Modules and routers with pre-integrated global
connectivity, IoT management and security reduce time to market,
streamline operations and enable business model flexibility
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), a leading provider of
fully integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of
Things (IoT), today announced the world’s first ‘plug-and-play’
cellular modules and routers with pre-integrated global
connectivity, IoT operation management and security. This new
technology will dramatically reduce the time to launch IoT
solutions, streamline operations and enable business model
flexibility, thereby accelerating the global IoT economy.
These new cellular modules and routers enable customers to
select a single pre-certified solution to instantaneously connect
and remotely manage a fleet of IoT products and services across the
globe, and over the lifetime of the deployment. This is a vast
improvement to today’s practice of procuring devices, then sourcing
multiple connectivity subscriptions and SIM cards for global
coverage, and finally integrating disparate provisioning and
management platforms.
“The complexity of deploying IoT solutions is the biggest
challenge for businesses today,” said Philippe Guillemette, CTO,
Sierra Wireless. “Our new technology is much more than a SIM in a
device, it’s an industry breakthrough that truly simplifies the IoT
ecosystem. Our customers can focus on transforming their business
and rely on Sierra Wireless to securely connect, monitor and
collect data from their devices, at the right time, with the right
SLA, and at the right cost.”
With built-in security from device, through the mobile network,
to the cloud, Sierra Wireless’ innovative technology allows users
to remotely provision and change connectivity providers over the
air without ever physically accessing their devices. This reduces
risk and gives companies the flexibility to develop and scale IoT
applications and services over time and around the world.
“Sierra Wireless’ long track record and leadership experience in
IoT gives them unique insight into the many hurdles businesses must
overcome to bring their connected products to market,” said Dan
Shey, Managing Director and Vice President, B2B, ABI Research.
“Having both connectivity management and device management on a
single platform is a significant advantage that will allow users to
leverage data from their devices and the network to drive their
business. Sierra Wireless is also bringing the flexibility to
access global MNOs over the air, which is a key factor in enabling
the global IoT economy.”
“Nube uses Sierra Wireless’ device to cloud solution for our gas
monitoring solution throughout Latin America, which helped us get
to market faster than expected and better manage our devices in the
field,” said Chris Gnanakone, CEO and Founder of Nube. “Now, with
the integration of the SIM and subscription directly into the
module, this will further streamline our manufacturing, reduce the
total cost of our device and make our IoT operations even more
efficient.”
Sierra Wireless is piloting the fully integrated solution with
select customers, and it will be available for large scale
deployments in the second half of 2017 in select embedded module
and router products. These devices come pre-integrated with Smart
SIM connectivity, the latest eUICC remote provisioning technology
and the AirVantage® IoT Platform for application
enablement—providing all of the IoT infrastructure needed to
create, connect and manage IoT solutions.
