Tata Communications and Cisco Join Forces to Advance IoT Solutions Globally, ETTelecom

NEW DELHI: Homegrown Tata Communications has partnered with US-based telecom gear maker Cisco to expedite the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) and streamline eSIM management across enterprises.

Tata Communications will combine its “MOVE” eSIM orchestration solution with Cisco’s “IoT Control Center” to enable simplified and scalable IoT deployments globally.

Tata Communications’ MOVE solution offers more than 350 million eSIM Operating Systems (OS) and managed SIM lifecycle with reach across over 200 countries and territories, while Cisco’s offering is used by over 32,000 enterprises and supports more than 270 million SIM IoT devices, including 100 million connected cars.

The collaboration will significantly benefit enterprises in the transportation, logistics, and manufacturing verticals, where reliable IoT connectivity is critical, said the companies in a joint statement.

The partnership comes as enterprises expand IoT operations, posing persistent hurdles, such as a fragmented hardware and technology ecosystem, in the management of a large fleet of devices, from connected vehicles to industrial sensors.

These challenges, in turn, slow down rollouts, increase costs, and limit flexibility, making it difficult for organisations to scale their IoT initiatives with confidence and impact.

“The unmatched power of Tata Communications’ intelligent IoT fabric and Cisco’s proven device management platform will empower global businesses to unlock new opportunities, streamline operations, and accelerate digital transformation,” said Marco Bijvelds, vice president and global head of Tata Communications MOVE.

“Tata Communications’ proven track record as a great Cisco partner made them a logical choice as we advance our vision for mobility services, particularly in managing connected vehicles over the full lifecycle – from manufacturing, to the dealership, to the road,” said Masum Mir, senior vice president & general manager, Cisco Provider Mobility.
