PLDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of network provider PLDT, recently hosted an Internet of Things (IoT) roadshow, gathering industry leaders and technology partners to explore the advantages of its Smart IoT platform.
Designed as an all-in-one IoT-enabled solution, Smart IoT promises to transform the transportation sector by enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and improving passenger experiences.
The roadshow served as a platform for transport operators to learn about various applications of Smart IoT, including vehicle and delivery tracking, payment systems, smart meters, and remote device control. These technologies offer practical tools for optimizing operations and improving service delivery.
“The Smart IoT platform empowers transport operators with real-time data and actionable insights, enabling them to enhance operational efficiency and optimize costs,” said Robert Jay Sumulong, head, Smart Category for IoT Solutions at PLDT Enterprise.
