Scaling Up Beyond Europe with Trusted Partner
INSYS icom’s manufacturing industry customers build and deliver machinery to their own customers’ manufacturing plants worldwide. To enable these IIoT machines to communicate, INSYS icom developed a turnkey communications system combining local area networking (LAN), cellular communications (using SIM cards), and dedicated VPN services, allowing customers to deploy and operate their machines anywhere easily. This comprehensive IIoT communications solution was extremely successful in the European market, and INSYS icom decided to expand into Asia to sustain this growth momentum. Scaling up beyond Europe meant new milestone for the company, not only regarding the broader geographic coverage (including mobile connectivity), but also the capability of establishing a reliable IIoT infrastructure to support global connectivity and address complex global-local laws and regulations. As the selected partner, CITIC Telecom CPC is facilitating INSYS icom in this business growth initiative via both technological and business assistance.

New 7x24x365 emergency support hotline services have also been launched, again supported by TrueCONNECT(TM) Premium’s superb reliability.
