en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aeris announced a new IoT connectivity management service agreement with Japanese telecom operator KDDI Corporation, continuing its expansion in the Asia-Pacific market. KDDI has been using the Aeris IoT Accelerator platform since 2017, which was originally provided by Ericsson and acquired by Aeris in early 2023.
This renewal indicates sustained demand for the IoT accelerator platform, which currently manages 104 million IoT devices and 42 million connected vehicles globally. Following the acquisition, Aeris enhanced the platform globally, including performance upgrades, system modernization, cloud migration, and expanded partnerships with international connectivity providers. The Silicon Valley-based supplier stated that these capabilities enable enterprise customers to deliver connectivity solutions through a single SKU and reduce billing complexity in any country.
Sean Gowran, Vice President of Sales for Aeris Asia-Pacific, stated that the Aeris IoT partner ecosystem and agentic AI platform innovations continuously enhance the company's ability to provide advanced global connectivity services. The unified platform simplifies and securely scales IoT deployments, allowing multinational enterprise customers, including automotive OEMs, to innovate and expand during critical market growth phases without adding complexity.
The accelerator's comprehensive IoT capabilities support automakers in deploying connected vehicles in international markets and help utility companies manage decades-old smart grid infrastructure in a unified manner. Other features include integrated security and diagnostic functions that enable deep visibility and monitoring without device-level software, as well as advanced eSIM orchestration controls for long-term flexibility and mission-critical deployments.
Aeris views this latest agreement as a continuation of services while expanding platform capabilities to support growing global enterprise connectivity demands. The company considers the Asia-Pacific region a key market, which leads global IoT connectivity growth, with an expected annual increase of 21.7% by 2033.
In another initiative within the Asia-Pacific region, Aeris partnered with Globe Business, the enterprise arm of Globe Telecom, to launch the Aeris IoT Accelerator platform in the Philippines. When announcing this development in February, Aeris helped Philippine enterprises and multinational automakers use built-in zero-trust network security to expand and monitor their connected device fleets both domestically and internationally. KD Dizon, Vice President and Head of Globe Business, stated at the time that as industries like automotive evolve, the demand for seamless, native connectivity has become a matter of operational excellence and cost efficiency for customers; by bringing global expertise to the Philippines, they are helping partners overcome technical barriers.
Aeris has also broadened its coverage across the wider Asia-Pacific region by expanding its partnership with Bridge Alliance, a mobile alliance representing over 35 major mobile network operators in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. The agreement, announced earlier this year, marks the commercial launch of Aeris IoT Watchtower in the Asia-Pacific market, making it the first platform to offer a fully integrated cellular IoT security solution for Asia-Pacific enterprises.
