Japanese Internet of Things (IoT) cloud platform provider, Kii has formed a strategic collaboration with KDDI, one of the largest telecom carriers in Japan, to launch KDDI Cloud Platform Service (KCPS). The KCPS is a mobile app and IoT platform designed for enterprises to drive the next steps in IoT development and increase focus on the cloud in building the backend support of these apps in Japan.
Kii helps developers and device manufacturers with an end-to-end platform optimized for building and running enterprise mobile applications and IoT initiatives.
According to Kii, KCPS consolidates KDDI Wide Area Virtual Switch, which integrates different virtual network layers, and Kii's software into one platform. This allows enterprise customers to access and connect to their intranet via KCPS, securely.
As a result, both intranet and Internet services can work seamlessly with any mobile application developed on the KCPS platform. KCPS can be managed in association with users and the device. KDDI's application development support will allow developers to build high quality, low price applications in a short period of time, said Kii.

As the IoT continues to gain mass acceptance, we see tremendous value in working with a respected telecom industry leader like KDDI to help mobile app developers get more IoT devices into the hands of Japanese consumers.
