Jasper, a global Internet of Things (IoT) platform leader, and China Unicom, the world’s third-largest mobile network operator, have partnered to power IoT services for enterprise customers in China. China Unicom has selected Jasper’s Control Center platform to provide its customers with essential IoT capabilities like mobile service management, real-time diagnostics, robust rating and intelligent business process automation.
According to Jasper, the partnership will enable China Unicom to offer its customers a global platform through which companies can successfully launch, manage and monetize IoT service businesses throughout China. Together, China Unicom and Jasper are uniquely positioned to enable accelerated adoption across the broad scope of IoT-ready industries in China and enable China’s IoT companies to easily scale their global operations, while also enabling a direct path for outside enterprises to break into the Chinese market. China Unicom is the latest to join Jasper’s global network of operator partners, which includes AT&T, NTT DOCOMO, Telefónica, América Móvil, VimpelCom, KPN, SingTel, Telenor, Etisalat, Telstra, Telecom Italia, Rogers and more.
With Jasper, we’re primed to break new ground in the Internet of Things. We’re already serving more than 10 million IoT connections, working with a largest number of automotive manufacturers and supporting various applications across smart cities and buildings, smart utilities, smart home appliances, video surveillance and health monitoring. We’re looking to expand to billions of connections in the next couple of years, and we needed a premier IoT platform partner to enable that rapid growth.
