Telia launches sovereign IoT service in Sweden
Telia is launching Telia IoT Connect, a sovereign Internet of Things (IoT) service where connectivity and data are fully managed within Sweden’s borders. Available starting today, the service is developed for organizations that require secure and resilient IoT communication for business- and mission-critical use-cases.
Telia IoT Connect is built on Telia’s nationwide 4G and 5G networks and offers a long-term and sustainable platform for implementing, streamlining and scaling IoT solutions, while reducing dependence on global suppliers. By consolidating connectivity, operations and data management in Telia’s network, customers gain increased security and national autonomy.
Today, IoT is central to operations in sectors such as energy, transport, manufacturing, real estate and critical infrastructure.
Björn Hansen, Head of Advanced Mobility B2B, Telia Sweden: “We see a clear shift towards customers wanting to know exactly where their IoT data is and to feel secure that connectivity will work regardless of circumstances. With Telia IoT Connect, we’re moving IoT delivery and data management to Sweden and creating a secure and stable foundation for both business- and socially critical services.”
In March, Telia announced a partnership with Brookfield on Sweden’s largest sovereign AI initiative. The partnership builds on Brookfield’s previously announced plans to invest up to SEK 95 billion ($10 billion) in Swedish AI infrastructure, with Telia’s systems integrator, Telia Cygate, set to operate and deliver sovereign AI services on top of this infrastructure.
