Verizon Business has announced two strategic partnerships to expand its global Internet of Things (IoT) offerings, teaming up with Singapore-based operator Singtel and satellite service provider Skylo. These collaborations will enable Verizon's IoT customers to access wireless services in over 200 regions worldwide, combining satellite, roaming, and native eSIM services, all managed through the Verizon ThingSpace IoT management portal.

Expanded Global Reach with Singtel

Singtel, a leading communications technology group, has joined Verizon's Global IoT Orchestration service as a key partner, supporting customers with the deployment of IoT connectivity in the Asia Pacific region. This partnership introduces Singtel's multi-domestic network offerings to Verizon's customers, allowing them to seamlessly manage their enterprise IoT applications and critical operational data, securely and in real-time across the Asia Pacific region. As a result, Verizon can now offer IoT connectivity in over 200 territories worldwide, up from the previous 100 territories.



Improved Connectivity with Skylo

Verizon's partnership with Skylo will bring satellite connectivity to areas in the United States where cellular coverage may be limited. Skylo's satellite-IoT connectivity powers network assurance in areas where terrestrial connectivity is challenged, ensuring that IoT devices remain connected and can transmit data even in remote or underserved areas. This integration of satellite connectivity will enable Verizon to provide reliable IoT services in remote or underserved areas, attracting customers who require consistent coverage.

Convenient Management with ThingSpace

Verizon's ThingSpace IoT management platform allows customers to manage IoT connectivity and services in all territories, domestic and international, on a single pane of glass. With Global IoT Orchestration, customers can activate devices in international regions using eSIM profiles from Verizon's international carrier partners. This centralized management system simplifies cross-border operations and improves the user experience for Verizon's customers.

Strengthened Position as an IoT Leader

By collaborating with established partners like Singtel and Skylo, Verizon reinforces its position as a leader in the IoT space. These partnerships foster opportunities for innovation and development, enabling Verizon to stay ahead of the competition and offer customers expanded global reach, improved connectivity, and convenient management.

In conclusion, Verizon's partnerships with Singtel and Skylo offer customers expanded global reach, improved connectivity, convenient management, and a strengthened IoT ecosystem. These benefits are made possible by the platform's centralized management capabilities and integration with partner MNO networks and eSIM profiles. As a result, Verizon's competitive position in the global IoT market is enhanced, and its customers can expect improved IoT services and experiences.
