Partnership uses eSIM technology to remove traditional cost and operational barriers to mobile market entry, giving Briant national reach beyond its fibre footprint.

WORTHING, England, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Independent Alternative Network (Altnet) and Internet Service Provider (ISP) Briant Broadband today announced the launch of Briant Mobile, powered by mobile platform provider data2go.mobi. Mobile is a natural complement to Briant’s broadband and VoIP services, but high set-up costs and physical SIM logistics have historically made market entry difficult for smaller providers. Using data2go’s eSIM platform, Briant has been able to launch a nationwide mobile service without those traditional operational barriers.

Extending the ISP / Altnet Business Model

data2go’s platform uses a success-sharing commercial model with a low start-up cost, designed to make mobile more accessible to ISPs and Altnets operating in a challenging market.

Mobile also gives Altnets an opportunity to sell beyond the geographic limits of their fibre footprint. Providers can offer multiple mobile subscriptions per household alongside broadband and fixed IP phone services, creating additional revenue opportunities and a broader customer relationship.

“We have always seen mobile as a natural addition to our broadband and VoIP services, but the traditional onboarding costs and supply chain requirements made it difficult to justify,” said Adrian Bain, Managing Director of Briant Broadband. “data2go gave us a practical route into mobile. Its eSIM platform removed much of the operational complexity and allowed us to bring Briant Mobile to market quickly.”

“ISPs and Altnets need cost-effective ways to diversify revenue and strengthen customer retention,” said Chandru Mullaparthi, CEO of data2go. “Our success-sharing model and eSIM technology are designed to make that possible. Briant Broadband is a strong example of how an independent Altnet / ISP can add mobile without building the traditional operational infrastructure around it.”

A Scalable Route into Mobile

While data2go’s immediate focus is on UK Altnets and ISPs, its platform can also support other subscription businesses looking to add mobile services. Briant Mobile is available immediately, with a range of data plans and eSIM activation.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PCI Asia Technology Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCI Technology Group Co., Ltd., and STRIDES Far East Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMRT Corporation Ltd., today launched a joint venture and officially unveiled PCI–STRIDES Intelligent Mobility Pte. Ltd. (PSIM) in Singapore. Headquartered in Singapore, PSIM will pursue smart mobility and rail technology opportunities, with a focus on Southeast Asia. It will combine the parent companies’ advanced rail technology and systems integration capabilities, with extensive expertise in rail operations, maintenance know-how and asset management.

Based in Singapore and serving Southeast Asia, PSIM will deliver solutions including Automated Fare Collection (AFC), Integrated Supervisory Control Systems (ISCS), Signalling Systems (SIG), Communications Systems (COMMS), Power Supply Systems, rail systems integration, digital rail and mobility platforms, and life cycle support services for railway and public transport operators.

PCI has long specialised in smart rail transit solutions and offers a full-stack portfolio of technologies, products and solutions. These solutions are used in 49 cities worldwide, across 130 rail lines and over 2,500 metro stations and 4,600 kilometres of rail lines. PCI has delivered major urban rail demonstration projects at the RMB 10-billion and RMB 1-billion scale for Guangzhou Metro, Changsha Metro, Chengdu Metro and Chongqing Metro. It has also established an end-to-end presence across the smart metro value chain.

As Singapore’s leading public transport operator, SMRT brings nearly four decades of experience operating and maintaining rail networks in Singapore’s dense, high-demand urban rail market. Through this joint venture, both parties will bring to market rail solutions and innovations that help railway operators improve operational reliability, operating efficiency, passenger experience and asset performance, and support the efficient management of rail assets throughout their lifecycle.

In its initial phase, PSIM will focus primarily on opportunities in Southeast Asia, particularly in markets such as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, as these countries continue to increase investment in rail infrastructure and urban mobility, creating further market opportunities.

In Singapore, PSIM will actively pursue opportunities in new-build and existing-system renewal projects, using AI technology to drive the upgrade and transformation of legacy systems and improve operational efficiency. It can provide localised adaptation, proof of concept (POC) testing, and performance verification for rail transit products and solutions.

Over the longer term, there is potential to expand into selected markets in the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa. Depending on the projects available, this could include the provision of technology services, participation in rail infrastructure investment or construction, and the assumption of operational roles.
