INDONESIA—June. 3, 2021—Tuya Smart, a leading global IoT cloud platform, and BARDI, a respected smart home brand in Indonesia, as well as PT XL Axiata Tbk, one of the largest mobile network operators in Indonesia, recently announced a new partnership to fully leverage their own advantages in technology, market, and channel, to bring a better smart home experience and a healthier smart lifestyle to consumers in Southeast Asia.

As one of the largest mobile telecommunication companies in Indonesia, XL Axiata offers voice, SMS, data, and other value-added mobile telecommunication services with a network covering the entire country for Indonesian consumers.

The cooperation with XL Axiata is the first time that BARDI, a Tuya’s brand partner, collaborates with the local operator in Indonesia. Currently, BARDI and XL Axiata sell smart IPC and lighting products based on Tuya’s technology on Tokopedia, Indonesia's largest e-commerce platform. This is just the beginning of trilateral cooperation. In the future, by virtue of Tuya’s IoT development tools, BARDI and XL Axiata will jointly launch more new, easy-to-use, and affordable smart products and solutions. At the same time, XL Axiata will also join Tuya’s open ecosystem, and interconnect with other ‘Powered by Tuya’ products to realize the “one app, all smart” vision.

In addition, XL Axiata's advantages in cellular services and broad network coverage will further improve the capabilities of ‘Powered by Tuya’ products. As more and more smart products enter Indonesian households, the market clout and awareness of Tuya, BARDI, and XL Axiata will be further enhanced.

"We welcome the strategic collaboration with Tuya Smart and Bardi, which forms part of our efforts in developing IoT-based services, one of which includes the smart home. Tuya Smart is an IoT platform, while Bardi is a product provider. Superior smart home products have a reputation that is well-known globally. We believe that with the help of their products, XL Axiata will be able to provide a satisfying experience for our customers," said Chief Sales Officer of XL Axiata, Octavia Kurniawan.

CEO of BARDI, Ryan Maurice Tallulah said, “the support of Tuya Smart enables us to help more enterprises enter the IoT market and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the smart home market in Southeast Asia.”
