Today at Hannover Messe, the world's leading trade
fair for industrial technology, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) announced
the IoT Accelerator. IoT Accelerator combines horizontal,
feature-rich IoT platforms with Ericsson's services and a
marketplace where customers from sectors such as public safety,
utilities, transport and smart cities can connect with partners and
monetize their solutions. IoT Accelerator will be offered as a
service to enable customers to overcome the barriers of cost and
complexity and rapidly develop and deploy new IoT solutions.
The IoT platforms' capabilities include data
management, billing, device management, connectivity services and
analytics. Planned expansion modules include a self-service portal,
developer environment and software development kit. IoT Accelerator
will leverage the Ericsson Cloud System to support hybrid cloud
deployments and meet data sovereignty and security requirements.
All main connectivity standards are supported, and the Accelerator
will leverage Ericsson's Cellular for Massive IoT software
solutions, including support for NB-IoT, LTE Cat-M1 and EC-GSM-IoT
technologies for low power wide area applications.
The offering will leverage Ericsson's complete
portfolio of services, including everything from initial setup
services to business consulting, application development and
maintenance, systems integration and industry transformation
services.
The marketplace included in the offering is both a
repository of apps and a collaborative development site. It allows
companies to develop solutions in close cooperation with ecosystem
partners and - optionally - make them available to their own
customers.
While the IoT market is developing rapidly,
successful customer engagements require the ability to adapt to
local preferences, adhere to specific regional or industry
regulatory requirements and enable ecosystem cooperation to develop
solutions that can be rapidly brought to market. For this reason,
Ericsson will support IoT Accelerator customers with regional
business labs that can execute global capabilities locally.
Orvar Hurtig, Head of Industry & Society at
Ericsson, says: "We believe in empowering organizations to connect
people, devices and things as quickly and easily as possible. We
will initially focus on public safety, utilities, transport and
smart cities customers, continuously adjusting to their needs and
feedback, and improving ease of use and delivery speed through a
DevOps approach to software development. We deliver these
capabilities to our customers via the IoT Accelerator."
IoT Accelerator will be available at the end of Q3
to customers globally.
