Japan’s MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) Soracom, which offers mobile data communication over its platform, announced today that it has fundraised about 600 million yen (about $5.8 million) from Pavilion Capital, the private equity fund of Singapore’s state-backed Temasek Holdings.

Coinciding with this funding, the company announced that it will set up a local subsidiary called Soracom International in Singapore. In partnership with Mitsui & Co., which participated in the previous $22 million series B funding round, Soracom is ready now to boost its global expansion efforts. The Internet of Things(IoT)-focused MVNO will start this thrust from the Asian market.
