    Taiwan Mobile to offer enterprise IoT services

    Taiwan Mobile plans to offer enterprise IoT services in the Taiwanese market using the Cisco Jasper Control Center platform.

    The operator plans to offer plug-and-play IoT services that can be configured to provide analysis, automation and diagnostic intelligence.

    The company will offer services for any industry, with a particular focus on segments including connected cars, mobile payment, manufacturing, smart cities and public transport.

    “Enterprises throughout Taiwan are eager to deliver new, value-added IoT services to their customers,” Taiwan Mobile senior director of mobile marketing and IoT services Eddie Chan said.

    “Companies are increasingly focused on offering services that generate recurring revenue while improving the customer experience. Taiwan Mobile is excited to be at the forefront of enabling this transformation for businesses throughout Taiwan via the industry-leading Cisco Jasper IoT platform.”

    Cisco acquired US-based Jasper and its cloud-based IoT service platform for $1.4 billion in March, as part of efforts to gain a stronger foothold in the burgeoning new market segment.

    The Cisco Jasper Control Center offers real-time monitoring, management and control over IoT services, and is scalable to global implementations thanks to the company’s partnership with 30 global mobile operator groups representing more than 120 mobile networks worldwide.

    Taiwan Mobile eyes investments in India, Indonesia

    Taiwan Mobile is considering investing in the telecoms markets of India and Indonesia due to their strong growth potential.

    At the operator’s annual general meeting, chairman Richard Tsai said the company is evaluating opportunities to enter the markets.

    While Tsai acknowledged that India’s overcrowded market has resulted in heavy price competition, he said that the large population is creating opportunities in segments including data transmission.

    The operator is evaluating the possibility of teaming up with operators in India to carve out a slice of the nascent 4G market in the nation.

    According to Tsai, the company has also been eyeing an entry into the e-commerce sector in Southeast Asia, with subsidiary momo.com preparing to explore the markets of the Philippines and Vietnam.

    Domestically Taiwan Mobile is focused on developing its third party payment business while kicking off an OTT content business. Taiwan Mobile has meanwhile set a target of lifting its 4G subscriber base to 5 million in 2017 from 3 million at the end of 2015.
