New Delhi Feb 13 (IANS) Global wearable and IoT solutions provider Omate on Tuesday announced a partnership with Tata Communications to equip its new "Omate x Nanoblock" smartwatch for kids with enhanced security features.
The in-built Tata Communications "MOVE-IoT Connect" platform in the smartwatch will carry location messaging and video-calling data over an end-to-end encrypted virtual private network (VPN) ensuring maximum security.
"What sets the Omate x Nanoblock apart from other smartwatches is the extra security layer provided by the global private network of Tata Communications MOVE-IoT Connect " Laurent Le Pen Founder and CEO Omate said in a statement.
"It means that parents can keep track and be in touch with their kids in real-time but no data on the network can be intercepted by unscrupulous individuals " he added.
The API-enabled automated "MOVE-IoT Connect" platform is fully integrated with Omate s business processes giving the company real-time visibility over customers data usage patterns and control over tariffs and billing.
The software-defined capabilities of "MOVE-IoT Connect" also make it easy for Omate to customise features and content with children s needs in mind.
"Through our partnerships and the ubiquitous network of Tata Communications MOVE-IoT Connect businesses are able to capture move and manage information on a global scale and give people the always-connected digital experiences they crave " said Anthony Bartolo Chief Product Officer Tata Communications.
