NetComm Wireless and Telefonica announce global IoT supply agreement

In a recent joint release, NetComm Wireless and Telefonica have announced the signing of an IoT Device Supply Agreement. This new agreement further strengthens NetComm Wireless' presence in the US and Europe and offers new 3G/4G M2M/IoT capabilities for smart city, mobility, retail and energy applications across multiple geographies as Telefonica extends its IoT reach to over 2,500 enterprises worldwide.

“Telefonica is driving digital transformation on a global scale with a focus on IoT innovation and we are pleased to join Telefonica's partner ecosystem as the need for smart remote communication between business assets and machines becomes ever more critical for enterprises globally,” said Philip Micallef, General Manager M2M, NetComm Wireless.

Both Telefonica and NetComm Wireless have received notable recognition for IoT innovation with NetComm Wireless having received the Australian communications industry's highest accolade for IoT innovation, the IoT Innovator ACOMMS Award; while Telefonica appeared for the third year running in the "Leaders" quadrant of independent analyst firm Gartner Inc.'s report "Magic Quadrant for Managed Machine-to-Machine Services, Worldwide" published in October 2016.

Under the agreement, NetComm Wireless will supply a range of 3G/4G M2M/IoT devices including the: 4G M2M Router (NTC-140); 3G M2M Router Series (NTC-6200) and its 3G Serial Modem (NTC-3000).

Partnerships like this one are becoming the backbone of the growing IoT industry and there’s no reason to expect that trend to change, because it works. Innovation is increased and scale is easier to achieve when two or more enterprises join forces to make IoT goals happen.
