and make it easy to develop and deploy new features for in-vehicle systems.
Singtel Singapore CEO
Ng Tian Chong, CEO of Singtel Singapore, stated that the rollout is part of broader initiatives to enable intelligent mobility and develop momentum in IoT adoption in industries such as healthcare, logistics, retail, and smart cities. To meet new business demands, the company is also establishing the groundwork for edge computing and device orchestration technology.
Overcoming Network Barriers in Global IoT Growth with Singtel
The dispersion of mobile network platforms poses a significant impediment to international IoT expansion. Singtel’s Connectivity Management Platform (CMP) addresses this by providing a centralized interface for managing SIMs, devices, and diagnostics in real time. Enterprises may now migrate between mobile networks more simply using the latest eSIM standards, such as eUICC (SGP.32), and manage SIM and device lifecycles remotely, eliminating the need to replace physical hardware.
Connected vehicles are projected to play a significant role in driving up global IoT demand. The market for connected cars is expected to exceed US$250 billion in value by 2030, with Asia-Pacific driving the increase.
China is a crucial market for electric vehicles, according to the IEA’s most recent global outlook. Singtel has already partnered with automakers in the United States, Europe, and Asia to support their connected car programs. Its new partnership with Lenovo Connect seeks to simplify in-car payments, data collecting, smart navigation, and software updates.
Can Singtel’s new infrastructure fix common Wi-Fi problems?
The new offering draws on Singtel’s infrastructure developments since 2022. Over the last few years, the company has developed IoT services, including a cooperation with Verizon that allows US consumers to activate IoT devices via Singtel’s network in the country.
It has also supported 5G RedCap technology to improve connectivity for devices such as smartwatches and industrial sensors, as well as developed tools like the Paragon orchestration platform to govern how data and traffic flow between devices and applications.
With this type of technology in place, organizations may find it easier to grow and manage global IoT deployments via Singtel’s infrastructure.
