Orange is collaborating with a local partner in Brazil, Porto Seguro Conecta to support IoT (internet of things) projects in Brazil to meet the demand from multinational corporations.
Porto Seguro Conecta is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in Brazil and claims to have over 330,000 active lines for M2M-based tracking cars.
The agreement between the two companies enables Orange to provide its global customers with IoT coverage in Brazil through the Porto Seguro Conecta connectivity and mobility platform. Porto Seguro Conecta’s extensive experience in IoT connections in Brazil, used for tracking car and residential alarms and IoT applications, is instrumental for local support, and complements the Orange global footprint.
The Orange Business Services IoT connectivity service is part of Datavenue, a modular IoT and Analytics solution. To enable advanced analysis and decision-making, the Datavenue solution encompasses the selection of relevant data and objects, their reliable and secure connection, and their management in the customer information system environment.
Orange claims it already supports over 10 million active objects across a variety of sectors, including Smart Cities, Healthcare, Automotive and Manufacturing.
