BARCELONA, Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* and
Swedish IT and engineering company, Prevas, are joining forces to
fast track IoT and connected services for global industries and
vertical markets. The 3-year deal will help businesses apply our
global and highly secure IoT solutions with the industrial design
engineering know-how of Prevas.
The goal? To help Prevas customers get their connected products
and services to market quickly.
For more than 30 years, Prevas has served companies in
industries such as automotive, defense, energy, healthcare,
engineering and technology. It provides these businesses with asset
management, product development and IT professional services. Now,
Prevas is using its expertise alongside our IoT technology
capability. It's a business model that can help Prevas quickly
integrate IoT services into its global operations and customer
projects.
"We have a passion for resolving technology challenges. Our
customers look to us to help them tackle Industry 4.0 and
industrial IoT. It's a massive opportunity. Alongside
AT&T, we'll fast track our customers to success with
innovative, global smart services," said Prevas VP Product
Development Solutions, Bjorn
Andersson.
How it works
Prevas will use our IoT solutions to help
its customers easily access their smart operations and services
from nearly anywhere in the world. AT&T capabilities
include:
- AT&T's Global SIM provides IoT connectivity across 500
carriers and 200+ countries and territories

automation of rules and alerts
IoT engineering for smart medical devices
Prevas
makes smart medical devices with built-in sensors for healthcare
companies for use in medical clinics as well as at home. The
devices remotely monitor and gather patient data for location
tracking, temperature and humidity. Using our IoT
connectivity, Prevas can transfer this data to the cloud of the
designated healthcare service provider. This makes for an efficient
and easy way for healthcare providers to access the data. For
example, for use in clinical research and diagnosis.
Smart factory floors
Whether it's developing a mining
drill or a complex robotic solution, the safety and efficiency of
factory floor operations should not conflict. Prevas also
designs smart manufacturing solutions that support safer
environments while optimizing operational efficiency.
Our IoT technology can collect and relay performance data from
connected systems designed by Prevas in near real-time. This
data provides monitoring insights as well as predictive
maintenance. They can also provide a way to plan for efficient
production and maximum operational uptime.
Innovating for success
Customers and companies that
work with us, like Prevas, also have the opportunity to work with
the AT&T Foundry. This is in addition to the Prevas
R&D and engineering facilities in Scandinavia. The
AT&T Foundry is a network of innovation centers. At the
Foundry, we collaborate with startups, technology providers and
enterprises to move ideas to market fast. We do this by
discussing our customers' business challenges; then we test,
iterate and develop prototypes for innovative technologies, like
IoT-enabled smart devices.
"Our collaboration with Prevas is an example of how we are
fueling business transformation with edge-to-edge capabilities. For
industrial and hi-tech global businesses looking to get their
connected products to market quickly with the help of IoT
technology and services, we're the go-to team. Alongside Prevas,
we're offering a fast track, IoT go-to-market strategy," said
AT&T Region President for Europe, the Middle
