Complete IoT stack simplifies the entire process for enabling and
deploying M2M and IoT solutions across a wide range of vertical markets
ROCHELLE PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 7, 2016--
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq:ORBC), a global provider of Machine-to-Machine
(M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today introduced its
Enterprise IoT Toolkit, which provides every layer of the IoT stack
required to develop market-specific solutions that improve asset
utilization, reduce operational costs and provide long-term return on
investment (ROI). ORBCOMM’s IoT Toolkit components are available
together or separately to enterprises, Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs), solution providers and Value Added Resellers (VARs) to create
M2M and IoT solutions with the assurance that all of the building blocks
are interoperable and come with a single point of contact for support.
As a global leader with the broadest set of enterprise IoT capabilities
in the market today, ORBCOMM is uniquely positioned to provide all of
the following tools for quickly developing flexible, scalable IoT
solutions.
-
Devices
ORBCOMM offers a full suite of tracking,
monitoring and controlling devices, ranging from individual components
such as interchangeable satellite modems, sensors and smart terminals
to turn-key, application-specific telematics solutions operating on
multiple networks.
-
Networks
ORBCOMM’s uniquely broad mix of connectivity
options ensures customers are reliably in touch with their assets as
cost-effectively as possible, even in some of the most remote places
in the world. With services available in over 190 countries and
territories, ORBCOMM’s network connectivity portfolio includes
services from seven Tier One cellular providers and three global
satellite networks, including ORBCOMM’s own low-Earth orbit (LEO)
constellation.
-
Subscriber Management
ORBCOMMconnect is a powerful
subscriber management platform that integrates multiple connectivity
providers and reduces the complexity of managing M2M assets and IoT
devices across these networks. The platform simplifies provisioning,
connectivity, setting thresholds and alerts, and more through either a
web-based interface or an API.
-
Device Management
ORBCOMM’s DeviceCloud enables customers
to speak one language to all of their connected devices. DeviceCloud
provides device configuration and provisioning, firmware upgrades and
key data functionality such as transforming raw data into actionable
information and generating alerts. It provides applications access to
multiple networks and devices in a single device-agnostic API,
allowing a replacement, upgrade or addition of devices, whether
ORBCOMM or third-party, without updating the application.
-
Application Enablement Platform
ORBCOMM’s iApp reduces the
time, cost and complexity of deploying high-performance RFID and
sensor-based M2M and IoT applications and solutions for the connected
world. With application templates and enterprise plug-ins for a number
of different industries, iApp can both jumpstart your IoT solution
development and provide ongoing, evolutionary application development.
-
Applications
For customers looking for complete end-to-end
M2M and IoT deployments, ORBCOMM offers a comprehensive suite of
cloud-based SaaS reporting applications for tracking and managing
assets across a wide array of industries.
“There is a lot of hype surrounding IoT, with many companies trying to
differentiate themselves in what is becoming a complex and crowded
space,” said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer. “ORBCOMM
stands far in front of the pack because we’ve been doing IoT long before
it was a buzzword. We believe our IoT Toolkit is the best and most
complete offering available in the market today because we’ve been using
these award-winning products and services for years to build ROI-driven
M2M and IoT solutions for our customers with great success.”
