SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ayla Networks, a global Internet of Things (IoT) platform for manufacturers, announced that it has signed an official strategic cooperation agreement with China Unicom (HKEx: 0762; NYSE: CHU), one of three major providers of telecommunications services in China, to develop solutions for smart home and other IoT markets. The two companies will leverage their respective technology, products, services and channel resources to deliver IoT innovations.

The announcement was made at a conference in Guangzhou sponsored by China Unicom for the IoT industry. At the conference, Ayla and China Unicom are showcasing some of their ideas for future IoT joint development, including smart home, smart hotel, connected car, intelligent cold chain, artificial intelligence (AI) and other IoT solutions.

As a leading telecommunications operator, China Unicom has been actively exploring and promoting industrial innovation in new markets being made possible by IoT innovations. With the vast global reach of its IoT platform, Ayla Networks is an ideal partner to work together with to deploy high-value IoT services.

"We see tremendous promise in working with China Unicom to build new IoT solutions that enhance the growing Ayla IoT platform ecosystem," said Phillip Chang, co-founder, vice president and general manager of Greater China for Ayla Networks. "With China Unicom's comprehensive high-quality information and communications services, we are particularly excited about developing mobile IoT solutions."

IoT is the third wave of technology, following the PC and the Internet. Although the IoT is a new industry, it builds on network communications technology in combination with an amalgamation of traditional industries. In June 2017, China Unicom launched its Global IoT Connectivity Cooperation Initiative, which is designed to expand the IoT business market and create more value through cooperation between China Unicom and its partners.

Ayla Networks is one of the valued IoT partners China Unicom choose to work with. Ayla's IoT platform provides comprehensive device, cloud and mobile app connectivity for any kind of product. The Ayla platform not only speeds manufacturers' time to market for connected products, it also handles the intricacies of IoT security, performance, scalability and interoperability. As a result, manufacturers can focus on what they do best, while using the real-world knowledge gained from their connected products to improve multiple aspects of their business.
