The combination of KaR-Tel’s mobile network with the Cisco Jasper IoT connectivity management platform enables enterprises to securely and cost-effectively deliver new connected services throughout Kazakhstan, and to scale those services globally as needed.  Cisco Jasper partners with 50+ service providers that manage IoT devices across more than 550 mobile networks worldwide, so businesses throughout Kazakhstan can easily utilise the Control Centre platform to deliver their IoT services to other countries as business demands.  

KaR-Tel is currently seeing significant demand for the Control Centre platform across multiple markets, including:

• Connected Car – Connected car initiatives enable auto makers worldwide to transform their vehicles into connected hubs capable of delivering services that enhance the driver’s experience, drive new revenue, and deliver powerful research & development insight into vehicle performance. Over 50 of the world’s leading automotive brands already utilise the Cisco Jasper Control Centre platform to deliver their connected car services.
