Singtel recently launched its enhanced Multi-Domestic Connectivity solution that facilitates seamless, secure, and regulatory-compliant global IoT deployments in partnership with floLIVE, a cloud-native IoT connectivity provider.
Through this partnership, enterprises can harness Singtel as the single, scalable access point to pursue international IoT expansion across more than 190 markets — from China and the Middle East to Europe and the Americas — eliminating the complexity of managing multiple mobile network operator agreements (MNO), SIM platforms, billing systems, and network switching.
As part of this development, Singtel also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with global wireless service provider, Lenovo Connect, to be its channel partner, focusing on IoT industry cooperation. Together, the parties will help OEMs expand to overseas markets — faster, more efficiently, and with full compliance — all via a single, unified platform.
For automotive OEMs, building the next generation of connected vehicles or cars equipped with built-in Internet access for navigation, safety updates, entertainment, and future-ready autonomous driving — reliable, secure, and scalable IoT connectivity is key. This integrated solution combines Singtel’s global IoT network, Lenovo Connect’s device connectivity expertise and floLIVE’s Global Network and multi-IMSI SIM technology — streamlining enterprise operations, reducing time-to-market, and ensuring consistent service delivery across borders. It also allows automotive OEMs to enhance or build new features that will improve the driving experience of their customers.
“With our strong regional presence and strength in international delivery, Singtel is well-placed to help companies seeking to expand into new markets with this transformative global IoT solution that simplifies global connectivity, ensures compliance, and enables scalable device lifecycle management,” said Mr Ng Tian Chong, CEO, Singtel Singapore. “Having laid the foundation with investments in network infrastructure, Edge computing, and global partnerships as part of our larger IoT growth strategy, we’re now offering an enhanced Multi-Domestic Connectivity solution to handle the complexities of next-generation IoT applications.
“We want to enable intelligent, borderless mobility for the future — while laying the groundwork for broader IoT transformation across sectors like healthcare, logistics, industrial automation, retail and smart cities.”
One of the major challenges in global IoT connectivity is the fragmented landscape of MNO platforms. Singtel’s Aggregator Connectivity Management Platform (CMP) resolves this by offering enterprises a unified portal that standardises integration, simplifies management, and provides full visibility and control.
Singtel’s new Multi-Domestic Connectivity solution and CMP, augmented by floLIVE’s Global Network enables:
- Centrally managed local connectivity with seamless switching between mobile networks via multi-IMSI and the latest eSIM IoT standards – eUICC (SGP.32)
- Enterprises to easily manage and update devices remotely due to the built-in support of the latest global standards for eSIM technology
- End-to-end lifecycle management of SIMs and devices across multiple CMPs
- Real-time visibility, control, and diagnostics for superior device performance
Enabling automotive OEMs to go global
The global connected car market is projected to exceed $250 billion by 2030, with Asia-Pacific among the fastest-growing regions. China is poised to remain the global leader in EV adoption, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Global EV Outlook 2025.
Singtel is already a driver of connected car innovation in the region — reportedly being the only operator to have powered connected vehicle programs for automotive OEM’s from the United States, Europe, China, and Asia Pacific.
By integrating floLIVE’s capabilities and partnering with Lenovo Connect — whose solutions span secure payment, connection and device management, data collection and computing — Singtel can now offer OEMs a frictionless path to international expansion, with fully compliant and secure in-vehicle connectivity and device orchestration.
This offering is particularly timely for OEMs navigating growing demand for real-time services, such as over-the-air updates, smart navigation, diagnostics, and infotainment.
Built on a foundation of IoT excellence
Since 2022, Singtel has provided localised IoT connectivity solutions that help enterprises overcome market-specific regulatory hurdles across the Asia-Pacific region. Its comprehensive portfolio includes:
- Partnering with Verizon to enable their customers to activate IoT devices internationally using Singtel’s networks in the region
- Pioneering 5G RedCap technology, which enables cost-efficient and power-saving IoT deployments, expanding connectivity for mid-tier devices such as smartwatches and industrial sensors
- Developing 5G, multi-access Edge Computing, and AI-enhanced orchestration platforms like Paragon that provide performance assurance on data/traffic moving from devices to apps
These core elements make Singtel uniquely positioned to offer global IoT connectivity that is scalable, compliant, and easy to manage.
