Mobile operator Smart Axiata Co Ltd, in conjunction with electronics producer Nine Group Australia, on June 28 launched a variety of new Internet of Things (IoT) devices into the Cambodian market.
The advanced everyday electronic gadgets can be managed via the Smart Life app, allowing users to remotely control and secure their properties, Smart said, stressing that “every home can now become a smart one”.
Consisting of security cameras, smoke detectors, Wi-Fi light bulbs, a Wi-Fi remote, among other things, it added that the new appliances are “designed to provide homeowners with more security, control and convenience”.
Smart Axiata CEO Thomas Hundt underlined that the IoT industry is expected to metamorphose people’s lifestyles and their approach to technology. “By connecting ordinary household devices to the internet, today’s smart device consumer will have greater control over their modern day-to-day lives and home security.
“These new IoT home products showcase Cambodia’s rapid development in mobile technologies and paves the way towards the country’s 5G future. I am very proud of the role Smart Axiata is playing in this effort to digitally modernise Cambodia,” he said.
Smart said it and Nine are launching the IoT initiative with two lines of products, mainly centred on security and automation.
“To improve their home security, Smart customers can purchase items such as smoke detectors, door sensors and security cameras that connect to a central hub controlling all the devices,” it said.
Nine Cambodia managing director Kenny Yap said: “We know how important it is for our customers to feel comfortable in their homes and make sure they and their families feel safe.
“By partnering with Smart Axiata to introduce IoT home devices with Smart’s advanced network technology, we are giving our customers more control over their home, making it a lot more comfortable and secure.”
Smart said it and Nine are offering three other products it claims have the potential to dramatically change daily routines.
“The Nine Smart Wi-Fi Socket Plug enables people to remotely switch appliances on and off, while the Wi-Fi Bulb allows people to control lights remotely.
“The Wi-Fi IR Remote, meanwhile, enables homeowners to control appliances such as air conditioners, fans, TVs and other household devices remotely. All devices can be controlled via the Smart Life app. The devices can also be controlled by voice when connected to Google Home or Amazon Alexa,” it said.
