To address this growing market, dtac TriNet, a subsidiary of Thailand’s second-largest mobile operator dtac, has partnered with Ericsson to deploy Ericsson’s Device Connection Platform as a service to develop and enhance M2M products for enterprises. The solution furnishes dtac TriNet and its customers with everything needed to deploy, manage and monetize millions of M2M and consumer electronics devices.

Jon Eddy Abdullah, CEO of dtac, says: “We partner with a number of companies that are experts in creating M2M applications that provide relevant and affordable services to the community. Ericsson’s Device Connection Platform will enable dtac TriNet to provide flexibility and greater manageability in offering end-to-end M2M products and services to our enterprise customers.
