Ericsson has announced a partnership with KDDI, a leading Japanese operator, to deploy Ericsson Device Connection Platform (DCP). The partnership will provide enhanced connectivity services to KDDI’s enterprise customers and support the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions on a global scale, a press release said.
DCP is a cloud-based IoT platform that will enable KDDI to offer enterprises IoT connectivity management, subscription management, network connectivity administration and flexible billing services. Enterprises will therefore be able to deploy, manage and scale IoT connected devices and applications globally, while improving operational efficiency and reducing costs.
By offering seamless multinational connectivity, DCP enables customers to capitalize on the global growth of connected devices. The platform lowers entry costs as well as total cost of ownership, and makes deploying, managing and scaling IoT solutions financially viable for device manufacturers, enterprises and service providers.
