Eseye, a cellular IoT connectivity solution provider, has launched AnyNet SMARTconnect on-device connectivity software solution. By embedding intelligent global IoT connectivity directly into any device, this new solution enables organizations to get to market faster and focus on creating value for their customers.
In addition, AnyNet SMARTconnect increases resilience, keeping devices connected and optimized now and in the future. As a result, IoT initiatives can scale without hiring costly and hard-to-find connectivity and firmware engineers. Introduced at the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona from January 31st, AnyNet SMARTconnect is already in use by several of Eseye’s enterprise customers.
Delivered as a separate plug-in software module, AnyNet SMARTconnect codifies Eseye’s decades of connectivity expertise into powerful and flexible device software that partners and customers can easily integrate into their IoT or connected devices. will do so. This ensures “right the first time” delivery, provides device design flexibility, and helps future-proof solutions for navigating current and future supply chain challenges. Additionally, it supports global deployment by enabling a single HIS SKU that includes initial bootstrapping and provisioning.
AnyNet SMARTconnect allows businesses to skip software development and install plug-and-play connectivity intelligence directly into devices. This allows us to bring our products to market up to nine months earlier, significantly lowering our costs and allowing us to focus on the applications and data that deliver value to our customers.
“One of the key words for IoT in 2023 is ‘optimization’. Bolting together a series of components is no longer enough, we hope they work well together. Just as devices, networks, protocols, cloud and edge storage/computing, security, and application logic are all optimized to work together, they need to be optimized for each other. This is especially exacerbated by the need to deploy his IoT in constrained environments where access to power, processing, bandwidth and memory may be limited,” said Transforma Insights founding partner. said Matt Hatton.
“Another watchword is ‘managed’. Companies adopting IoT need someone to handle these increasingly complex factors so they can focus on normal business operations. Every business needs an optimized and managed IoT solution. “
AnyNet SMARTconnect leverages Eseye’s AnyNet federation, a global mobile network alliance spanning 190 countries, providing access to over 700 global networks with more localization options than any other provider and award-winning Infinity IoT connectivity management Provided with the platform. Additionally, it includes a set of higher-layer communication protocol extensions such as MQTT, CoAP, and Lightweight Machine to Machine (LWM2M) that benefit from understanding and reacting to underlying network conditions.
For example, LWM2M may wait for increased signal strength and higher bandwidth to be more cost-effective before performing a Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) update.
AnyNet SMARTconnect includes global connection selection and optimization. Select, manage, and optimize radio access types (RATs) and network providers that work with modems and xSIM to tailor connectivity to your application requirements.
The new software improves connection resilience. Ensure a continuous data path with application data flows, MQTT/CoAP performance metrics, and network stability data by continuously monitoring data sessions, throughput, errors, and switching.
Other features include simplified data transfer and security. Using simplified ‘send’ and ‘receive’ SDKs and APIs for applications, in formats of the customer’s choosing (e.g. JSON or binary) he supports MQTT, CoAP and other higher layer protocols. The software also implements his TLS/DTLS encryption using the encryption engine provided by the cellular module, reducing resource requirements of the device CPU.
Another key feature is enhanced management, security, and compliance. LWM2M is used to efficiently transfer device management information and her OTA instructions for connection rules, operations and customer applications.
AnyNet SMARTconnect has an implicit agent that leverages MQTT to enable device-to-cloud visibility and provides device health, performance, and security measurements. Leverage built-in LWM2M to provide full-stack device and software lifecycle management including CPU, storage, firmware, OS, applications, and ML models. Plus, software connection management and routing improves compliance with data sovereignty, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, and more.
“The Kaleido 2022 Enterprise IoT survey of 750 global companies that have implemented at least one IoT project reveals that 84% of companies ranked the complexity of designing IoT devices as the biggest problem they experienced. Companies are not device experts and do not have the budget or necessary skills (such as firmware design and testing) to accomplish this. It underscores the need for a standard embedded connectivity software solution to be able to optimize and optimize, with multiple constraints such as battery performance, latency and security,” said Eseye CEO, Nick Earle said.
“SMARTconnect addresses these issues with embedded intelligence, dramatically reducing the costs and risks associated with IoT deployments and shortening the time to market for IoT devices by up to nine months.”
Eseye customer AmericanPharma incorporated the AnyNet SMARTconnect solution into PharmaWatch, an environmental monitoring device for the healthcare industry, for vaccine temperature monitoring during COVID. This solution has improved our coverage across the United States and enabled us to scale our PharmaWatch application globally.
“My experience with Eseye has been exemplary. Eseye has proven to be a first-class partner throughout this project. Response times are fast, answers and help usually far exceed expectations. Eseye’s AnyNet Thanks to SMARTconnect on-device connectivity intelligence, the new system will be more reliable than Wi-Fi and other cell systems we previously offered: easier to sell, easier to install, easier to support, and importantly We are now offering the best, most reliable, world-class systems on the market, backed by global, resilient connectivity,” said Chief Technology Officer, AmericanPharma. author Casey Harris adds.
