An expanded IoT partner ecosystem and broader global and regional footprint will enable multinational enterprises to more effectively scale their IoT programs. Dr Ong Geok Chwee, CEO of Bridge Alliance, one of Aeris’ new global Communication Service Provider partners, stated, “Bridge Alliance’s collaboration with Ericsson’s IoT Accelerator has cemented our position as the IoT gateway to Asia-Pacific, presenting a unique multi-domestic regional connectivity proposition that is supported by our market-leading member operators across our extensive footprint. We look forward to working with Aeris and leveraging its extended IoT portfolio and industry offerings to bring value-added services to enterprise customers through our alliance members.”
