The company will also work with HPE to provide a range of domestic and cross-border IoT connectivity and management services, particularly for applications requiring elements of mobility, such as connected cars, fleet management and transportation services, the statement added.
LoRa is essentially a wireless communication technology dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT) / Machine to Machine (M2M) communications network. LoRa technology provides for a network that is a low-power, secure, bi-directional which organisations can use to connect objects. ET had reported in January that Tata Communications plans to expand its LoRa network to 60 cities by the end of 2017.
"As part of our commitment to innovation and in driving digital transformation globally, we are creating a cohesive, resilient and highly secure network to deploy IoT applications in India," Anthony Bartolo, president, Mobility, IoT and Collaboration Services, Tata Communications, said regarding the partnership.
The HPE Universal IoT platform will have increased LoRa gateway support, enabling the use of multiple LoRa gateways with a common set of applications for simplification of device provisioning and control in heterogeneous LoRa environments.
The project would involve connecting devices, applications and other IoT solutions over the LoRa network in smart buildings, campus, utilities, fleet management, security and healthcare services in nearly 2,000 communities, covering over 400 million people where the first phase of the roll-out targets Tier 1, 2, 3 and 4 cities in India.
"..our partner centric approach will enable Tata Communications to build multiple vertical use cases for its Indian IoT network on a common platform with a common data model," David Sliter, vice president and general manager, Communications Solutions Business, HPE, said.
