Tata Communications MOVE鈩� connects lifts globally securely and seamlessly to Microsoft鈥檚 Azure cloud platform   Tata Communications, among the leading digital infrastructure providers, is working with Surbana Jurong, one of Asia鈥檚 largest urban, industrial and infrastructure consulting firms, to equip its Internet of Things (IoT) enabled lifts and escalators with secure, scalable connectivity to Microsoft鈥檚 Azure cloud platform.                                                                                                              As a key part of its Smart City in a BoxTM solution, Surbana Jurong鈥檚 Lift Monitoring System enables property management companies and public sector organisations to remotely monitor the safety and maintenance of lifts and escalators. The IoT-enabled monitoring system uses artificial intelligence tools on a Microsoft Azure cloud platform to predict when a lift or escalator is likely to fail, and trigger an alert for maintenance before a breakdown occurs. Given the critical nature of this operation, Surbana Jurong鈥檚 Lift Monitoring System uses the highly secure Microsoft Azure cloud platform coupled with Tata Communications MOVE鈩�. This IoT connectivity service enables data to be carried over an edge-to-edge encrypted virtual private network (VPN) for maximum reliability.   鈥淎s the threat of cyber-crime continues to grow, safeguarding our customers鈥� applications and data is our number one priority,鈥� said Joe Keen Poon, Managing Director of Smart City Solutions at Surbana Jurong. 鈥淚f unscrupulous individuals were able to intercept mission-critical lift or escalator data, the knock-on effect could be hugely disruptive for many buildings and communities. By-passing the public Internet and using an ultra-secure VPN instead helps enhance the reliability of our customers鈥� lifts and escalators and minimise their downtime.鈥�   Surbana Jurong鈥檚 monitoring system is used in around half of all lifts and escalators in Singapore, and the company is beginning to make significant inroads in China, the world鈥檚 largest market for these infrastructure assets. The combination of Microsoft Azure and Tata Communications MOVE鈩� enables Surbana Jurong to collect and manage its customers鈥� lift maintenance data seamlessly globally, facilitating its expansion to new markets.   Surbana Jurong is on track to deploy IoT devices in all lifts and escalators that it monitors, with all data stored in Microsoft Azure data centres in Singapore. Tata Communications MOVE鈩� will help these IoT devices to be deployed quickly by leveraging the company鈥檚 relationships with more than 600 mobile network operators, and its private connectivity into Microsoft Azure data centres globally. The fully virtualised, API-enabled, software-defined and fully automated Tata Communications MOVE鈩� platform also gives Surbana Jurong real-time control and visibility over lift monitoring data, simplifying the management of lifts on a global scale.   鈥淚oT has the potential to transform how businesses operate, streamlining processes to save time and resources 鈥� but many IT decision makers haven鈥檛 embraced these technologies because of security fears,鈥� said Anthony Bartolo, Chief Product Officer, Tata Communications. 鈥淭he more connected the world becomes, the more important it is to safeguard the billions of 鈥榯hings鈥� around us. That鈥檚 what Tata Communications MOVE鈩� is designed to do, providing businesses with a secure, reliable way to capture, move and manage information worldwide.鈥�   Tata Communications MOVE鈩� is a part of the company鈥檚 aim of creating truly borderless mobile experiences for people and things. It is underpinned by Tata Communications鈥� relationships in the world鈥檚 mobile ecosystem and its global network, which today connects 4 out of 5 mobile subscribers and carries over 25 per cent of the world鈥檚 Internet routes.
