US telecommunications provider Sprint is using Telstra’s network to bring its Curiosity IoT platform to Australia.The arrangement goes “beyond roaming”, according to Sprint. Telstra is providing local breakout in Australia to improve roundtrip time and application performance. Curiosity IoT customers will also benefit from access to local profiles."Our local profiles will provide Curiosity IoT customers with a local point-of-presence in Australia which will be very helpful as a service differentiator, especially for latency sensitive applications,” explained the head of Global IoT solutions for Telstra, Gerhard Loots.
