Smartwatches such as the Omate x
Nanoblock help parents stay connected with their children and know exactly
where they are when needed – providing invaluable peace of mind. This peace of
mind is now reinforced in the Omate x Nanoblock because Tata Communications
MOVE – IoT Connect™ carries all location, messaging and video calling
data over an end-to-end encrypted virtual private network (VPN), ensuring
maximum security.

“Given
the growing threat of cyber-crime, any device or application aimed at children
must be safeguarded with the highest levels of security,” said Laurent
Le Pen, Founder & CEO, Omate. “What sets the Omate x Nanoblock apart
from other children’s smartwatches is the extra security layer provided by the
global private network of TataCommunications MOVE – IoT Connect™. It means that
parents can keep track of and in touch with their kids in real-time, but no
data on the network can be intercepted by unscrupulous individuals.”

Tata Communications MOVE – IoT
Connect™ harnesses Tata Communications’ relationships with more than 600 mobile
network operators (MNO) around the world to bring the Omate x
Nanoblock reliable, high-quality network connectivity anywhere in the
world. These relationships also help accelerate Omate’s international expansion
outside its home market in China, allowing the company to sell the smartwatch
to retailers and other partners as a ‘wearable-as-a-service’, eliminating the
need for separate data connectivity agreements with different local MNOs in
each country.

“The immense transformational
potential of the Internet of Things hasn’t been unlocked yet because the mobile
networks which these applications depend on are inherently local,”
said Anthony Bartolo, Chief Product Officer, Tata Communications.
“Yet, businesses like Omate that want to reach customers worldwide, need truly
global, borderless connectivity to power their IoT devices and applications.
They can’t be constrained by local MNOs’ roaming policies. 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.”

of Tata Communications MOVE – IoT Connect™ also make it easy
for Omate to customise features and content with children’s needs in mind.
