India-based IoT provider Quantela has signed a deal with T-Mobile in the US to bundle the carrier’s cellular IoT airtime with its smart-city solutions. Quantela is focused on cities and utilities in the US, it said, particularly in the smart street-lighting space.
The firm said the partnership will enable a more competitive IoT offering in the U.S. market. Quantela’s NB-IoT street light controllers will be connected to T-Mobile’s NB-IoT network in the US. Its management platform offers reduced capital and maintenance costs for street lighting networks, it reckons, via lower energy consumption and truck-rolls, as well as greater network security and coverage versus non-smart LED lights.
