Telenor IoT extends its reach in the U.S market through strategic collaboration with Verizon Business.
Telenor and Verizon Business Partner to Boost Global IoT Connectivity
Telenor, a leading telecommunications company, has partnered with Verizon Business to enhance connectivity on a global scale. This partnership aims to provide Telenor's customers with improved performance for even the most demanding 5G applications.
The collaboration offers Telenor customers eSIM-based local access on Verizon's network in the US, allowing them to connect their IoT devices nationally across Verizon's advanced 4G and 5G networks. Telenor IoT customers in the US will benefit from Verizon's robust cellular IoT network, which boasts enhanced network reliability, low-latency capabilities, and the ability to utilize Verizon's evolving network infrastructure.
One of the key advantages of this partnership is Telenor's customers' access to Verizon's extensive cellular network, including upgraded 5G Ultra Wideband and C-band spectrum. This offers significantly higher speeds, increased capacity, and better network robustness.
Moreover, customers can manage their devices through a "single pane of glass", and with the press of a button, a device can switch to a Verizon Business eSIM and access Verizon's network infrastructure across the US. This service helps meet regulations for certain services that require data to stay within a specific country.
Telenor has a clear commitment to improving IoT services for customers and has a strong roadmap to expand both local network access and regional points of presence network. This partnership extends Telenor IoT's global managed IoT connectivity service, providing access to networks in more than 200 countries.
TJ Fox, SVP of Industrial IoT and Automotive at Verizon Business, expressed pride in the relationship with Telenor, stating, "This partnership is an important step in expanding network availability and quality of service for international customers." Mats Lundquist, CEO of Telenor Connexion and head of Telenor IoT, echoed this sentiment, stating, "The partnership with Verizon Business is an important step in expanding network availability and quality of service for international customers."
Verizon Business emphasizes the importance of global reach for customers who do business across international borders, and partnerships like this one help maintain seamless connectivity to expanding fleets worldwide. With this partnership, Telenor and Verizon Business are simplifying and enhancing connectivity on a global scale, particularly important for consumer-near applications like payment solutions.
The partnership between Telenor and Verizon Business extends Telenor IoT's global managed IoT connectivity service, allowing its customers to access finance-critical payment solutions with enhanced technology, leveraging Verizon's robust cellular network in the United States, which features upgraded 5G Ultra Wideband and C-band spectrum for improved industry performance. Verizon Business is committed to maintaining seamless connectivity for customers involved in cross-border business, as this partnership demonstrates.
