Using Tuya's private IoT service deployment solution,Cube Solution,Telkom launched a consumer segment smart home service,IndiHome Smart,and a small and medium-business solution,sooltanCam.

Launching these products on Cube Solution allows for improved value-added services for consumer and business customers and creates potential for further product upgrades. Both products enable users to subscribe for new post-sale services to continue to upgrade their smart systems.
