Chinese IoT development platform service provider Tuya Smart and T3 Technology, a telecoms provider in south-east Asia, are strengthening their cooperation to deliver innovative IoT products and services to south-east Asia.

By leveraging Tuya’s IoT ecosystem, T3 Technology will launch IoT products and services across Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Tuya and T3 Technology will work together on developing smart hardware, applications and cloud platforms.

From enhancing technologies to improving marketing channels, Tuya will help T3 Technology increase its market share in Thailand’s IoT industry.

T3 Technology has formed mature business networks and generated a sizeable customer base in Thailand and south-east Asia. The two partners will jointly explore and advance the adoption of smart home products and services across the region.

“We are delighted to strengthen our cooperation with T3 Technology,” said Eva Na, vice president at Tuya. “Coping with climate change has become the common mission and responsibility for tech companies across the world. Leveraging our years of experience in building the IoT industry, coupled with T3 Technology’s extensive roots in south-east Asia, our strategic cooperation will enable us to help this region be greener and smarter.”

Together with Tuya, T3 Technology is expected to expand its IoT product categories to more than 50 in 2022, with its sales channels expanding to over 1000 outlets, including ecommerce web sites, supermarkets and appliance stores. The company’s annual sales are expected to reach $15m by the end of year.

“T3 Technology adheres to a customer-centric business model and we are proud to provide our customers in Thailand and south-east Asia with the best IoT products and services,” said T3 Technology CEO Leo Yu. “We are confident that our strategic partnership with Tuya will enhance our ability to bring high-quality IoT devices and services to our customers.”

Tuya provides value-added services for businesses with technology capabilities and an IoT ecosystem. Tuya launched Cube, a cloud-agnostic private IoT service deployment option earlier this year to help businesses build their own private IoT platforms and launch their own IoT products and services. Tuya has already helped Telkom, Indonesia’s largest telecommunication company, launch its own IoT products and services this year.
