New Verizon Developer Toolkit Makes IoT Projects Easy for Amazon Web Services Users
November 29 2018 - 12:00PM
Verizon today announced a new Internet of Things (IoT) development
toolkit using Verizon’s ThingSpace platform and powered by Amazon
FreeRTOS. Verizon’s ThingSpace platform is designed to make it
easier for developers, OEM manufacturers, and System Integrator
companies to develop IoT solutions that can leverage Amazon Web
Services (AWS) and connect to AWS IoT Core.
The DevKit provides an integrated ordering and activation
experience on the Verizon network, and simplified access to AWS
Cloud and IoT Services. Enterprises can quickly collect, manage,
and analyze data from IoT devices through the ThingSpace platform,
which also makes it easier for users to subscribe and manage their
IoT devices, and perform lifecycle functions such as location,
diagnostics and software management services.
AWS and Verizon have entered in a strategic relationship in the
IoT space with the aim of reducing complexity in bringing new IoT
solutions to the market with Verizon ThingSpace platform and AWS
IoT Services. This DevKit is the first in a planned series as part
of the ThingSpace Cloud Connectors program, which aims to simplify
integration with IoT developers' existing cloud service
providers.
“Instead of spending a lot of time struggling to manage IoT
connections and network options, this DevKit allows customers to
focus on IoT solution development for improved intelligence and
business performance, knowing that the underlying connectivity is
sorted,” said Shawn Hakl, senior vice president, business products
at Verizon. “Verizon’s Secure Cloud Interconnect (SCI) solution
allows companies to connect securely and reliably to AWS, so they
can quickly get their IoT solutions up and running. It’s about
opening up the potential of IoT to everyone.”
Plaban Patra, IoT Evangelist at Tech Mahindra, an early user of
the DevKit says, “This DevKit is an ideal way for developers to
start their first IoT project. The quick start guide helps users
configure the kit and start running on AWS with little programming
knowledge."
Verizon’s IoT strategy centers on leveraging the company’s IoT
network services to deliver cost-effective, secure, end-to-end
connectivity from IoT devices to enterprise data bases.
Additionally, Verizon simplifies the customer experience with
ThingSpace, an easy management platform for both endpoint devices
and IoT applications providing a single view of the entire IoT
ecosystem. Verizon will look to partner with IoT solutions
providers to leverage best-in-class technology to global
enterprises.
