Michael Angiulo, corporate vice president, ISV and SI at Microsoft, said the latest IoT solution from AT&T will run on Microsoft Azure cloud, and will use several Microsoft enterprise components, such as Azure Cosmos DB and Microsoft Power BI to track, monitor and manage IoT assets.
AT&T Asset Management – Operations Center enables a single IoT application, supporting multiple devices, communication protocols, networks and cloud environments. Its built-in dashboard lets customers tailor data visualization or use APIs to integrate it into existing enterprise systems.
AT&T will work with Microsoft to bring Operations Center to market. The solution takes advantage of AT&T IoT Platform Services (Flow) and the Azure cloud platform, providing global scale and high availability.
The solution will initially be deployed using AT&T Global SIM on LTE and LTE-M networks and, in the future, will be available through AT&T multi-network connectivity using other network modes like satellite and WiFi.
AT&T Control Center, which will be used for SIM management, provisioning and activation, helps customers speed time to market, run operations more efficiently and manage connected IoT device initiatives.
“AT&T is committed to giving enterprise customers the tools, platforms and the connectivity they need to more securely manage their IoT assets wherever they’re deployed,” said Chris Penrose, president, IoT Solutions, AT&T.
