Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications Ltd (R-Com) on Thursday said it has tied up with US-based Jasper to offer an Internet of Things (IoT) services platform across India.

The platform is currently being tested in Reliance Group companies’ power plants and infrastructure projects, said Bill Barney, chief executive officer of R-Com Enterprise and Global Cloud Exchange (GCX), in Mumbai on Thursday.

R-Com is in discussions with “multiple clients" and state governments for deployment of the platform, said the company in a statement.

“The Modi government is very focused on IoT and it could become 15-20% of our government business," said Barney.

IoT is a network of “things" that include identifiable devices, appliances, equipment, machinery of all forms and sizes with the intelligence to seamlessly connect, communicate and control or manage each other to perform a set of tasks with minimum intervention.

Reliance Group companies will be the anchor clients for the IoT rollout in India, using the platform. A team under R-Com and Jasper will roll out IoT services for enterprises across sectors in the country.

The partnership will extend Reliance’s cloud services under GCX by helping its 39,000 enterprise customers launch IoT services with Jasper’s platform, said the statement.

The IoT services will help projects such as smart cities and smart grids, said R-Com.

Reliance Group companies have sued HT Media Ltd, Mint’s publisher, and nine others in the Bombay high court over a 2 October 2014 front-page story that they have disputed. HT Media is contesting the case.
