Ericsson will further strengthen the global Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem with Microsoft by enabling enterprises to speed up the time it takes to launch mobile network-based IoT services.
Their collaboration will help simplifying the launch of mobile network-based IoT services for enterprises.
Ericsson IoT Accelerator allows enterprises to deploy their IoT solutions using Azure, which connects them directly to the ecosystem of mobile operators using the connectivity management service delivered by the Ericsson Device Connection Platform (DCP), which is part of the Ericsson IoT Accelerator.
Ericsson IoT Accelerator, a cloud-based, horizontal cross-industry offering comprising platform services and near-product services for telecom operators and selected industries, provides a continuous incremental set of functionality offered as a service to enable agile creation and deployment of solutions for IoT.
The connectivity management service of the Ericsson IoT Accelerator allows telecom operators to design, launch and evolve managed IoT connectivity offerings towards enterprises requiring cellular connectivity.
By cooperating with the continuously growing number of other telecom operators connected to Ericsson DCP, telecom operators can address the needs of global enterprises without making one-off investments alone. The platform gives the enterprise a unified service experience for their entire device fleet.
Also, Landmark chose Ericsson to build communications infrastructure for its intelligent micro grid ecosystem across North America.
The program includes Ericsson's Zero Site communications platform, cloud, core and IoT software solutions. Ericsson will provide micro grid management, integrating communications for the industrial IoT with battery storage applications and grid-control software.
