Brazilian Datora Telecom is seeking to get a big share of the machine-to-machine market. The company has just announced a mobile unit dubbed Datora Mobile. At the same time, the company also said it aims to get 15% of the country’s M2M market over the next five years. It is a big step since M2M is just beginning in Brazil.
At Informa’s recent MVNO event held in São Paulo, service provider TESA Telecom announced that it has requested a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) license from the regulatory agency Anatel, as it looks forward to launching machine-to-machine (M2M) services as well.

Brazilian-based Datora owns operations in the U.S, Portugal, Spain and Guatemala. With its new unit, Datora Mobile, the company is starting to look into other Latin American markets. Datora Mobile has opened an office in Santiago, Chile to explore potential partnership opportunities, including one for roaming.
Datora noted it has all the core GSM network elements, including HLR, Gateway, SMSC, USSD Gateway and GGSN—all have been activated and have data connectivity in full operation. Datora Mobile said that it has all the needed settings to deploy voice communications and SMS within its network.
The service is in the final trial stages. “The basic structure of our M2M operation is established, and we can now devote ourselves to enriching the system to allow the most varied solutions for customers,” said Wilson Otero, Datora Telecom’s CEO, in statement.
The company focuses on security, transportation, health, finance and electricity meter verticals. The goal is to offer a range of diversity in order to produce new applications for the “Internet of Things.”
