The Norwegian telematics company ABAX has signed a 5-year partnership deal with mobile telecom company China Mobile Ltd., which has a customer base of 845 million subscribers.

The new partnership between ABAX and China Mobile forms a technical and knowledge based platform. ABAX said it will be delivering telematics solutions and technical knowledge into an increasing Internet of Things (IoT) and Chinese connected car market. Earlier in 2016, ABAX announced the opening of an office in Nantong City.

The deal was inked in Shanghai at the China Mobile IoT event in December.
