BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* and China
Mobile have agreed to work together to further enable the Internet
of Things (IoT). The deal will help AT&T global business
customers connect and deploy their assets and offerings in the
Chinese market.
We're one of the first global operators to establish a
relationship with China Mobile. The carrier covers more than 1.3
billion people with its 4G network. That makes it the largest 4G
network in the world.
"China is one of the fastest
growing markets. It holds incredible opportunity for our global
business customers," said Chris
Penrose, President, Internet of Things Solutions, AT&T.
"Working with China Mobile means we can further develop that
opportunity. This makes it an even more exciting time to be in the
IoT."
So how will it work? Together, we're developing a new tech
platform that will seamlessly move a business customer's AT&T
IoT subscription over to China Mobile's local service. The
behind-the-scenes switch will help simplify the supply chain for
our customers looking to expand to China. This will give them more speed to
market and greater efficiency in driving new revenue
streams.
AT&T serves nearly 3.5 million business customers, helping
them connect their devices around the world.
"We look forward to helping AT&T business customers bring
their connected solutions to our market," said Dr. Li Feng, Chairman & CEO, China Mobile
International. "We believe this will help unlock new options and
experiences for our customers while achieving one of our core goals
– increasing the number of connected devices on our network."
