Stockholm, Sweden – Telenor Connexion has announced the launch of Telenor Cloud Connect, an end-to-end solution for companies that want to bring connected products and services to the market both quickly and easily.
We live in an increasingly connected world. It’s not just our mobile phones, tablet PCs and computers that are connected – electricity meters, fridges, cars, properties, even entire cities are now being connected at an ever-increasing rate. By offering smart products, not only do the companies themselves become more cost-efficient and competitive, but customers also receive a smarter service and a better customer experience.
Working together with its partners, Telenor Connexion takes care of all the complexity and helps companies from beginning to end. This involves not only integration of the communication hardware and application development to capture and analyse data, but also development of the visual interface in the form of a mobile application. The cloud-based solution has access to around 400 mobile networks all over the world in order to support global product launches. It also supports other open standards and communication technologies in order to further optimise the solution.
One company that recently launched a range of connected services using Cloud Connect is Regin. The Swedish-owned group of companies markets a range of products and systems for building automation in more than 70 global markets. The company’s aim is to make properties all over the world more energy-efficient by means of optimising, for example, heating, cooling and ventilation systems.
“Regin is viewed as one of the trend-setters in the market, and we’re constantly trying to develop and improve our products. There’s really tough competition in the international market, so our value-adding services are an increasingly important element of our offering,” said Stefan Blom, Sales Director at Regin.
“We want to make it easier for our customers to make good use of real-time data from our systems in order to better optimise their energy consumption.”
Regin chose to work with Telenor Connexion as the company was able to cover the whole chain from hardware integration to application development and operation. Telenor Connexion also has extensive experience of supporting business-critical systems that are launched on an international level. The partnership is a strategic one in which the connected services will be further developed on an ongoing basis.
“It’s been difficult for companies to move into the connected world. With Telenor Cloud Connect, we make it easy for companies to get started and to quickly join the market. In addition to solution design and operation, we work together with the customer to identify how we can capture important data, such as operating status, and to transform this into usable insights for better commercial decisions and to enhance the customer experience – often in real time,” said Per Simonsen, CEO at Telenor Connexion (pictured above).
“Being able to offer smart products and services will in the future be one of the most important competitive advantages. Companies that don’t make the move into the connected world will inevitably fall behind,” Simonsen conlcuded.
