Axiata Group is collaborating with Malaysian-based firm Atilze Digital to jointly implement Proof-of-Concept(PoC) pilots for Connected Cars and LoRa IoT network in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
LoRa, known as long range, low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technology provides a lower cost connectivity solution with broad coverage and lower energy consumption.
The initial IoT applications and services that will be implemented on the LoRa Network will focus on Connected Car, Asset Tracking, Smart Parking, Smart Metering and Security services.
Under the partnership, Atilze will supply the LoRa gateways, antenna systems, nodes and devices for use with existing and new sensor systems that form the basis of IoT applications in industries such as Transportation, Utilities, Healthcare and Smart Cities. Atilze will also manage, operate and provide maintenance and support services for its city-wide LoRa Network.

IoT is one key pillar of our ‘Axiata 3.0’ strategy and is an emerging digital services sector estimated to be worth potentially US$30 billion by 2020 in Axiata’s current footprint alone based on our own analysis of several independent forecasts.
