Magnus Rahm, head of Global Service Operations, Ericsson, commented: "The IoT market is growing very rapidly and we aim to use our expertise in this area to help our customers capitalise on this opportunity. Together with China Telecom, we can play a key role in realising the tremendous potential of the IoT by reinventing processes, creating new services, and capturing new revenue."

Utilised by more than 25 operators and over 2,000 customers globally, Ericsson's platform is further supported by its partnerships with Bridge Alliance and the Global M2M Association, which deliver global coverage and seamless integration with various IoT applications.
