Bahrain telco Batelco is working with Thales to deliver an IoT connectivity management platform to transform the management of IoT devices for business owners. 

The agreement was signed at last week’s Gitex show in Dubai by Batelco (www.batelco.com) CEO Maitham Abdulla and Guillaume Lafaix, vice president at Thales (www.thalesgroup.com).

The platform should simplify managing connections and rules for multiple users across different use cases, helping businesses improve their IoT operations.

Moreover, the platform can help business owners centralise their data while improving data communication and transfer capabilities. It ensures low latency and better-quality data transmission, increasing network capacity, all at a low cost.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Thales, a global leader in security for a connected world,” said Abdulla. “This collaboration allows us to provide our customers with cutting-edge IoT management that will significantly support their business operations and digital transformation efforts. By combining Batelco’s connectivity expertise with Thales’ advanced IoT technology, we can deliver a comprehensive platform that simplifies the management of data and IoT devices, driving enhanced efficiency and productivity for our customers.”

Lafaix added: “We are honoured to collaborate with Batelco, Bahrain’s first and leading telecommunications company, and bring decades of knowledge in connectivity management to their customers. Indeed, integrating Thales IoT connectivity within Batelco’s offering would provide its clients with an advanced platform for seamless and secure management of IoT device connectivity.”
