1NCE is the only company that can deliver true cross-border, future-proof IoT connectivity without uncertainty – a perfect extension of SoftBank Corp.'s existing IoT portfolio. We've closely followed 1NCE's strong U.S. launch earlier this year and expect the same explosive growth in the underserved APAC region.
